When I arrived to check in they gave me a room I didn’t book. When I asked to get the room I booked they asked me why I needed so much space. Odd.

The morning after my check in people allegedly working for the hotel (this is what they said when questioned) were banging on trash like old refrigerators and other junk right outside the window at 7am.

Later on that day management tried to enter the room while occupied and I was naked.

This is an unsafe place for any minority I was targeted along with my partner for harassment
These people are mean and disgusting humans.

Checked out after about 15 minutes. The overall atmosphere of the property is sketchy with no redeeming qualities.

The man who checked me in was OUTRAGEOUSLY MEAN AND UNNECESSARILY RUDE to me upon check-in ... He made me feel TOTALLY UNWELCOME and that he didn't want me there -- There is a very small cash deposit due upon check-in and I apologized and told him that I had stayed here a few months ago, and I forgot about that, as it is the ONLY hotel that I've stayed at in the US and Europe and South America that requires a CASH deposit --NOT CREDIT CARD -- He got SUPER ANGRY AT ME!!! He shouted at me \"If you stayed here a long time ago or short time ago you should know!!!\" -- My mouth dropped to the floor!! -- I couldn't believe it -- I asked him if I could check-in and then return in 20 minutes with the cash -- he said yes.
The room was nice, clean -- but his unnecessary meanness to me (I'm almost 60 years of age) a COMPLETE STRANGER and a customer who had just paid to stay there for 5 nights has officially made me not EVER EVER EVER want to do business with Hollywood La Brea Inn EVER again. LOTS of other hotels in Hollywood! Thank you -- Rick Worthy, Actor & Producer (\"The Magicians\" - NBC/Syfy Network )

It;s not Hilton for sure, it is ancient motel style place. But it is the best in its price category. It is safe, has free parking and stays literally on the Walk of Fame. It is kept well, not filthy I haven't seen any roaches or stuff like that. No noise at night, liquor store is at the gate :-). If you are not able to spend too much money it will be good for you. Otherwise, go to Loews Hollywood and stop writing bad reviews about this place. :-))

Stay at ur own risk

During checkin it seemed as the guy was having a bad day. He was upset about something and demanding payment without explaining what it was for. When asked if he was ok he shouted back that he was fun and if I was ok and I have to pay at that moment for what I did not know. Someone from the back came out and they talked in their native language and that seemed to clam the guy down as his tone had changed with me and finally got an explanation on why I had to put money down for a deposit for the key card and remote control. Room was nice size but dirty floors, strands of long hair here and there, bathroom shower trickled water, bed was hard, walls very thin and you could hear things happening all around. TV mostly had blue screen as satellite. This didn’t pick up channels so it was worthless to have a remote control. Last day u can hear a tenant having words with the front desk in the parking lot a disagreement of some sort.

We have stayed here a couple of times this last time we had some loud neighbors but eventually they quiet down , but other ritmé had no complaints. It’s small a little run down but for the price it the one of the best , if your on a budget , the service was friendly not much that we needed from them only check in And check out , parking got full at night so definitely didn’t want to move my car later that 8 pm , it worked just fine for us for a 3 day trip to LA we basically just needed somewhere to rest that was close to everything and safe to leave my car at night .

Hollywood La Brea Roaches, Mold, and Dirt on my!😱

We stayed at Hollywood La Brea inn and the room was a huge disappointment upon arrival. From dirty sheets, dried blood and urine on mattress covers, mold in bathrooms, dead roaches on the floor, urine on the toilet seat , rude staff, and no working tv in one of our rooms. Our rooms we’re located at the very bottom area in the corner and random guest we’re knocking on our door at 3am. \"Complementary breakfast “ consists of stale coffee and a little Debbie’s hunny bun. Beds and pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. Plumbing is an issue as well. Our sink and tub took a while to drain. Very tight parking spaces and homeless people all around. Needless to say, We’ll never stay here again. Save your money and time and book somewhere else. You’ve been warned.

Right on Hollywood blvd ( star of Elvis and the Beatles just steps away) and yet out of the way of foot traffic, its tucked behind a corner plaza so kind of hidden which we like but getting to it durring heavy traffic may be a pain. If you plan to park you car and just walk everywhere else like we did its perfect. Just dont forget your walking shoes. Minor issues like a leaky sink handle seem small when your out most of the time. No breakfast but they offer coffee. Overall it was a good stay and I would cone back.

This was a disappointing hotel. We booked it to be relatively close to Universal Studios and assumed that a hotel on Hollywood Blvd would be ok. The pictures made it out to be pretty tired and the reality was the same. No joke, “Breakfast” was a biscuit and a cup of coffee. The chocolate donuts ran out and weren’t worth waiting for.
On the second morning I also witnessed a robbery from one of the rooms. Felt very edgy.

Rented Our Reserved Room to Someone Else

My wife is a wheelchair user. We booked a wheelchair accessible room. We showed up at 5:30pm. Apparently someone else showed up at 5:15pm so he gave our room to that person so we were stuck in a normal room for a night.

A cash deposit was needed to get the room key, which we had no clue about until we arrived.

Was pretty clean with a good location, but the walls were very thin and the beds were so hard it aggravated an old back injury.

They did give us $50 off for our room not being accessible the first night.

Decent Motel near Chinese and El Capitan Theater

This was a comfortable motel within walking distance of the El Capitan theater. Pillows are the normal super flat ones that do nothing for side sleepers, so bring your own pillow if you are able to. The area can be a little noisy with it being close to the cross streets of two popular streets, nothing a white noise phone app shouldn't be able to mostly address.

For the area, the La Brea Inn is affordable and safe.

That's about where the Pro's end and the Con's begin. Cash deposit required for room key & TV remote, not that you'll be using the remote because only six channels are available and it's none of the ones you're hoping for.

The area is convenient, if sketchy. Saw the police no less than twice during my two night stay.

Bottomline: Outdated and overpriced. Stay away from the breakfast.

This motel's location is very convenient, given that is literally 2 blocks away form the Hollywood's blvd chinese theater. However, the rooms, are outdated, very outdated. Carpet looks extremely dirty. I was very skeptical about the bedsheet and cover, because really the place looks like a hookup place or a place where people do their businesses for the day and go about their day. They make you give $20 deposit and hand you your key, and tv remote control until you check out and bring it back. If you need a \"Do not disturb\" sign, you need to ask the office as well. Rooms do not have microwave, In order to microwave you food, guess need to use the one in the office which is the only one they have and is not very clean at all. They advertise breakfast, but in reality , breakfast. is just mini donuts and or a few oranges and some coffee. This motel would make so much money if they spent a little in renovating it and cleaning it. However, they do not seem to care much about this place. Its conveniently located but needs major major update and cleaning.
