Hollywood VIP Hotel

I loved the location of this property. If you leave out the back door of the hotel and turn towards the right Ovation Hollywood and the Hollywood attractions are right there in walking distance. To make a long story short….. The property is dirty and have roaches, ….I seen a total of ten in my room during my stay. Bring your own sheets (I always do) They had a navy blue and dingy white one Your room will not get cleaned unless you ask…. it seems like that’s a problem. My floor looked clean but my clean feet after my shower said otherwise. Amenities are broken….. Ice machines….ATM… no breakfast

This hotel really needs a lot of work. First of, the windows weren’t exactly hotel like. No screens at all, and the hotel windows barely closed. Next off, my bed was falling apart. While comfortable enough to sleep on, the blankets weren’t really hotel quality, while the top of the bed frame was falling apart. The curtains also seemed to be falling apart. The soap and shampoo options were bare minimum to say the least. I was very unsatisfied with receiving only a few bars of soap in a shower that needing refurbishing from the shower head to the door. Shampoo was exceptionally difficult to use for a hotel. While the room was air conditioned, there wasn’t much of a spot for the machine near the bed. I felt a little uncomfortable while sleeping nowhere near the air conditioning unit in a hotel room that was becoming pretty run down. There is also almost no parking anywhere near the hotel. So I had to park a few blocks offsite, where because of my lack of awareness on Los Angeles driving and parking regulations, I received a parking ticket. The next day, after my project was done filming, I had to pay an extra $25 at a local garage a half a mile away just to find ANYWHERE to park my rental car overnight. Not worth your time, find somewhere else.

The property itself is a cool idea with unique interior and a unique vibe but overall it was terribly hot, the AC in the room was horrible, there were no screens on the windows, the paint in the bathroom is literally chipping. The ice machine didn’t work. And you can hear every single noise

The AC in one of the rooms turned on, but then you have to turn it off because it freezes and they need to replace the AC and then the sink is clogged so I couldn’t even use the sink and then a towel had multiple yellow stains all over it. It was disgusting.

Cute kitchy motel in a fantastic location.. Staff was great! Pet friendly. Try for a room away from the noisy back door

Good

Exceptional

it was ok no water

no hangers in room had to request and only got 2 after request no small bath towels in room. I ask for cups for my wife and I was given only one cup. can you believe that what more need be said.

Deposit refund ridiculously long to return No refrigerator

The air conditioning was nice but loud. For breakfast the first day was milk and cereal and the second day was nothing at all. Staff was nice and the location was easy to walk to the walk of fame.

Good

Perfect location for my trip. A/C unit was loud but worked to keep room cool when it was very hot 95F outside. The breakfast was very, very minimal: "breakfast" was plain slices of generic sliced white bread with an electric toaster (no spreads like butter or jelly given), a container of common sugary cereal, a pitcher of cow's milk (unknown type, probably 2% milk) to pour into the cereal, a pitcher of hot water, and a single type of black tea bag; on Monday, there was not bread, just cereal. Cockroaches in 2 rooms, entire hotel should be tent fumigated, the City officials should feel ashamed of this hotel. Returned to room after midnight, found numerous small and large cockroaches at sink. Informed front desk that I must move to a new room, staff insisted they must take a photo or could not believe me. Returned to room, front desk staff person initially DENIED seeing any cockroaches until it was blatantly obvious. Staff said, "We have been spraying but manager requires a photo, otherwise I can't move you." Staff said there were only two other open rooms which I could move to. So then we looked at a different room to move to, opened the bathroom of that room and found a dozen midsize cockroaches in the 2nd room too. Went to a third room, did not see cockroaches there, so I moved all my belongings after midnight to the 3rd room. Obviously the cockroaches are in the walls, and coming in through areas around the sink/shower pipes, and the hotel has been covering this up by putting sealant into any crevices, to prevent them coming in, but this is not a proper solution. Overall the hotel is 2-star at most, with the cockroaches, it is 1-star. The advertised Parking for extra $$$ per day is monitored by video camera but not secured by gate, open to a sketchy alley, so I did not feel secure parking there. Window of hotel should have screens, there is no screen, only metal bars which are bent out of shape as if someone previously tried to break in. Door of room does not have secondary lock or locking chain so does not feel secure. Given the cockroach problem, does anyone dare eat the "breakfast"? Given the cockroach problem which will lead to the hotel simply spraying common poison in some of the rooms, does anyone dare sleep in the poison-sprayed room?

We picked the hotel because it said it had breakfast. They literally only put out sliced white bread. No jelly or butter, just bread. We were there a week and on a couple occasions there was also a sugary child's cereal but that's it. Do not assume there is a breakfast. Also, wifi doesn't go over 1mbps so don't rely on their wifi for anything. One morning employee had good hospitality and service but outside of him, don't expect anyone to help you.

The property was a sketchy place to begin with ,lower class part of la

Once you arrive, you have to wait for someone to unlock the door and let you in. The parking area is located where I would not feel comfortable leaving my car overnight, yet they still charge $30 per day for parking. The parking situation along with the front desk manger made me decide not to check in, but unfortunately I still had to pay for the stay. I also would not consider this a place family friendly nor would I let the kids walk around the neighborhood by themselves.

Parking is not free, it has an additional cost

The quaint little place. The parking

The parking

First, know this: there is no Continental breakfast. It's literally why we chose the place. They put out only sliced white bread the first morning. No butter, no jelly. Some mornings they had a sugary child's cereal and no bread and sometimes a mix. We were there 9 nights and paid $1.5k and not once was the internet consistent. When tested it never got up to 1 MB/s and that's if it connected at all. I brought it up on 6 occasions and was spoken down to and patronized. When we asked for room service they made the bed but same sheets (we know because the same cigarette burn hole was in the same sheet in the same place). I was accused of not paying for parking when I flew in and took an Uber and when I explained this, the woman flat out didn't believe me and acted like I lied. The manager, whoever he is, clearly needs therapy. The employees are so limited in what they can help with. It's a toxic work environment that bleeds out and is unprofessional. We never once met this "man behind the curtain", but as someone who has spent a lifetime working in events and hospitality, he needs a different profession. We are currently getting better service at a motel at half the cost. New management is necessary for this place to succeed.
