Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, CA

Nice hotel, provides all that is needed for guest. Breakfast which is above a standard continental breakfast. Small gym but suitable for several guest. Pool is very well kept tho to cold to swim in during the winter. Rooms are quite spacious, specially for a solo traveler. Cleaning ladies are very nice and polite. Free Starbucks coffee which was a pleasant surprise. Staff is friendly and helpful. Pil went above the call of duty for me, so big thanks Pil. Very surprised with my stay with affordable prices. Kindly recommended to all.

First let me tell you that I am not very picky about hotels when they have reasonable rates, and this hotel does have very reasonable rates. However, our experience there was mediocre, at best. When we checked in, I had to sign documents promising that we would follow the rules. They took a $100 deposit even though it was a regular credit card. We had to pay almost $30 a night to park the car. Everything was very persnickety. The hotel is not in a nice area. The subway is a block away, but there are homeless people living in tents on the sidewalk going to the subway. The subway itself scared me. We are from NY and often ride the subway without issue, but it is very clear that no one is patrolling these stations. After that ride, we drove or took an Uber everywhere. When we asked at the front desk if the neighborhood was safe, we got a response as if he was insulted. We decided to venture out and that's when we ran into the tents, garbage strewn all over the sidewalk, and people being very aggressive outside the subway entrance. The room was big and had a lovely view of the courtyard, which was very pretty. It is old though. The floor is linoleum or something like that. The TV was not quite in front of the bed, but off to the side. Although housekeeping did make up the bed and empty the garbage, they did not clean out the ice bucket and put it back. The shower was fantastic. The water pressure was great. As far as the breakfast goes, the reviews on here make me laugh. It looked incredible, but looks can be deceiving. There is an omelette bar and a chef there. He was not friendly at all. The rest of the food was ridiculous. The bacon was sliced so thin, you could see through it. I don't know how they accomplished that. They had tater tots for hashbrowns. They had store bought bagels, the kind from a package and a basket of bread to make toast. They had coldcuts (???) and cereal. The orange juice tasted like water with an orange essence. Plus, the chef would make waffles upon request. I mean, it was free, and food is food, but the breakfast at the La Quinta or Comfort Inn. All in all, it was okay, but if I return to the area, I will choose a place in a safer, walkable neighborhood that is newer.

Hugo is an outstanding 5 star chef! Excellent customer service. Hugo welcomes each customer in their native language (French,Spanish, English, Chinese, Japanese). Dining space is large and clean with large selection of excellent breakfast choices.

Big compliments to all the staff at the hotel. As a solo traveler safety is on top of my list. From the beginning Pil made me feel safe and welcomed. The atmosphere is very upbeat. The staff is always smiling and friendly. The breakfast staff also add to the over all friendliness of the hotel. Happy to have met many other solo travelers. Very highly recommended to adventurous people.

Very clean hotel despite the many bad reviews. The hotel is a bit dated. But you can see where they have made renovations and continue. I had a wonderful view of the city of Los Angeles from my balcony. The accommodation and request fulfillment by the front desk is incredible. Special thanks to Pil for his warm smile. He truly is very kind and receptive to guest needs. A must stay if you are in town. Won’t hesitate to stay again.
