“Good Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

Pros - Right behind Walk of fame, free internet, free breakfast and free parking.
1 station away from Universal Studio, you could save the $ by taking the train.
Breakfast is simple but they have a very helpful and friendly tea lady :)

Cons - You could probably hear your neighbours upstairs opening the balcony door/cupboard. I was given level 1 room and probably a little noisy in the morning but if you are those who wake up early then is ok.
During my stay in early feb, I could smell the paint smell in my room :(
The heater is kinda noisy, therefore, I off it during the night but the room turns cold no choice I have to turn on again however, the heater do not seems to be that strong.
Just a little rundown but room is big with kitchen if you are not too messy abt the condition.

If you plan to drive out to elsewhere and not stay most of ur time in the Hollywood area probably you can consider another hotel unless you really spend most of your time in Hollywood.

Overall if you are looking for hollywood location, free breakfast/Internet/Parking this is the hotel. Price reasonable.

Take note they charge for local calls...

Room Tip: Probably do not ask for a level 1 room at the end of the corner

Dear Mr. and Mrs. 10Lynn,

Thank you for your review of the Hollywood Orchid Suites and for choosing us for your stay while visiting Hollywood.

We apologize for the paint smell in your room and sincerely hope that if you asked for another room that the front desk was able to accommodate you. It is important to us that you and all of our guests enjoy your stay with us and as we continue to upgrade and renovate we are doing all that we can to minimize the inconvenience to our guests.

In addition, you willl be happy to hear that all of the heaters in the Executive Suites and Junior Rooms have been replaced, although hopefully we will not be needing heat for much longer here in L.A.

Last of all, one of the things that make us such a great value in a great location are the amenities that we offer at no extra charge such as parking in a secure garage, high speed wireless internet, a computer and printer for guest use, continental breakfast and FREE local calls in the 323 area code. Any call that you make from the room in which you do not use a 1 before the number should have been free and we will be happy to refund that amount to you if you were charged. Please contact me with your name and date of stay and I will be happy to investigate it for you. I looked over our log and did not see where anyone had been charged for a local call and so it would be very helpful to us to discover and resolve any issue to the contrary.

We sincerely hope that you enjoyed your stay in Hollywood and that you'll come back to visit us soon.

Warm regards,

Sandra Hausaman, Manager

“Excellent location and great value for money.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

This hotel is located in an excellent location just some steps from the walk of fame and Kodak Theatre, you also have a shopping mall just next to the hotel, but you have to walk and find a hidden path to get into the shopping mall, once you are there you will have an extremely nice view of the hills with the Hollywood sign.
The hotel has big rooms with kitchenette, big bathroom, very good service and friendly staff, they also have breakfast, just milk, bread and fruits, but its a good option. A very good advise is to rent a car, because LA attractions are very far one from the other. I would stay there again with my family.
In addition Hollywood Orchid Suites is a very good option, highly recommendable and with an excellent location.

“Big room, Big noise”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Checked onto hotel yesterday. Big room has two seperate bedrooms. The hotel ispretty old, looks like converted old apartment building.Rooms are outdated but clean. Has kitchen with fridge, stove, micro coffee maker.
the floors are thin and listened all noght the the sounds of people walking around in the rooms above me. This morning awoke to the sounds of ammer drillsing in the parking garage. Working on the plumbing is what I understand.
The parking garage is low clearance, only 6'4" so if you have an SUV, check the height before you book.
The hotel is convienient to the mall, starbucks, several resturaunts, California Pizza Kitchen and my favorite, The Grill. Never had a bad meal there.

Staff is nice.

Room Tip: probably better to stay on top floor. I was on level two and it was loud from the footsteps alnight...

Dear Mtich S.

Thank you for choosing the Hollywood Orchid Suites while visiting the Los Angeles area.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we upgrade our plumbing to new copper pipes. While we realize it is an inconvenience, we are doing all that we can to minimize any impact to our guests -- such as limiting the hours that contractors can work (10 AM - 5PM) -- as we continue to improve the hotel.

As you mentioned, the hotel is not new and the rooms are somewhat dated. However, we are making improvements daily and hope that when you stay with us again that you will see some of them. For instance, we just built an outdoor patio area for extra seating at breakfast; replaced the bedroom windows in most of the rooms for greater soundproofing and aesthetics; and are replacing the vinyl flooring with tile, etc.

I will be happy to discuss any of your or any of our guest's concerns regarding these improvements.

Have a great weekend!

Warm regards,
Sandra Hausaman, Manager

“Loved this hotel!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

people found this review helpful

we stayed here for 3 night wish we were there more. the location is great right behind kodak theater and a lovely little shopping center but in a kind of cul de sac street, so nice and quite. We go in before check in time but staff had our room ready and a lovely lady checked us in think she was called mia? The rooms were such a surprise they were more like a flat massive bed big wardrobe nice bathroom and a big kitchen. the hotel is super clean when they make your room up they really go at it you can even smell how clean it is ( if that makes sense ). the staff were all very helpful with directions taxis trips etc. Also we didnt use the pool but our friends did and they said it was lovely and warm and very clean!

“Still our first choice at Hollywood.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This was our second stay at the Hollywood Orchid Suites and again we experienced it as an excellent choice. This hotel is very well situated right behind the Kodak Theatre, and also provides a security entrance. Although the hotel is centrally situated only one block away from all the happenings at Hollywood Boulevard, it is in a quiet cul-de-sac road. We experienced the reception staff quick and efficient and our room was also found to be very spacious, neat and tidy. The kitchen is fully equipped with crockery and utensils. A complimentary breakfast is provided although the breakfast area is a bit crowded. There is not enough seating provided for all the guests unless you arrive very early. The best solution was to dish up your breakfast and enjoy it in your own spacious dining room. We found the reception staff very friendly and helpful when we made enquiries and in assisting us when requesting for transport. They also reacted promptly when we complained one evening after midnight about noisy tenants. They immediately went to their room and requested them to quieten down. Complimentary Internet is provided and the hotel also has a nice well maintained swimming pool.
