Pros:

Everyone was lovely and very helpful. The room was so cute and the pillows were extremely comfy. I added on another night, that’s how nice I thought it was

Cons:

A tiny bit noisy at night. I had a room facing the parking lot

Great stay at the HHH!
Pros:

This is a well maintained historic hotel from the 1920s. Guests can expect to be transported back 100 years when things were simpler yet efficient. The adjoining Edmon bar and eatery has great atmosphere and service with powerful special cocktails. Try the meatballs and calamari. Service from staff was top notch from top to bottom. Parking was convenient and trouble-free. Close to other restaurants and the Paramount studios. The bakery next door serves delicious pastries and punchy espresso. Will visit Hollywood again and stay at the HHH!

Go back in time to Old Hollywood and relive the glitz and glamour
Pros:

Really beautiful art deco features throughout the property, close to public transport to landmarks, super comfy bed and friendly staff

Cons:

The price is not worth the headache.
Cons:

Immediately checked out of as soon as I inspected the bed. Something I always do before I want to lay down or even sit on it. I asked for a refund and they didn’t give me one. Made up LIES saying I caused the stains on the bed and I was in there for an hour. Which I wasn’t. Did I eat some of the food I came in the room with? Yes WHILE STANDING UP because where I come from we don’t eat on the bed. Room was full of stained sheets, bed bug imprint, and pillow cases with holes in them. It’s not worth it. I shouldn’t spent my money somewhere else.
