Hollywood Inn Express, Los Angeles

Close to the freeway and on Hollywood Blvd. Was a very reasonable price compared to other hotels and had a nice swimming pool. Hotel staff was very helpful and the rooms were very spacious and clean. We book on the hotels website and got a better deal then expedia

Employees are not nice. Very seldom they are in that small room they call office. It's not possible to use computers. Towels are very few and in very bad condition. Continental breakfast they claim to serve is ridicolous. When you get there you can read a post that says they are not responsible for robbery , damage to your car and things like this. To stay there even if you pay cheap is quite depressing. The area is not very safe. I don't reccomand this motel to anyone.It's bettere to pay a little more and to be in a better place.

Clerks rude and unhelpful. room dirty and had dried urine on the toilet seat. bedsheets might not have been cleaned. Top comforter was very dirty and stained. bad area, bad part of town. no parking, no internet. horrible unhygienic hotel. Even if you're one of those people who are willing to rough it and stay in hotels that have bad ratings... stay away from this one. there are much better places you could stay for less money. this place is just gross. they didn't even clean the bathroom.

Complain: We spent 3 nights there on August. Before we went to Hollywood Express Inn we read through many bad comments here but we though that "It should be fine if we are well prepared". We were wrong! They treated us like we are homelesses begging for a shelter! Accomodation: Ofcause, the room was dirty and smelly as you could expected from a cheap hotel. They lied about Wifi internet connection and Microwave. You have to pay $10 deposit for the remote control, the refrigurator is in a bad shape, the bath room curtain was dirty and smell like a rotten fish, and lastly, "have your own towel, soap, and shampoo" is my healthy recommendation. Security: The neighborhood is unkind especially if you have to come alone at night, beggers are everywhere and number of noisy cars will wake you up all night (I'm glad that I haven't heart any gun fire yet). On the second day I found that my expansion zipp was opened! Somebody might have tried to open my baggage! Fortunately I locked it securely before I left the room (part of the well prepare things). In responding to my self-awareness, I had no ice bucket and there is a pile of dirt in the bath tub in that day. Perhaps if I intended to left some dollars unattened I might be treated better. Hospitality: The manager is not kind. Before I came I called her to ask about direction but she refuse to give anything unless I have booked her room or give her my creditcard number. On the check-out date she phoned me on 11:00 AM and said "Check out time!" I asked her for 15 minutes more for packing the stuff. On 11:15 she called again and told "I have to clean the room". Isn't the check out time is 12:00? Why she keep chasing us after spent 3 awful nights in this shelter?

Staying right on Hollywood Blvd is always tricky, but you should be able to find something better. #1 they don't give you great confidence in the reservation process and sure enough, they messed mine up. Luckily we only had 4 people in our party instead of the intended 8, b/c otherwise it would be tough to fit us in 3 beds. #2 they don't have towel bars. Go figure. I didn't think it was a luxury but here it is. But it's not like the grimmy bathroom door or unwashed wash cloth made the place sparkle! I did however, feel mostly safe (except for the smoke detector in the drawer) and for the price it was a great place to sleep. But don't plan on much else.

The Smell and the Cleanliness of the rooms was not very good. The area needs cleaning as does the parking lot. For the price we paid, it seemed liked a good deal but then we discovered that the rates were usually more

All I can say is the reviewers above must be shills for the hotel or the owners themselves. The name makes it sound like it's in Hollywood but it's in ThaiTown and really far from anything decent (except for some great Thai restaurants. The so-called Hollywood Express Inn is a total flea bag-- confirms that you never pick the cheapest hotel! The homeless shelter is nicer! The neighborhood is seedy and VERY dirty, the parking lot out back is badly lit, dangerous and trashy and the halls and rooms smell bad! And if you go out after 10, you are taking a risk. My friends from Europe made the mistake of booking it and paying in advance so were stuck there for several nights. It is a typical low-end hotel that preys on the ignorance of tourists from afar.

My dad took me on a trip to California last summer and we stayed about 11 days. We stayed in about 7 different hotels to see different parts of the city before we came across this one. We wish we found it sooner! We stayed here the rest of our stay and when we go back to Hollywood we are definately staying here again. Service was great, rooms were bigger and cleaner than many of the other hotels we paid double the price for. There is a great Thai restaurant right across the street where 2 of us ate for about $16 (drinks and tip included!) Another great thing about this motel is the large, clean pool. would HIGHLY reccomend!

Very clean rooms (though sparse), friendly service, close to many attractions. Highly recommened for anyone on a budget who doesn't plan to spend to much time in their hotel but enjoys a comfortable, clean place to sleep. I will stay here again if I'm ever in the area.

it is a nice and clean place the room are huge and clean and the price is the best only 5 minuites to la convention center and downtown it is realy good deal
