When arriving by car it is a bit of a zoo getting into the car park - not a big fan of the valet system either. Prefer to park my own car! It is close to the main Hollywood attractions but you do have to walk sown the dodgy end to reach Kodak Theater and the hub - however, it is a decent hotel with nice clean room and all amenities you need! Just be prepared for the traffic. There is a nice little market if you walk east on Franklin where you can get a nice coffee and pastry if you want alternative to the hotel's 101 cafe which is also good.

I stayed here on Jan 28 - 31, 2012. It was my first time staying here so I did not know what to expect. The hotel does a wonderful job keeping everything clean, from the lobby to the bedrooms. I stayed in room 124, which is on the first floor across from the pool. The room was spacious, clean, and very modern looking. The bathroom was big too. The room had a coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave. I was able to get the room for $108 a night. I believe if you have AAA it may be cheaper. The air conditioner worked well. The only problem I had, was that you could hear everything. My sleep was interrupted many times because I could hear the people who were hanging out by the pool area. I could also hear the TV in the room next to me. Room 124 is right by the ice machine. A plus and negative at the same time. Unfortunately, I could hear when people were getting ice. Which kind of stinks when it is 3AM and your trying to sleep. I believe it took us about 15-20min to walk to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Do yourself a favor, and walk over to the W hotel which is about four blocks away from the Best Western Hollywood Hills, and go to the Metro station and buy a $5.00 subway pass. You can use this all day. Take the subway to Hollywood and Wine where all the action is, and it will drop you off right by the Kodak theatre within a matter of minutes. There is also a outdoor mall. This was very handy when I did not want to deal with the many people laying on the street asking for money. Attached to this hotel is a GREAT place to eat. I highly recommend ordering the chocolate brownie waffle, which comes with two scoops of vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup drizzled on top. A wonderful dessert, enough for two people to share. The batter is nice and light. :)

When we arrived we were given a choice of two rooms, both spotlessly clean and fresh.The larger room would have been our first choice had it not been for the fact that the lift was broken and we did'nt fancy carrying our luggage up four flights of stairs. Plus it was on the street which was very loud even with double windows. Our room was pool side but being January the pool was not in use. The staff were very friendly & helpful, especially the valet.Great old Hollywood photos all around which gets you in the mood to get out and see L.A!! Would stay again.

We found our room to be very clean, all the modern conveniences, etc - just what we needed for our stay in the Hollywood area.

The hotel is 'sassy' in that they have made successful efforts to style the hotel in the hey days of Hollywood- photos of the stars, 1950's colors and fixtures throughout the hotel.

Staff have been entirely welcoming; note that Valet Parking is a necessary feature at at extra charge.

Hotel is VERY close to the freeway, so both freeway noise but great freeway access are part of the deal.
