Location and rate were both very good. Condition of the room and facility are what you could expect for a bargain price. You get what you pay for. My advice would be to spend a bit more.
Photo is the free breakfast. What you see is what you get!

Safety is not their concern when we talk about rooms, locks on doors are easily to open, they charge $7 for an extra room key, tacky car placard,

No toiletries at all. Only 2 bath towels, had to ask for a hand towel. Breakfast was a joke ( cereal in a plastic tub). Coffee was instant coffee. Got there 50 mins before check in and wanted to charge $30 to check in early and wouldn’t hold luggage so we could eat. Filth in corners , shower was cracked and water went everywhere. AC was very old window unit. Mattress was gross ( didnt see it until day we left when a corner of fitted sheet came off). I will not go back -

Hollywood VIP Hotel – Orchid Ave
⭐️☆☆☆☆

We had a very disappointing stay at the Hollywood VIP Hotel.

We arrived early because our flight landed ahead of schedule. The hotel lobby was completely empty at the time. We were informed that early check-in would cost $30. When we asked if there was a bell room or storage area where we could leave our luggage until check-in, we were told that would also cost $30. Since there were no other guests present, this was surprising.

We left, returned about 15 minutes before the official check-in time, and were reminded that it was not yet check-in. The clerk said he would check if the room was ready, then came back and said it was, and we proceeded to check in.

Upon entering the room, the first thing we noticed was a cockroach on the floor, which we immediately had to deal with. We also noticed that the room door did not fit properly in the frame and did not close squarely.

The room was stocked with only two towels total. I went back to the front desk to report this, and the clerk returned with three additional towels, all mismatched and smaller than standard bath towels.

The bathroom was in very poor condition. The water control knob in the shower was damaged, the shower base had significant mold buildup with caulking and paint bulging, and the shower head was rusted, leaking, and spraying water inconsistently. The bathroom ceiling light was exposed and visibly dirty with mold and dust. Overall, the bathroom appeared poorly maintained

It was a horrific experience, I checked in on the 3rd, when I went to bed I noticed a shadow next to my door, and I could see very little movement, I watched and didn’t take my eyes off the door.. someone stood there doing who knows what, but there was no noise or anything. I got close to the door and told the person to stop and leave. They left, but they came back. I went online looking for the front desk phone number and it’s not listed. So I had to go downstairs to the front desk, explained the situation and they said they’d keep an eye out. Apparently they didn’t because who ever it was came back and make a long story short I did not sleep, on the 4th the same exact thing happened.. I got the manager’s email sent her an email along with the videos I recorded.. nothing! No one ever replied. I need to sleep I was tired so I moved rooms, paid for another day. Emailed this person one more time, I’ve checked out for almost 2 hours and still no word from anyone at the hotel.. CARING AND PROFFESSIONAL 🙄

Not worth it/ they double charged me the deposit - parking was not secure or worth 30$ - the shower didn’t work - the room smelled like cat piss. They give you a tiny shampoo packet and 2 tiny bar of soaps - if was extreme poverty conditions - stay somewhere else - they should charge 50$ or less per night -

This place is terrible. It smells extremely horrible and the common area and the bedrooms. We were almost able to breathe. It was so bad we had to leave early. The room is poorly put together. It doesn’t even look nice the bed is extremely cheap. The shower and the bathroom was dirty. Everything smells like smoking cigarettes except they charge a fee if you smoke in their facility so I’m confused on why it smells horrible like that. I asked for blankets. They didn’t even have extra blankets. Staff were super rude. I needed to move my car over , the staff and another hotel resident came to the door to asked me to move my car which was extremely unprofessional. The other president should have not known the room that I was staying in let along come along to knock on my door and rudely asked me to leave this place needs to be shut down

Location is convenient but parking is expensive and the neighborhood can be less than ideal at night so it was disappointing to pay so much just to not have the lot be gated. No free parking within the neighborhood also.
Room was very clean and the AC worked well. The lighting in the room was also not great but with a ring light we brought it was fine. Overall pretty happy.

One of the most disgusting looking hotels. We stormed out of there. No smoking is allowed in the building yet our room smelled like smoke and had cigarette burns on the pillow cases! Dirty walls and bed frames! We got moved to another room which was supposed to be better. It didn’t smell but had cockroaches!!! We also had crackheads chilling by the parking lot…felt totally unsafe in the hotel and outside. I would give this hotel 0 stars if I could…so so bad.

The items for the breakfast buffet for the whole hotel was a box a cereals, 2 donuts (yes 1+1), instant powder coffee, not gated parking lot in an alley at the back of the hotel feels very unsafe because the presence of homeless people living in front of the lot.

The pros are it’s a short walk to the Hollywood Bowl and a few blocks away from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The bed was firm, water hot and soap body wash mini lotion provided. I stayed in a King room on the ground floor that air conditioning is not working properly. Because of that a window was open and there’s no chair. Morning staff told me this is why the room wasn’t being rented out. I was offered another room upstairs (no elevator) and was frankly to tired to lift my heavy suitcase . The shower should have been cleaned of the mold around the edges. No water or cups provided. No washcloth. What bothered me the most was the instant coffee for the continental breakfast . It would have made the world of difference to have fresh brewed coffee and say bananas. Near the magic castle I have to say the garbage left on the outside landing greeted us when we arrived and it was gross ya know? Also screams in the night. Some poor soul was murdered. Stay here if none of what I said matters to you.

Parking is pretty decent for Los Angeles. The rooms are dated but clean. It’s an older building and you can hear a lot through the walls and door but luckily everyone was quiet and respectful. The location is excellent if touring Hollywood is your goal. Towels are pretty cheap but clean. Ask in all I would recommend this hotel for short stays when you won’t spend a lot of time in the hotel.

Overall experience was very poor from beginning to end. I just have to say it was in a convenient location close to Hollywood. From Checking in I was never informed that they will charge for parking $30 per night . The parking lot is on the back ally where all the homeless live and is dark and very dirty, very poorly maintained. The whole property has a smell like old and dirty place. We get to our room and it was modern looking but very poor maintained as well, chandelier didn’t turn on, bathroom light was missing a bulb, window open, remote control had no lid for the batteries, fridge won’t close all the way and has water leaking, the bathroom shower leaks all over the bathroom and no fan in the bathroom, but the worst thing was the towels, we got 2 old dirty different colors towels. We end up paying $200 per night with the taxes and fees for this hotel. I have to say is the worst hotel I ever stayed at. I would never stay here again.

The staff was friendly and helpful, particularly Javier. It’s a cute building with character with fun Hollywood glitz and glam decor. The rooms were spacious and I loved the amount of counter and desk space. I read a review from about a month ago that the AC was broken but it was working great. Easy walking distance (like 2 minutes) to great shopping and the Hollywood boulevard.

Cons: the front lobby furniture was well worn. Our toilet seat was cracked all the way through. We got two cheap, thin towels. The continental breakfast was supposed to be just cereal but they didn’t have any milk, and all they had was instant coffee.

A night in a swamp....

My Mom had purchased the room as a gift for me when I went to The Who concert at The Hollywood Bowl. I called the day before and asked if it would be OK for me to check in even if the credit card had a different name. The women who answered said that it would be 'no problem'. I got there....AND IT WAS A PROBLEM! The woman who answered the phone and the woman who was at the desk were the same person. She lied to me and tried to blame it on another employee telling me that the room was reserved but not confirmed. I had my Mom on speaker phone. I told her to take a pic of her ID & text it to me to show to the woman. That was not acceptable. I was very upset & she kicked me off the property. I could not find a room anywhere else so I came back. I had to pay with my own credit card. The rooms do not have coffee makers. I need hot water for my tea. I had to go in the lobby in my nightgown to heat water in the microwave. The water did not get hot. The window was wide open with no screen. I did not want to close it because L.A. is humid. There was a lamp on the night stand and it did not work causing me to have to get up to turn the light on and off. It was an overhead light. The bathtub had no plug and the water was cold. There was no trash can. I had to throw away sanitary napkins, dirty paper towels and used dental floss and just leave them on the floor. I called my bank and told them the whole story because it will be a cold day in hell that I will pay for that!

We needed to book a room last minute and the price was low so it worked for what we needed. The outside is kind of sketch. Breakfast consisted of cereal and the parking lot didnt really feel secure at all. It's really close to hollywood blvd so if you dont need amenities and just need a place to crash this seems like it would do the job. When we were checking out, the front desk agent was on the phone with the owner/manager(?). It was a little off putting because we had to go and we literally heard her tell the agent to make us wait while we were standing there but he at least respected our time and checked us out

By \"breakfast\", they mean 1 kind of milk + 1 kind of Ceerios, nothing else, not even tissue paper to wipe your mouth! Parking is $30 and inconvenient. Homeless people around, so feeling unsafe. No hair drier in room. Commod seat is broken. Shower water does not drain immediately causing a pool of water after shower. No extra towel.
