I typically don’t submit reviews when I find a “hidden treasure”, but this Hotel deserves a beyond 10+ submission.

I spend 90% of my time in Los Angeles, and am very familiar with Hotels. Until Saturday Night when I made a booking “The Onyx” location, description, and price was worth a try.

The Property, Staff, Rooms, and Price are all absolutely fantastic. Whether you’re a local or coming to Hollywood as a tourist; I would without hesitation recommend this Property as the Place to Stay.

Breakfast was toast or a pastry in a bag. There was coddle or orange juice so do not be fooled by the pictures. There was not a single plug in at the dining area for my laptop. Drink vending machine didnt work. Access to the railway is only 2 blocks away, Thai food is everywhere, and there is a target across the street. I would stay again at this no frills cheap hotel

Our check in was not pleasant, the staff was not friendly at all even if I want to ask about the hotel , parking,, and why the deposit is too high he just answered me , have a nice day.
The free breakfast was the most budgeted we ever had, just sliced bread , butter and coffee. It is not a quiet setting because it’s a main road with emergency vehicles on siren and loud engine pipes , some homeless people by the entrance.
The room was clean, newly renovated, the bathroom is user friendly.
Linens and bedsheets were clean,
Not a smart TV.
AC window unit is quiet

Weekend stay at Super 8 Hollywood was disappointing. Bad neighborhood feel, cramped narrow parking, unfriendly front desk behind glass, elevator with broken tiles, and an accessible room with a wobbly bed, hole in the bedspread, and chipped furniture. Plus the hotel charged an extra $200 to my card instead of a hold, and after checkout staff said the refund would take 10 plus days. Booked through Expedia for convenience, left wishing we had chosen elsewhere.

The room was roomy and large, bed was huge, amenities was great. The main problem was the noise from outside after hours. All night long, all you hear is ambulances, cop cars, cars driving by, and the room above you constantly walking and moving something. If you're not a heavy sleeper, you will not sleep at all; it's too noisy. Other than that, it was cool.

The room was fine, no signs of bedbugs and such. Bathroom looked better than I expected for this type of hotel/motel. The staff weren’t as helpful or approachable as we expected hotel staff would be. Parking lot is a little small but bearable. It being free is a plus, compared to some that would charge extra for parking. They offer free continental breakfast which includes drinks (coffee, orange juice, and what looked like iced tea), toast and pre-packed pastry. Not bad - better than nothing, but most continental breakfast will include a little more options than that. It is located next to Walgreens and across the street from Target and Game Stop. There’s food trucks opened at night across the street at the parking lot. There’s also lots of food and dining options. It’s a short drive to Koreatown and only 2 short blocks from Thai Town. Driving along N. Western St close to the hotel will give you a view of the Hollywood sign but it’s not visible when at the motel since buildings in the area blocks the view.

The breakfast was extremely simple not much to choose from. There is a night club under the hotel so it was loud till about 3am with people yelling and talking and music blasting but overall had a good experience. The parking lot looks sketchy but my car was safe no one messed with it. I’m not sure if I would stay again only due to the nightclub.

The parking is located right outside the hotel & as for safety measures Hotel offers a keycard which not only works to unlock room but also to use elevator. Moreover the complimentary breakfast was extremely bland only having coffee, jam packets, & toast with what seemed to be apple and orange juice since nothing was labeled. Overall room was clean, lighting inside was very dim, restroom well organized offered a lot of towels, daily cleaning. View from window was also bland occasional loud nice from traffic. Around the hotel there is a Target which is about a five minute walk which was very convenient, a lot of bakeries & local street vendors as well. Overall would return. 6.5/10
