Hollywood Best Inn

I was surprised by the hotel. For the price it was in great condition, very clean and the staff was very helpful despite some reviews to the contrary. True it's not in the best are of hollywood but it is very centrally located and for some reason this block of hollywood has always been a bit sketchy. But the hotel itself is very clean and comfortable. parking is limited but there is ample street parking. It is a two story hotel/motel type so if good night sleep is absolutely mandatory you must stay on the upper level. The guest above me were up very late.

The overall experience was nice, i love the proximity to the Hollywood Blvd Strip. Its perfect for a quick get away and party in Hollywood.

The time we entered room had strong smell of chemicals that didn't come out even after 2 days. Refrigerator didn't work and personnel was not able to fix it, just keep telling it is brand new and should work. The bathroom had no hangers/hooks, water in toilet was running all the time.

We were there for 2 nights. The staff were very helpful in providing guidance, and giving us ideas on what to do. There are a couple of tiny balcony spots on the second floor which are great for an evening smoke :)

Nice, clean and happy. Right in the center. Easy access to sunset. Limited parking but i was able to grab one. Food joints nearby. Few night clubs nearby. Great stay

I reversed room through expedia, and my family has 2 kids, 10 and 12 years old. When I reserve, nobody told me kids over 10 will be counted as adult and charge $10 each. and I never met another hotel charges me that. This is the only one. The breakfast it provides is so little. every time the donut box is empty. and at 8:40am, i was told no more breakfast.

This hotel works because it is cheap and in a good location if you are going out on Sunset or to the Arclight. The front desk clerk was rude and and did not care much about your experience. At one point when I was asking if the vending machine needed change he said that he did not know how to use it. I eventually found the machine and ascertained this on my own. Again, cheap, clean, and centrally located so can't lose in a pinch if t is just s clean place to stay for the night to avoid driving home after going out!

Considering that days before, I was staying at a five-star hotel in D.C., it's kinda hard to rate this place subjectively but here goes: It's definitely a plus as it's very convenient to the hub of Hollywood--within walking distance of Metro stations, the Hollywood & Highland complex, restaurants, Arclight Cinemas, clubs, etc. The hotel itself is okay, as it can definitely use a bit of a facelift since there are only less than 30 rooms to the property. It's also close to a 7-11, so getting your morning coffee is a breeze. There's a CVS a half-block away, along with a Subway and a great little market across the street. Overall, this is a decent motel stay is one wishes to be close to all the action in the Hollywood area.

The general description indicates a continental breakfast, although the hotel clarifies this in their description: it is donuts and coffee, so don't book expecting more. There was a good variety of donuts, though! Rooms were clean, bed comfortable, lot of hot water. Definitely one of the best budget places we've stayed at, and the proximity to Hollywood Boulevard and Universal Studios is great. One and only suggestion: more of the larger towels. We'd stay here again! :)

Overall it was a nice stay. You get the basics, what you pay for. Don't expect a 5 star hotel with a minibar and room service, and you will be more than satisfied.
