Ramada - Hollywood Near Universal Studios

Great room for the money

When I got there I was not so sure if I wanted to stay there cause of the nieghborhood it was in but once I saw that it was gated I felt alittle better. The hotel was pretty clean and quiet. The room was a decent size and pretty clean as well. We were on the third floor and still refused to sleep with the sliding glass door open cause we were afraid someone would try breaking in off the streets, but other then that it was a good stay for the price. I would stay there again!!!!

Great deal

The hotel itself was a lot cleaner and nicer than I expected. The room was a bit small and the carpet had been well-loved. My boyfriend thought the bed was a bit too firm, but I actually slept well on it. Decent shower, room well kept. The free breakfast was one of the largest I've ever had -- eggs (somewhat artificial pre-made patties, but still, protein), sausage, variety of toasts and bagels, juices, cereal, fruit. Enough to really get you going. Parking was easy and secure, and although it costs extra, other hotels in Hollywood charge more.

Very good location.. be ready for a long line upon check in

Good hotel, excelent location, but very bad service for check in.

Outstanding Hotel

Thank You!

Good price for location

I had read over all the reviews prior to booking. I was concerned about the sirens, but they were not an issue and we stayed on a Saturday evening. Room was clean, staff was pleasant, breafast was alright, parking was 16.50 and they do not tell you up front.

Nice Place

The hotel itself is great, the beds are comfortable, the bathroom that I got was great, it was huge, my friends had the bathroom that is posted in the pictures on the hotel.com site. Mine was twice as big. I had 2 queen beds. It's a very convienent place to be, a mile or two away from hollywood bar hopping. The service on the other hand, I dont know what it is, but they just have a perpetual frown on their face. Oh well, I didn't have to deal with them too much and I dont ask for room service so, interaction was to a minimal. Parking is about $15+tax a day, which isn't too surprising since you'll have to pay for parking most every where else.

Just a few things

Overall the hotel is pretty great for the price. It's kept in cleanly condition, the beds are comfortable, rooms are spacious enough, and breakfast is included. It's located right by the metro red line that takes you into Hollywood or Union Station. However, there were a few minor annoyances. The stairs were designated for emergency use only, so the slow, often times crowded elevator was the only way to go to and from our 2nd floor room. The hotel bar didn't open during our 3 night stay (not to say we were really counting on it for our entertainment, but we wanted to at least check it out). Apparently, the hours are at the bartenders discretion. One more thing, the key the front desk gave us to open the sauna didn't work. Nothing major. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in LA.

Ridiculos Expectations

My friend and I arrived at the hotel early morning and were extremly tired. I asked the guy up front how much the pet deposit was and he told me. I told him we had two pets and signed the paper work. We went about our buisness for two days on the 3rd day of our 5 day stay they told me at the front desk they needed to talk to us. The cleaning crew had told them that we had 3 rabbits, 3 hamsters, 2 rats, two cats, and a dog in our room. When in reality we had one cat and one rabbit. They came and checked the room and saw the cat and the rabbit. Then they told me the rabbit was not allowed. i said its not posted anywhere that rabbits were not allowed and they said it was common sense that their not considered pets. Then they said that we had to wait till the next day to find out if we were going to be asked to leave early. And the cleaning crew left our room a disater. It caued me alot of stress and therefore was not able to enjoy my vacation. The people at the front desk rarely smiled and were cold and rude when we asked them where certain restaraunts and other sites were around us. I will never go there again and I am telling everyone I know about my experience.

when I reserve a king room - I want a king room

I don't care if it was Valentine's Day - if I make a reservation for a room with a king size bed - I expect to get a room with a king size bed. That's what reservations are for right??? But they did make it up by crediting the parking fee.
