The Standard in Hollywood proved to be a good choice for me and my friends.. We rented a room during the summer for a city-wide event and we had a blast. The rooms were clean, the foyer was bustling, and the party at the pool was off the hook. The hotel itself was nice. The restrooms are always the main thing for me and The Standard was very clean. ...

What a terrible experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/28/07
I am an aussie whom was travelling alone in the US and on Friday 21 September 2007 after traveling from Los Vagas, I checked into this establishment. The going rate was $259 US plus TAX. All being fine, the room although old was very clean and well presented. I left my room at about 8pm going to the nearby Comedy Club by myself and returning to ...

Standard Room, Below Standard Service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/17/07
The best thing about going and staying in a hotel is the service, the idea that you are being well taken care of and catered to. We did not even stay at the standard, we just went there in the daytime for the pool! The people were so rude at the pool, when we ordered drinks/food, the waiters were sooo rude, it took forever to get a drink/food, and ...

Sub-standard
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/29/07
The decor of the rooms was interesting and trendy, but the amenities were off--Mr. Bubble Bubblebath--what's that about? Service at the counter and in the restaurant were understaffed. The restaurant had a terribly rude waiter who was obviously disgruntled because he was working too many tables--never could get breakfast there in spite of getting there at opening time because I had somewhere to be at 8:00 am and their service was too slow.

don't believe the hype
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/13/07
first : sorry for my bad english I stay 3 night with my girl friend last year (september 2006), I book a room with private balcony and city view. The balcony was at the swimming pool floor with a lot of noisy girls and boys... So no privacy and no view. Standard is a place to drink a beer before the party, but really not a place to sleep.

below standard.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/02/07
worst experience ever. we were kicked out of our room for calling the front desk and explaining to them that our couch did not pull out when we purchased a room that slept four people. they hung up on us twice and then someone came up to our room and made us leave the hotel for "harassing the front desk" so not true!! they pulled our cars ...
Location is great, lobby is great. That's where it ended for us. It's Tuesday night and "slept" to thumping music from the cafe/bar below, people above who didn't go to bed until 6am, the smell of cigarettes coming in through the HVAC system and no way to get fresh air into the room. Oh, and did I mention the creaking floors ...
This is a BASIC hotel. It has IKEA written all over it, but it's definitely not the most comfortable place to stay. You'll feel like you're in a dorm. It's overrated with nothing special about it. Though, it is walking distance from the clubs. So if you don't care for a comfortable bed or much space at all; this is the place for you.
