They upcharged me for parking, a roll away bed, etc. it was nuts. I ended up paying twice the price because I needed a roll away. NEVER AGAIN

We had prepaid two nights at the Hollywood Hotel but left after the first night. The public areas have some historic charm, and although the area is shifty, the secure parking was good. Our room was shabby with chipped paint on walls and furniture. Expedia listed that the room had blackout drapes, but as noted by other reviewers, the drapes were thin and did not block the light. The main reason for sacrificing the money paid for the second night was the bed. It was very hard, dipped in the middle and made a loud cracking noise whenever one of us moved. I awoke with back pain which lasted for two days. It was worth the $216 to not have to face the bed again.

The hotel is nice and the rooms are spacious. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The pool is great! The fitness room is pretty sub par. The surrounding area is very run down, but I never felt unsafe. There are some great restaurants and cafes in walking distance (nido cafe, yellow button cafe, Bianca’s deli) I would stay here again.

First impression was that the Historical ambiance was nice. So the host staff was hit and miss. Some were responsive once I got their attention, others were just matter of fact. The pool was there but not opened for use, No good excuse for that in the middle of July. I was told that they had an on site bar/club. They do not. I asked them about it and they advised that they were waiting for city approval. Parking was additional $40+ per night. EV Charging was not working at some chargers, and you can hardly read the screen at the ones that did work. No coffee maker in the room. Only one bath towel in a room reserved for two people. There was no top sheet on the bed, and one of the pillows smelled like body odor. We had to ask support staff for sheet and towels and she was very nice. The AC was loud and sounded like something was loose inside the vent. The room had obvious visual needs for maintenance.

I have to say the thing that stood up most was the staff. They were all very helpful, especially when someone in my family got sick. They always had recommendations of places to go eat, places to rent a car, etc. Space was clean. And everybody was very nice. The breakfast was also very good. They really did a great job making our stay comfortable.

The suite was nice, but it did not look like the picture when I reserved. It was also a handicapped room, which the only difference that impacted us was the open shower. On the other side we received a very big jacuzzi in the bathroom.

This is not in an area where you are going to want to walk around at night. We were going to a show at the Ahmanson and just stayed here for the night so it was great for that. Their parking lot is gated, lit, with security cameras. You must use your room keep to go both up and down in the elevator.

Wish we had more time to use their pool area. It seemed very nice.

Good bargain hotel. The room, was massive with a beautiful courtyard view. The room also had peeling paint and wallpaper, very worn bathroom and linens. I noticed that the cleaning staff just flipped the bedsheets over instead of changing them. The breakfast was good but no different than a standard continental breakfast except these items were individually priced. The neighborhood seems pretty sketchy but we walked at night and were unbothered. This is not THE Hollywood Hotel. The famous one is in a different class altogether.

Left for another hotel 20 mins after checking in. Rooms on the ground floor are exceptionally noisy - traffic noise is insane. The room smelled like old ciggarettes and the floors were cold and everything echoed. I’d expect this if a room was $100 or less - not for $300! The photos online are not at all what is in real life. The pool is in the back of a parking lot, so you hear cars the entire time.

Consistently rude service from the staff. Check in was extremely challenging as they initially would not allow me to add someone to my reservation and then once that was done they denied me access to my own hotel room that was paid for on my credit card, claiming I was not on the reservation despite showing them multiple emails demonstrating I was the primary person on the reservation. We received zero housekeeping during our stay, despite asking for it, and when we asked for bowls after ordering food for delivery, we were told they had absolutely no bowls or even cutlery despite having a restaurant on the premises. Additionally, the photos they posted online are very misleading. There is no hotel bar or common space to hangout and the rooms were not well maintained. The air conditioning was so incredibly loud we opted not to run it when we were awake, which was rather uncomfortable. The only decent things about the establishment were that the pool was quite nice and the location was decent in terms of convenience to the LA Zoo and some lovely restaurants. But I will never return.

I never leave reviews but I had to here. This was our first time staying in a hotel with our rescue dog. We chose it because it was dog-friendly and close to our friend’s house. The parking lot is big, fenced in and very secure. It’s expensive to park ($40/night) but I read that beforehand and had prepared for it. The hotel was lovely and well maintained on the outside and inside. We were given a 1st floor room bc of our dog and I was worried about noise from upstairs rooms, but didn’t hear a single peep. The room was overlooking a cute courtyard, it was clean, and comfortable. Our nervous rescue dog settled in nicely. Overall I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel and would absolutely stay again with our dog.

Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Reassuring security measures. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed (proper mugs rather than paper cups were a nice touch), as did the bathroom.

I didn't use the bistro or the pool, but they both looked pleasant.

The location is handy for buses and the Metro station, and many interesting or necessary places are easily accessible through those or on foot.

The only downside was the poor wifi, which caused some problems. Aside from that, I thoroughly recommend this hotel.

The check in staff and front desk staff were quite helpful. Thank you for the upgrade!

Thank you too for providing EV charging in the parking lot.

Please note: overnight parking is $40 added to the cost of the amount paid through Hotels.com. There are few other parking options available.

There is no in room coffee??? There is also no coffee in the lobby. The restaurant downstairs charges $10 for one cup of drip coffee to go? Almost no Vegan options in this restaurant.

And the request for a late checkout time is $100 even though I checked in the night before at 11:00 pm? They automatically charge your card if you aren't out of there by 11:30 am?

A lot to pay for staying for only 12 hours.

We stayed here for one night in May because it was priced right and was near the concert we were attending that night. Place was dirty. Nothing in the room worked. Elevator didn't work so we had to take the stairs with our luggage. The staff was the worst part of the whole experience. They were not helpful and very rude. I called the hotel after we checked out because we forgot something and I was on hold for ten minutes. We decided to just drive back to the hotel and I walked in as I was still on hold, and I watched someone at the front desk press a button on the phone to hang up on my call. Price wasn't even good enough for this dump. Stay somewhere else.
For anyone on the staff reading this. DO BETTER.

I really like the hotel. I had issues with electrical outlets near the bed (they were too loose and the plugs constantly fell out). I also struggled with the AC. It is motion detected but it appears it only works when you are walking around in front of the thermostat. If you sit on the far side of the room to watch tv, or go to bed, the thermostat doesn’t record movement and thus doesn’t keep the temp at the temperature you set it to. This was frustrating in the middle of the night, waking up super hot, and having to get out of bed to move around so the AC would detect movement and come on for a period of time.

The hotel is in a perfect location for exploring Hollywood and the districts of Los Feliz and Silverlake, plus close to the Metro for Europeans like me who are too afraid to drive in LA!

I have stayed here before in one of the modernised rooms and it was great. This time we were on the top floor with a room overlooking the courtyard and, whilst is was exceptionally clean and the furniture in good condition with good space, the bathroom and decor were in need of updating. In particular, there were lots of big cracks in the ceiling above the bed, some of the bathroom decor and fixtures were stained and the wallpaper very dated. If the room had thesame update as the one we stayed in last year, it would be excellent. The reception areas would benefit from some maintenance/renovation.

Staff were as helpful as friendly as ever and we had great sleeps as the room was quiet and bed comfortable

Worst hotel visit I ever had. There are metal plates on the street next to my room and every time a car was driving over it, it made a loud bumpy noise. So if you wanna have a restful night, don’t go there. The guy Micheal at the reception had the audacity and said to me before my stay that it’s a quiet room. Don’t go there, they didn’t care about my issue, the other receptionist (not Michael) didn’t care about a refund or anything else. What a joke this place is, don’t go there!

Overall, the hotel looks great. The room we got, however, wasn't that great. It is possible there are other rooms that are in better shape. The room wasn't very clean. The paint was scraped off in certain places. The shower drain cover was not installed all the way. The lights near the beds did not work, and the wall-mounted adjustable lights were so loose that we did not want to move them. The pool was very nice and private. The center courtyard was beautiful. Parking is expensive. There needs to be better details of the room when you book because the pictures of the room weren't the same when we booked it. It seems like they have a bunch of different room styles, and we didn't realize that when we looked at the pictures of the specific room we were getting.

The rooms were quaint. Double beds, not queen, more like two full size. Coffee cups, no coffee pot or coffee but they encourage you to just buy some from their restaurant. I wouldn’t say you get amenities. I’ve never been to a hotel where everything had to be purchased. I believe ice was free. Overall, it serves the purpose of a nice clean place to sleep. Don’t expect anything “extra”. Parking is expensive AF. It’s nice. I would stay there again if I needed to be in that area, but I was underwhelmed. The cleaning staff were the best part of the place. Great people. Very friendly. Everybody else just stares at you like you were an inconvenience paying them$150+ a night.

We stayed at the Hollywood Hotel because it was close to our venue, and the hotel itself looked great online. The location was definitely convenient, and the property had a nice appearance overall.
Unfortunately, the breakfast experience was extremely disappointing. Service took forever because there was only one person cooking and taking orders while another employee only handed out food and made coffee. The wait was long, and for what we received, the price was shocking.
We paid almost $95 for 2 bananas, 2 coffees, 2 fruit parfaits, and 2 croissant breakfast sandwiches. Definitely save your money and eat elsewhere for breakfast. The convenience of the location was nice, but the breakfast was overpriced and poorly managed.

3pax for 5days stay. Room we 1st got was not cleaned so they had to transfer us to a different room that’s smaller and no seating area. It had 2chairs and we asked for an extra chair but hotel said they didn’t have any extra chair to provide. Shower area was cramped. Also used the hotel’s laundry room but laundry detergent dispenser wasn’t working and we used the dryer for 2cycles(50min each cycle) but clothes came out still wet. Minor things but keep in mind, we stayed there for 5days so you’d think they’d provide a more comfortable stay. Only upside is that it’s walking distance to a lot of food options, pool area was nice(3ft-8ft deep) and beautiful, close to Griffith observatory, Hollywood sign, Hollywood walk of fame, Beverly Hills, Rodeo drive, downtown LA, California Science center museum and anything east or West Hollywood area. Basement Café was also a plus for your morning drinks and snacks.
