Hollywood Hotel

Hollywood Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Literally only needed a room to rest in the night before my son’s surgery and this hotel was perfect. The gated parking area was nice, the hotel was literally 5 mins walking from a shopping center (we ate at waba grill and it was delicious). I was surprised at how quiet it was, we were in the second floor facing the courtyard and I never heard anyone above me or outside of our room. The hotel staff was very nice and personable. The bed and pillows was surprisingly comfortable ( go figure, the one time I remember to bring my own pillow I don’t need it.) the rooms have a microwave and mini fridge, they also have a gift shop and vending machines (and a bistro below). The only thing most people might complain about as lack of coffee machine in the room; normally this might be an issue for my husband who drinks coffee but since my son had to fast we decided to also fast so the coffee wasn’t missed. If we had to go to LA again, this would be somewhere we’d come back to stay."
