I was pleasantly surprised staying at the Standard. Customer service was fantastic (outside of one rude pool-side server). We were able to get a decent price on the room and really enjoyed the stay. The rooms are "bare-bones chic." Don't expect fancy hand towels and designer lotions. If you want to stay on the Strip and look up at the Hollywood Hills you can't beat this place. Right near everything. If you get disillusioned with the whole rudeness that exudes in Hollywood, walk across the street to the Saddle Ranch and enjoy their laid-back, amazingly friendly service and food.
Pros: Price, location, service
Cons: Bare bones rooms
