Better than expected, would stay again
Pros:

Room was nice and clean. Comfy bed. The location is safe to walk around and lots of food in walking distance. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The pool wasn't heated but the pool area is a very nice spot to chill, eat, read, etc. I was here for a class and I would definitely stay here again if I came back for more classes.

Limited services resulted in the hotel offering a room and breakfast, period.
Pros:

Good breakfast, passable room.

Cons:

The hotel advertised that it housed a good restaurant and bar on its website, but these have been closed for months!

You pay your money you take your pick
Pros:

The problem with a hotel like this is - how can it be rated 5 and also 1 like this review? Well I suppose some reviews are subjective, for example if you like a pool then this hotel has one which gets good reviews but many travellers are tourists and want to see LA, using a hotel as a place to sleep. So, from our perspective the things that are important to us are - location and bedroom - and this is were the hotel fails somewhat. It can't do anything about where it is but by choice this is not a place to be if the neighbourhood is important to you. It claims to have city view rooms, that is stretching the imagination. There are many homeless people congregating nearby which sometimes feels threatening, particularly when they approach you; there is nothing nearby (walkable) worth visiting; the buildings opposite are derelict. This is an hispanic area and the shops and food outlets largely reflect the population - this in itself is only a problem if you are 'self catering'. A nearby supermarket sells Nescafe at just short of $20! The one upside is it is a short walking distance from the metro station. So in conlusion regarding location - it is in a 'seedy' area so go there with your eyes open and expectations low.

The bedroom was in very poor condition - drab is a good description. Wallpaper pealing off the wall, bathdroom door chipped and shabby, over bath shower with curtain is grim by today's standards and there was hair on the bathroom floor. We did not feel safe at all, in fact my wife didn't sleep all night. We stayed 1 night, not 3 as booked. We were so disappointed we found another hotel (see my review for Nites Inn) and it speaks volumes that we were so unhappy we paid $300 to stay somewhere else! Take your pick - go to this hotel and beware or, as we did, find somewhere else.

Lovely Staff
Pros:

The lush courtyard gives a traditional feel to this lovely hotel. I personally enjoyed the dry sauna as well as the friendly staff, notably Michael at the front desk who gave me tips on local cuisine and site-seeing. I look forward to staying here on my next visit!

Quick check in by Yajaira
Pros:

We were given early check in day of and graciously helped by Yajaira at the front. The check in process was seamless/quick and our room is more than we could have imagined! So excited for our stay.

Hollywood Hotel is a DIVE
Pros:

Stay at the Hotel Hollywood not the Hollywood Hotel, the value difference is extraordinary. I was really disappointed staying at the Hollywood Hotel. The guy at night with the beard at the front desk wasn't freindly and I even went up to ask a question and he told me he wasn't really busy before I even got up to the desk? This place is way over priced charging more than thre Blitmore Hotel that is 4 stars. I paid $300 per night here with total fees, it was rediculous as this place is worth about $200 per night or less. That's what I was charged at the HOTEL HOLLYWOOD, stay there and it's located in WEST HOLLYWOOD, not EAST HOLLYWOOD. Some of the things I did like. I liked the culture in the area and there is a street taco vendor on Vermont Ave that was fantastic, but it wasn't WEST HOLLYWOOD. My room wasn't that clean and needs painting. The railing outside the room on the deck, needs painting. There is no special reason to stay at the Hollywood Hotel and once the again based on the prices, it's really a rip off. Do you reserach and be sure not to get confused like I did, these people are imposters. This was the worse place I have ever stayed in LA or Hollywood, I will never come back.

Galentines Weekend
Pros:

Galentines Weekend in Los Angeles.💕 We had a great deal on a weekend stay at the very chic Hollywood Hotel. Nelson on reservations took care us from getting us a deal on a room to also best recommendations where to have dinner. Cozy room overlooking their fab lit up courtyard. Restful night💤. Next morning delish breakfast from avocado toast to lattes☕️! Even after check out lounging at the pool 🕶️. Very well recommended.

Dirty, uncomfortable, damaged, and over priced. So bad I took my business elsewhere for the night.
Pros:

Room was full of rotting wood, dirty floors, broken/cracked fixtures, mold in the bathroom walls, chipped/damaged paint, and extremely uncomfortable beds that you can’t sleep on. So bad I left the hotel and took my business elsewhere. Don’t recommend staying.

Best hotel, fabulous stay!
Pros:

We just loved our stay at the Hollywood hotel, from the moment we arrived before our checkin time, we were welcomed & made to feel valued. I have to say from the initial check-in until we left, all the staff we met treated us so well, friendly, smiley very welcoming.
We asked questions about local attractions & were given great advice, directions & pointed in the right direction, making our stay really easy & we used the Metro many times after our first trip out, thanks to good advice.
Our room was beautiful, spotless clean & had lots of extras we appreciated, iron & board, bath robes, wine & champagne glasses, mugs, fridge, microwave, safe & many toiletries.
The location was perfect & so close to the Metro. We enjoyed sitting by the outdoor pool area, which was very relaxing with lovely palm trees & shrubs.
The breakfast room was spacious with friendly staff & speedy service, we used this each day of our stay.
On our last day we found a little shop just before going out to the pool & the prices for snacks were great value, we wish we'd found it sooner, the man serving us was super friendly too.
We would stay again without a second thought as I couldn't imagine another hotel beating this one on customer service, location & amazing staff, great job & we can't to stay again one day!
