The Franklin Hollywood place was great. My family and I have stayed there before and loved it nice and clean rooms, the staff was awesome and friendly. If we needed anything they would accommodate. The pool was crystal as well and the best part is that it’s just minutes away from Universal Studios.

This is a very nice hotel that is walking distance to the hollywood bldv area and only a 5 minute drive to universal studios. Its also very close to a lot of good takeout restaurants that you can walk to. We felt safe enough to walk at night in this area as well. The hotel itself is very clean! Has a lot of good amenities, including a washer and dryer on site that came in handy traveling with a family of 5, and a restaurant and bar. The beds were also very comfortable! The rooms were nice but could definitely use some updating (i.e. the carpet and worn walls), but I never felt like the room was dirty, just dated. The staff was also very welcoming and nice. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Hollywood.

Staff are absolutely wonderful, the pool is beautiful and heated, rooms are very clean, and comfortable beds. We had a pretty wild issue (not the fault of the hotel at all) where the room above us flooded our bathroom, making it unusable. The amazing front desk desk staff figured out what to do for us in a completely booked night and comped our room. I would stay here anytime Im in Hollywood. The style of this hotel is so cute, I love the theming!

The beds were comfortable, the hot water was FIRE, the location was perfect and the diner in the lobby was convenient and delicious. Valeting our car was mildly annoying but at least I didn't have to park in a tiny space or stress about finding a spot. I would stay here again for sure!

This is not the first time we've stayed here, and it won't be the last!
Comfortable room and wonderful service. I confess, I was picky and asked to change rooms and they accommodated me cheerfully.
Then, I embarrassed myself because I compared the size and view to a previous room we stayed in - not realizing they had upgraded me on a previous trip without telling me!
It's a great place, perfectly located for so many theaters, and the Clark Street Diner below is the best breakfast in town.

Front desk unfriendly, window in room was open and could not be closed, fire alarm went off in the middle of the night, water bottle filling station in the hallway was crazy loud when dispensing (waking us up) and pillows like rocks. Not much sleeping here.

The room was very nice and clean. Staff were kind and polite. Website did indicate it was a double room. However that is not what I got. It was a standard room with a double bed. Very misleading information. I was disappointed when I realized it. I was under the assumption. It was a double room with double queen beds. I didn’t say anything as not to make my stay uncomfortable. All went well.

As a person who runs a cleaning business, i understand cutting costs with cleaning products, but i feel like the products that has been used smells really bad. Scents can improve wellbeing, and the minute I stepped in the hotel and the hotel room. It doesn’t smell clean and fresh, smells like dirt covered in flowers, using deodorant on top of smelly armpits.
Unfortunately that’s how I felt.
It’s a nice place, paid extra for a nice view, but other than that, I’m not impressed.
The place has a very cool vibe tho.
But smells like a cheap motel

My stay at the Franklin Hollywood Hotel was very disappointing.

While the hotel offers valet service, the valet staff were unprofessional and lacked basic customer service. They were eating meals while receiving vehicles and offered no assistance with luggage. At check-in, the hotel made a photocopy of my ID, which felt invasive and was not disclosed on the website or booking platforms.

The elevator was out of order during my stay. Staff claimed it went out that morning, but it remained nonfunctional the entire time, making it likely the issue existed longer. I was required to use the stairs, though staff did help carry my bags.

The room looked modern and trendy at first, but there were hairs on the pillow, which was unacceptable. The room was stuffy with poor ventilation and extremely loud, suggesting inadequate insulation. The bathroom was nice, but the shower was very small. The TV was difficult to use and required multiple remotes just to control volume and channels.

While the hotel has some vintage charm, it needs significant improvements. Overall, it felt more like a decent motel than a hotel. I cannot recommend this property in good faith.

The near universal studio was a little misleading it’s still 15 mins depending on traffic. Was a cute spot. Absolutely no parking it’s in a residential street that’s lined with cars so paying for extra valet was required. Property was updated and has a Hollywood urban feel. Pool was heated and open till 10 with fun lighting! Staff was friendly and accommodating when asked

Great priced hotel, good value for money, room clean, asked for servicing but never happened. I used laundry facilities which were reasonable. Close to Universal Studios. Surrounding area has many homeless people and rubbish on streets but we had no troubles walking to and from Walk of Fame day and night (10-15mins). Would recommend for those on a budget, it definitely met our needs (family of five - we got 2 x 2 Queen Bed rooms)

We were initially given a room that must have been next door to a bar because it was LOUD. They were able put us in a new room which was quieter. Unfortunately, the towels seemed dirty. The shower had very little pressure and we had to stand with our back against the wall to have the water hit us. The bed mattress was warped with my husband and I sliding to the middle of the bed. The pillows were very lumpy, like a bag of cotton balls. We ended up checking out after one night.

Room was clean and updated. Old school heat/AC unit. Famous restaurant (diner) on the first floor was closed, which was frustrating over the new years holiday. Takes long time for shower to heat up (where they are trying to save water in California!), and there was absolutely no flow from the shower head. Folks running the place were nice.

This hotel nailed it. Trendy vibes? ✔️ Spotlessly clean? ✔️ Big, roomy rooms? ✔️

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt cool, modern, and welcoming. Everything was impeccably clean (always a win), and the rooms were surprisingly spacious — plenty of room to relax, unpack, and actually breathe.

Stylish without being stuffy, comfortable without being boring. If you love a hotel that feels fresh, fun, and effortlessly cool, this is it. Would absolutely stay here again — no question.

Breakfast is not free, but the Clark Street Diner is great! The hotel is fine, quirky rooms. I woke up a bit startled that a young Marlon Brando was staring at me. The room was clean and spacious, but the shampoo and conditioner bottles in the shower were completely empty. Otherwise, just what we needed for an overnight in the area.

Towels had a weird old smell on two consecutive days, they really need to buy a new pack.

Also there was a sign to clean the room but no one did. On asking at the front desk they mentioned that we need to inform at the front desk that the room needs to be cleaned. Guests need to be informed correctly on such things and please remove the sign if not applicable!

Clark Street Diner (inside hotel) was excellent, hotel bar was popular and had a great staff. Location is awesome for Hollywood Blvd bar scene and convenient to Hwy 101 for driving around LA. Front desk staff tried to pressure us into valet parking ($40/night) and rooms are cleaned only by request, but otherwise an excellent choice.

Really cool old school Hollywood Hotel!

I’ve never been in a hotel where every inch of every hallway and every public space was covered with movie pictures, celebrity autographs, everything - even the elevator - has classic wallpaper pictures from old movies, and a replica of feet-in-cement from the Chinese Theatre down the street.

The building is covered with neon, and has a wonderful old school classic diner in the lobby. They serve excellent high-quality food, have their own bakery - where the pastries and breads were all homemade and super high-quality - and the service was excellent.

Yes, you have to pay $45 for valet parking over and above the normal hotel rate, but that’s a small price to pay to have the location of this hotel. We were only a couple miles either way from virtually everything that we wanted to do on the trip, from Universal Studios to Hollywood and Highland, to the various movie Studios that we went to visit, etc. We were only gonna stay two days, but as our plans changed, we just decided to stay, as we really liked the place. Can’t say that about too many hotels I’ve been to recently.

Worth the stay for sure if you’re coming to Los Angeles and don’t want to stay in a standard corporate hotel.

Great hotel and will gladly stay here again as first choice if in the area. Loved the decor and convenient to have a diner right next door. Friendly staff with quick check in and out. They had a valet which was nice for those who had cars and a place to wait for those who used uber/taxi's. The room itself was quite big and the bathroom was extremely spacious. Beds were comfy and while the heater made some noise we didn't need to keep it on long as the room held the temperature well. It is near the street so those with noise sensitivities may be slightly bothered. The only minor slight inconvenience was the tv wasn't on an adjustable hinge so a little difficult to see from the far side of the room especially with the blinds open but like it was a large flat screen with plenty of channels to watch. Would definitely recommend if you're staying in LA.

Nice pool but not always heated. You will need to visit the main floor and ask for towels everytime you swim or shower. No cleaning services unless asked and can only be done once per 4 day stay. Staff very proffessional. Fairly clean hotel. No bugs noted. Carpets in room not the cleanest and did find dark curly hair throughout unit. Does have laundry but only one washer and dryer. Walkable to walk of fame and dining. High traffic area makes it difficult for ubers and noise at night. Air conditioning nice. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner as the hotels is really bad. Very nice hotel for the price overall.

Pros : Large rooms , comfy beds, great location , diner on site is sensational

Cons : stuffy smell in rooms , shower pressure

Most reception staff seems unskilled and unwilling to help ( enquired about late check out willing to pay but “ we don’t do that” , then enquired about paying for the extra night but told to book online myself … as a hotel manager myself , this is insane to tell customer to book through a third party website whom you ll have to give 20%+ commission
