Don't recommend....filming in the way...

We just returned from this hotel. We stayed Oct 3-9. When we booked with Expedia, we were really looking forward to it. Then we checked in, and saw the huge heated pool. The kids were really pumped to use it. We Did the tourist thing the first few days, and planned to use the pool the last 2, to relax before we left for a long plane ride back to GA. We got up, went down to the pool, only to find out a TV show was being filmed pool side for the next 2 full days, and we , paying customers, couldn't use it. Angry doesn't cover it. No one told us when we checked in it wouldn't be available. There is no disclaimer on their web site either, to suggest you may not be able to use all the things you pay for. due to a filming. We were unable to use the pool, not able to park, and since we booked Expedia, no bill compensation was available. We were offered to be shuttled to another hotel to use their pool, and 2 free nights, which we won't use, since we live in GA. My advice-don't book anything in Hollywood area unless you ask about a pre -scheduled filming first, esp. if you have kids. The show involved half naked bikins girls, beer, wet t shirt contest, lude music, and it went on for hours right under our balcony, as we were pool side.
We used the pool for about an hour the day we had to leave, and it was great. The location is ideal. The rooms are a little older, but the beds are great, very soft, and pillows also. If you need a hard bed, these aren't for you. I would not stay there again, as it must be a hot place to film. I would use another smaller chain near by.
