The hotel is in an excellent location. At first, I didn't like the idea of paying for valet parking, but in reality, it made our trip a lot easier! The parking process was super convenient. The hotel itself is very quaint and fun. It does need some carpet update, though, which is keeping the musty smell in. One other issue was that people didn't quite abide by the smoking area rules, and for some reason, there were lots of smokers when we visited. We didn't get to use the amenities, sadly, but the pool looked nice and clean! We also didn't get to try the diner, as our schedule kept us out at the times it was open. The menu didn't seem to have a lot of options, but since we didn't get to visit it, I can't say anything about the place, only that it looked nostalgic.
The staff was super nice and helpful (and patient with all the questions and requests). Overall, the hotel had exceeded most of our expectations, and we would stay here again when we need to be in LA, especially for an extended stay like the last one.

Hotel was nice and in a convenient location, Pool was clean and facilities were well maintained. There was not an option to self park your vehicle only valet parking available at a cost for parking. This was the only inconvenience as it made it a little difficult to come and go. However, they were readily available.

This is a wonderful property, aesthetic is mid-century modern; 50s/60s hollywood. I am from Palm Springs so this was like bringing home with me as it is what I see all the time. Hotels.com has some of the pics incorrect so I suggest going online and looking up The Hollywood Franklin, there has been a few name changes at this property. The pool was nice, Clark Street Diner is downstairs and has a perfect morning breakfacst in a 60s or 70s Diner setting. The staff was great, check in was a breeze. No sure why the valet is mandatory but it's included so no big deal, just a little bit of a wait if there's only one person. Everyone so nice and accommodating. The shower head was leaking but not horrible, looks more like someone was too forceful with it. This bed was comfortable but will need a new pillow top soon. Carpet was clean, decor was georgeous.

The rooms were clean, I liked the retro look of the whole place. You have to have your car parked via valet, which is fine, because you know it will be safe. Valet attendants were very friendly and fast. Room was not ready at check in. Once we did get our keys, they handed the keys and that was it. No info on where the room was, nothing on WiFi, nothing. Just here’s the keys, thank you.
There is a very cute on-site retro restaurant/cafe which was nice. The service there was great.

They show you one room in photo and then put you in another smaller room (even though you paid for a bigger room). Desk clerk says all the rooms are different and don't necessarily correspond with photos. I showed description and photos of room booked online, and how it doesn't match the reality of the tiny room we got. He said there was nothing he could do, it was a management decision out of his control and the hotel was fully booked. The old bait-and-switch scheme. Beware.

Good place to stay. Room was clean and comfortable. A lot of road noise, sirens, etc.

The pool is right in the middle of all the rooms so we didn’t use it as I felt it would bother some guests.

Also, be aware if your booking from a value website…they don’t mention the mandatory valet parking situation. Cost us an extra $40. Likely would have picked a different hotel if that had been worked into the price.

A fun and pleasant hotel designed with a Hollywood theme. Room was colorfully furbished. Only a few minutes' walk to Amoeba Music, Pantages Theater, TCL Chinese Theater, etc. In other words, very convenient. There's a cute swimming pool in the courtyard. Parking is via valet only.

My husband and I stayed at the Franklin Hotel to celebrate his 30th birthday, and we absolutely loved the vibe of this hotel. If you’re a movie lover, this place is a dream — every wall is covered with autographed photos and incredible memorabilia that make the hotel feel unique and full of character.

Our room was extremely spacious, and we were pleasantly surprised to find both a refrigerator and microwave. We also loved the in-room radio and had a great time listening to 104.3 FM while getting ready each night.

The view was spectacular. We paid extra for a room with a view of the Hollywood sign, and it was completely worth it. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the pillows were honestly some of the best we’ve ever experienced at a hotel. The only downside was that the water pressure could have been better.

Each morning, we started our day with coffee from Clark Cafe, conveniently attached to the hotel, and we also enjoyed drinks at the bar in the evenings. We tried the French 75 and the Lost World — both were delicious, but the Lost World with two cherries was my favorite!

Overall, we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this hotel. And if you visit, don’t forget to take photos in the iconic stairwell filled with autographed photos — it makes for the perfect Hollywood-style photo shoot!

The room was VERY loud to the outside traffic but the AC was louder so that helped drown out the noise. Also, though the room overall was clean, the carpet was old and fraying and there was a bad odor the entire stay. It was ok for our stay and close enough to what we wanted it for but I’m not sure we would stay again.

Our recent stay was unpleasant to say the least. Upon checking in, the man at the counter was unfriendly. The room had an odor, the furniture had not been cleaned well and the wifi didn't work the entire time. Upon notifying staff that the wifi wasn't working, we were told \"sorry, we've never had a problem with that room before\". Reviews for this hotel were mixed. Save your money, and stay somewhere else.

The room was very big and located in a motel style. We thought the swimming pool was on the room too but instead it is in the centre of the lower ground floor with people able to look at from the balcony’s.
The room came with coffee and tea facility and the diner next door was amazing for food - we were more impressed with the diner than the hotel! The staff were friendly but struggled to understand the process with the parking and valet, but it was simple after we worked out. The parking is reasonably priced and had no issues and is available 24/7!
The location is close walking distance to the Hollywood boulevard for the stars, but please note that Beggers and homeless is in the masses in the area and we did feel a little scared at some point with people following us.
Driving to Santa Monica, down Rodeo drive and up to the observatory was amazing! We saw the sunrise and sun set.

We loved the historic locations vicinity which was close too the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We were able to walk everywhere that we wanted to go. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We loved the memorabilia on the walls all over the hotel. So much history in one location. It is what I will consider a boutique hotel. It is not a new facility so if you’re looking for that, maybe it’s not for you, but personally, I really liked looking at all of the history of the building and the memorabilia contained within.

3/5 stars fine for a night, skip for a vacation

The design liens, heavily themed and over decorated – the kind of aesthetic that felt bold at opening, but has an aid gracefully. Most surfaces show visible where which compounds the dated field.
My book room advertised the Mountain View, which turned out to be a partial glimpse past the road and freeway – heavy traffic noise included. To their credit, the staff were genuinely helpful and move me to a pool facing room, which was a real improvement.
The AC unit was loud and sound sounded like it needed servicing. That said, the bed was surprisingly comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and functional – exactly what you need after a long day.
Bottom line: perfectly acceptable for a single night when you just need to place a land. But I wouldn't build a vacation around it.

The hotel is just ok, the room is spacious, bathroom ok and fairly clean but the hotel itself smells of grease ( i assume from the restaurant) but the smell radiates into the rooms. They could do with strong air fresheners. The shower is big with good amenities but the bed sheets are awful and just get all tangled up, a proper duvet cover should be used it’s just lazy and makes the sleep unpleasant. The air conditioner sounds like a plane taking off, so you have to keep turning on and off to keep ok temp. Overall it’s ok, but wouldn’t return.
