“An oldie but a goodie”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I've been staying here off and on since 1991. It is basically the same hotel, the rooms are a good size, the staff are always super friendly (same staff several years running) and the beds are comfortable. Yes it could do with a make over but it's ok.

The biggest thing I like about the coral sands is I feel safe in Los Angeles here as to get to the room you have to be buzzed in by the staff and the hotel is not open to the street. Free off street parking and free wifi is always a good thing too.

It's reasonably priced, handy to tourist spots and good food (Thai town 5 minute walk) close to the Hollywood freeway too.

You don't get breakfast but there is a supermarket next door that does enough things for a fresh breakfast every morning.

Do your research read reviews here for other places nearby and you may end up here, I certainly will stay here again.

Room Tip: AwY from the spa pump is good, and down the back you have less people walking and talking past your...

“Just right for a Hollywood stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights pre-cruise in December, we wanted something central to the sights that wouldn't break the budget.
Whilst it was not a flashy hotel, it was the cleanest place I have ever stayed - all of the room was clean, every corner, lamp, the pipes behind the sink etc. someone cleaned the parking lot every morning - removing every last cigarette butt, our room (101) was on the ground floor quite near the entrance so I was worried about noise, but I was never woken once - we didn't use the pool or Jacuzzi as it was cold, but again it all seemed clean and well cared for. We had a car and there is plenty of free parking but used the metro to go to the Kodak Theatre - it's just a 5 min walk, as is a Starbucks, CVS, & Ralphs supermarket, it had a fridge which the swanky airport hotel we booked at the end of our vacation didn't, though the room was smaller - we saw couples, mixed and same sex, and families staying here I would use it again if we returned to Hollywood - because of the location, and the fact the owners clearly cared about the property - all the staff were very polite and friendly but if they didn't know us always checked our ID which was good ....recommended, as long as you are not expecting the Hilton!

“No luxury, but you can't beat the price for the location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011

people found this review helpful

I have heard sketchy things about this motel just a few years back. However, the motel has turned itself around. The location is great, within walking distance to Thai town. The metro is also just about 5 minutes walk away. There is enough parking for one car per room. The room was basic, but was clean. If you are just looking for a safe and affordable place in this area, this motel definitely fits the bill. I would stay here again.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the second floor towards the back for less noise from the street.

“Good value, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

If you want 4 or 5 star accommodation, this is not the place for you, but if you want a good basic place to stay in LA, this will fit the bill. Older building, but kept immaculate and you can't beat the location. Steps away from the subway, and a short drive if you have a car to all of the central city. Our room was quiet, very clean and the small refrigerator and safe were welcome additions. We didn't swim, but the pool and jacuzzi had the cleanest water of any place we've ever stayed at, and even though it is in a very busy Hollywood location, it was just far enough away from all the traffic that we never were bothered by city noise. We will stay again next year.

Room Tip: Rooms farther from the jacuzzi, pool are quieter.

“Good motel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

Staff was very friendly.
Room was good, clean, fridge, ok bed, but it is very noisy so you can hear everything thats going on outside.
Pool seemed good.
Location is great.
Free parking.
Supermarket, pharmacy and starbuks 2 min walk from the motel.
It is good value for money I assume, compared to other motels in LA. It is rather expensive staying in LA, so I thought it was worth the money.
