The breakfast menu was delicious. A great variety. Loved the condition of the fruit. The staff were amazing. The valet was polite and very helpful. Check in was easy. And the breakfast staff went above and beyond to help with my grandkids. The room was very clean and beds were comfortable very quiet and AC worked great.

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.

The A/C in our room seemed it was on full blast no lower control or auto where it turns off and on.

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.

Location was good, but when activities were happening at the Bowl, the traffic was terrible; hard for UBER to get to the hotel. Only one elevator was working the entire time we were there. A bit noisy, even with room towards the back of the property. Immediate surrounding areas not attractive.

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.

Driving in to check in, space is very tight, not safe to unload luggage there when there is only space for two cars to park to check in and unload luggage especially when you have little kids. Check-in area is very small. Valet parking is a pro. Hotel room was a suite and it was spacious. Not sure if I would return. Did not seem safe to walk around the hotel.

We stayed 4 nights and paid an extra $300 in \"hotel service fee\" and mandatory vallet parking fees.
Our room smelt like mold an pee. There is no airflow in there. You have to turn the ac on, but then it smells worse. Or, you have to open the window and listen to thousands of cars and motorcycles, with honking every 7 seconds. The continental breakfast was the lowest grade.

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.
