From the moment we arrived until checkout, the experience was exceptional. We chose this hotel while attending an event at the Hollywood Bowl, and it exceeded expectations at every turn.

As frequent guests of luxury brands such as Ritz-Carlton, we have high standards for hospitality. While this property is not a Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons, it delivered something equally important: outstanding service, genuine hospitality, and meticulous attention to detail.

The hotel was impeccably clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet despite its location on bustling Highland Avenue. In fact, throughout most of our stay, we rarely encountered other guests, creating an atmosphere that felt private and relaxing. It wasn't until breakfast that we realized how many people were actually staying at the hotel.

The complimentary breakfast and accompanying service were exceptional, rivaling offerings found at far more expensive properties. Every staff member we encountered was warm, professional, and eager to help.

The secret may be getting out, but this hotel is a true gem. For travelers seeking comfort, outstanding service, and remarkable value in the heart of Hollywood, this property is an easy recommendation.

This clean and well-maintained room was a delight. The staff was incredibly helpful, and room service was readily available upon request. It’s an excellent choice for families with kids, offering a continental breakfast with a rotating menu every day. The kids absolutely loved it. The hotel is conveniently located near Universal Studios, the Hollywood Sign, the Walk of Fame, and other popular destinations. Plus, there are Waymo cars available right at the doorstep. Ovation Mall is also within walking distance.

If you plan to use the pool be prepared for an ice cold experience as it’s not heated. Want your room cleaned? To them that means taking out the garbage and providing clean towels but they do NOT Make the beds. The staff that work in the breakfast area are amazing.

Breakfast was amazing, room was nice and clean but it was impossible to shower without getting water all over the bathroom floor due to the design of the shower curtain. The room was without a microwave which was unexpected. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The parking was expensive but that's normal for LA.

Ideal spot if you're attending a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. It's a quick and easy walk. Hotel itself is fine, nothing special. Avoid a room on the 4th floor if possible. That's where the pool and breakfast are located and it's noisy if you want to sleep in.

The included breakfast was worth the stay itself. Helpful staff, lots of food options, clean room…so great!

The location of this hotel is within walking distance to the Walk of Fame, etc. Traffic is loud, but didn’t disrupt our stay since the building is built up (most everything is on the fourth floor). The pool is cute but was absolutely freezing, so we couldn’t really swim.

All in all, this place was convenient, felt safe and clean, and fed our hungry breakfast lovers.

Everything good. But things that can be improved.
1) provide complimentary water bottles.
2) destination fee was a surprise
3) no bell boy service
4) parking is super expensive. $50 per day
5) swimming pool was very cold. I understand it is winter time, but they could have heated the pool.

The breakfast service staff were very good & caring.

Two out of three staff members we interacted with were lovely; the third was not friendly at all, and made me feel like I was a nuisance just for being there. The hotel is in a convenient location, but the area around it is pretty sketchy and we didn’t feel super safe here. However, the room was clean and we got what we needed out of our stay. Early bag check was super helpful with the plans we had that day that started before check in.

Parking charge not included in stay

The reason I’m giving it a lower score is because they don’t tell you about parking they charge you a $45 dollar fee on top of the room per night for valet they should disclose there is no parking and you have to pay for valet

Lots of pros and cons, but overall a good experience.

Staff was wonderful! All very friendly and willing to answer questions/help anyway needed. Breakfast bar ladies were exceptional and sweet.

Good breakfast with lots of variety.

Rooms were super clean and well maintained. Air conditioning was awesome. Sheets were slippery though and noisy when you moved around at night. Beds were a little soft but overall the rooms were nice.

The pool was freezing cold to the point we couldn’t use it, and the light never really hit it because of the height of the buildings around it. There was no hot tub.

If you’re in rooms 6+ you have to take two elevators, which isn’t a problem unless you need to go to the lobby to pick up food deliveries. Then it’s a bit of a hike.

The location is close to the Walk of Fame, but you don’t want to walk it. The area didn’t feel as safe as other places we have stayed in the neighbourhood. It’s also on a super busy street and most Lyft/Uber drivers have trouble with navigating the turn into the driveway. There are no convenience stores close by if you need supplies.

We stayed at Holiday Inn Express in Los Angeles. After a long day at Universal Studios we arrived at the hotel, check in was fast but we were not happy about the 45.00 parking fee. (Should be free if staying at hotel in our opinion). Room was ok but smelled musty. We were placed in a disability room even though we didn't ask to be. The shower was big but the water got all over the floor which is unsafe. The breakfast was great.

The hotel was good, nice rooms, good breakfast. However we didn’t like $40 parking fee and additional $40 “residency” fee (not sure what was the exact name of that fee, but it was additional fee on top of room cost).
The hotel is steps from alley of stars, the Dolby theatre and the Chinese theatre; however the area was super sketchy with tons of homeless people all around.
We do not recommend to stay in that area of LA.

The best part of our stay were the two breakfast Attendants Veronica and Maryella. I do not recommend a family suite for more than 4 or 5 people. They say its for 6 but its very difficult. We called because our shower and sink wouldnt drain and they said ok theyll fix it after we check out. Asked them to fix it so we werent having to stand in water while showering, they said no. Couldnt unclog the sink drain and it hardly went down. They refused to change rooms as \"they are fully booked\". Their \"Optional Extra Fee\" for valet parking is not optional, its required not optional if you drive a car. That was an additinal $200+ for our 4 night stay that was unexpected. The front desk staff were very rude upon checking in. Our room was set up for enough towels for 3 people, when calling to request more towels and washclothes. They made us walk down to the front desk to request the towels. Will never stay at this facility again just based on the staff and their lack luster hospitality.

The hotel was good. It was clean enough - it is an older hotel so I didn't expect it to be immaculate. The staff was very nice and helpful.

The bad part was that the entrance/exit was on a very busy street so it was hard getting out of the parking garage every morning. The hotel was definitely close to everything though. If we didn't have small children, we would've taken advantage of the proximity to Hollywood Blvd. If you're able to get reservations at the Magic Castle, that is also walking distance.

Breakfast was included. It wasn't 5-star but it was definitely good enough to eat every day especially for small kids.

Overall, our stay was nice. We would book again.
