Our room was fine but there was some outdated and unnecessary furniture (empty media center) and it overall felt dirty; burnt carpet (iron mark), cracks and dents in the toilet seat. But hey, it's a 2-star hotel. The shower is miniature, it barely fits one person. It almost felt a prison shower (not that I would know).The location is fantastic if you're […] looking to do Hollywood sightseeing. Overall, a passable one-night hotel. Read more

This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to all Hollywood sights. But the hotel itself is very run down and shabby. The shower was old and had mismatched fixtures that were hard to regulate. My son had to take a cold shower because he couldn't figure it out. The room is shabby and needs a makeover. The description says free breakfast […] but its just bad coffee and a prepackaged danish. If you don't plan to spend much time in your room it is an okay place to crash. Read more

Impreseed by set up of cot already made up and in position for third adult guest. The suite was very large, could easily accommodate five people. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessities. Was greeted with all the business-like information needed even through it was a late arrival.

The location was super convenient to Hollywood Blvd. We could walk everywhere, and parking at the hotel was free! Crazy in LA. The staff was very friendly, as well. Free WiFi in the lobby and free continental breakfast. It really was a great deal for the area. Also, there's a Fresh and Easy and CVS right down the street. The only things I didn't love […] was that the bathroom was old and small.. tiniest shower ever! And one of the beds in our room was kinda hard. But the balcony was big and nice.. a good place to hang out and rest after seeing the sights. Read more

The pictures online made me think that this hotel was great!! But that definitely wasn't a reality....The lobby was very presentable but once I went to my room I was very disappointed. The room reaked of bleach when we opened the door, come to find out there was a puddle of bleach spilled on the carpet. The rooms were very poorly maintained and it just […] wasn't a very comfortable experience. For the price I paid to stay in the "Executive Suite", I just expected so much more. I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone I know. Read more

This place is very nice when you get to the lobby. The room was like an apartment. kitchen, massive closet, nice outside area which the room opened up to. All of this was great for our family with 2 small kids. The location is great. It took us about a 5 minute walk to The Walk of Fame. Parking was free and very secure and plenty of it. Everything was […] fine until it was time for bed. You can hear everything going on. I could hear the TV next door, people walking above us, and anything going on in the hall. The beds are also not comfortable. The pillows are dreadful. If you can handle that then this is the perfect place for the price. The breakfast is a bunch of carbs but it is included. Overall, it was a good place for the price compared to the other places in the area. We stayed in room 106. This is the room across the hall (105) from where Janis Joplin died. Spoooky! Read more

It was nice, my daughter wanted a bath & the room we had only had a shower, so they moved us right away. They were very friendly & accommodating. It was close to the area we needed to be in to visit friends. We'd stay there again.

Carpet is dirty. Bathroom is very small. Room is noisy. Bed sheet is clean. Bedroom is big enough. Near to Universal Studio.

I needed a cheap place to stay for 1 night as close as possible to the Hollywood Roosevelt. This fit the bill and didn't look too bad online. The lobby is fairly nice but the rooms are definitely divey. They re-vamped the common spaces to sell the hotel, but haven't done the rooms. Nothing disgusting, but I wouldn't have taken a date here. No desk or […] table in the room but it did have a microwave & fridge. Balcony had best furniture. Bathroom was tiny, old-fashioned, but clean. Fine for 1 night if you don't mind roughing it a little. Read more

Hotel was nice, room was not the nicest one but was OK. Need some TLC. You can heard people walking form the room above- it is horrible if people start walking at 6 AM when you are still sleeping- Kitchen was not fully equipment and if you used the few plates and pans the hotel offered you will have it dirty all your stay. Hotel did not clean them and […] of course we did not bring any soup so we did not clean them as well. I was expecting with the room service the hotel will remove dirty dishes or at least provide soap and sponges. Breakfast was good and enough. Very close to Hollywood boulevard, and Chinese theater. You can walk everywhere. Staff very nice... Read more

Terrible Hotel! Very deceiving from the pictures they show online. The carpets and walls have stains all over. We wouldn't even sleep in the Bed. Had to sleep on the couch. Room smelled like smoke. The maid came in while we were sleeping, then came back and knocked two more times asking for our names because of a mistake they had made about a specific […] room that they had moved us to. The hotel manager then called the phone asking us more questions and was quite rude. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone I know. Read more

I hated it this hotel should have no stars!!!! It was dirty, filthy but the staff was kind of helpful. The pool was cool looking but dirty as well.

Genuine Expedia guest review

the insides were much nicer than the outsides. the desk clerk just about floored me with how nice and helpful he was. pretty cheap but a great place to stay for my event at the chinese theatre.

Close to everything .Walked to Magic Castle and to blvd, Everyone is great at hotel. Very friendley

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was fine for one night and the price was right for Hollywood, but I would not recommend staying here if you are looking for any sort of luxury. Front desk was pleasant, location was nice.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Had a nice stay at the Highland. Quiet. Clean. Staff friendly. Close to everything I wanted to see.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It just had a very weird vibe. Felt like an apartment building more than a hotel. We did not stay the night. Just drove home instead.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We saw a show at the Hollywood bowl and found this hotel to be the perfect location! We walked to the show and back. The room we had had a nice kitchen and living room. We were able to bring our dog for an extra fee. Front desk staff were very nice. If we come back to Hollywood we would stay here again.

Outside has a pretty greenery but the concierge guy was.by.far one of the rudest hotel staff i.have ever.encountered. I am.busy but still plan on calling to let mamagement know. The room is low quality. My back hurt the next day.from the bed

Very close to Hollywood Bvl, very clean, nice view with swimming pool

Genuine Expedia guest review

I really liked it here. I live in the LA area and had to leave my place for a night. I will definitely stay here again. They have a ping pong table by the pool love ping pong, equipment needs updating though. The room was all tile except for the bedroom. I felt like I was in an apartment. Very chill. They should offer free wifi in the rooms Though bc […] the service that u can pay for blows! The location is also fantastic. Read more

Lovely place to stay- nice quiet pool area. 2 blocks to Grauman's Chinese theatre and about 10 minutes to Universal Studios.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room rate was a little over-priced for what it was, but the location is great for anyone wanting to be a "tourist" in Hollywood. Definitely not a crack hotel by any means, but right accross the street from a park full of classic L.A. lurkers, homeless or otherwise. Pretty safe for families and simple mod, old school architecture from the 50's - […] neat pool and fun ping-pong table. I would consider staying again, but would negotiate a better rate. (Weird point of interest for rock history:Janice Joplin kicked the bucket in Room 105.) Read more

Clean, but very rustic! the bathroom was clean but way out of date and could have used even a few basic fix-ups. The air conditioning is sooo old, it barely cooled the room and windows inthe back could not be closed, they were broken. Very noisy!!! I had a terrible nights sleep! But the owners were friendly and things were clean. Could be a great hotel […] if they did some fixups! Read more

The dated features are not for those who love modern luxury, but this hotel was great for 1960s nostalgia. I lived in LA in the early 60s. Loved the decor and huge empty pool. Italian Vogue magazine was doing a cover shoot when we arrived. It was an easy walk to Hollywood Blvd and a short freeway hop to Universal Studios. A memorable experience!

Our room was not ready when we got there at 4 pm, it still needed to be cleaned! The air conditioner didn't work well at all and the room was very stuffy! The noise level from upstairs was awful!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Air conditioner couldn't keep up, no coffee pot, very few pans, plates and utensils, no paper towels, no kitchen cleaning materials, one small tv, not flat screen, dirty couch, leaking tub. Breakfast area in lobby included coffee and packaged muffins.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Late checking in and the underground lot only spot left was between 2 poles. Parked on the street to wake up to a $63 parking ticket. Hotel rooms are converted old 1 bedroom apartments. Bed was like sleeping on plywood. Good thing was only 1 walking block from Hollywood Blvd.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The lobby is modern and gorgeous but the hotel room/bathroom was in dire need of renovations. I suggest starting with the bathroom where the showers were cracked and the other room that my parent's stayed in had no hot water. The people at the front desk were nice though.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel seemed to be misleading. Lobby is remodeled and so are the rooms that are linked to the lobby, however the "one bedroom suites" are old appartments converted to a hotel room (i guess converted). Some poeple seemed to be living in the hotel rooms. Outside of rooms and pool area looks as though it has not been touched for 40 years. Breakfast was […] very weak with just pre-packaged sweets. Great location though. Read more

Hotel needs updating. Some cleanliness problems. Pool dirty, Air conditioning in rooms poor. Location to Hollywood and tourist attraction is a positive, Would look elsewhere before staying there again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel has a lot of character and is in the heart of Hollywood. Everything is walking distance which was great and free parking. Overall great stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Rooms were not that clean and the front desk agent's are not as helpful as the site states that they are.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is quite and the rooms were large. It came with a full kitchen and dining table. But the beds were hard. Overall it was a good stay. They can up their comp. breakfast though. Muffins, juice bagels, and coffee is just standard.

My stay @ the hotel was not pleasing to me my room was very stuffy when i wallked in had to clean the kitchen floor looked dusty the carpet was old looking.,needs new carpet the parking was rediculous 1 pass per room my guest had a car also could not park on grounds had to park down the street in a parking garage that cost $16.00 from10pm to 11am. The […] front desk had no concerns of this i was also charged $100 deposit for any damages done was not told initially nor did i get a pass had a 2queen beds full kitchen & limited parking. The last day for check out i was packing my clothes in my car when i came back to my room to grab the last bag the hotel clerk was peaking in my room standing @ the door creepy when i asked him what was he doing? Stated "some guess leave the room door open & dont check out" wow who does this to hotel guest. Read more

Near metro, near hollywood attractions,. A really functionnal room with all comfort. All that we wanted ! And a nice Swimming pool !

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Based on some reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. My family and I stayed in the one bedroom suite/apartment- it was bright, clean and spacious enough to fit four people comfortably. The bedroom had its own non-locking door and the bed was pretty decent. The kitchen came fully stocked. The staff was wonderful. We needed […] extra towels and when we requested them at the front desk, we got them right away; they even asked us if they could order food for us, since they don't have room service. The hotel could use a fresh coat of paint and new carpet in the rooms, but overall, for the price (which included parking and a continental breakfast) and location, it was a great stay. Read more
