We stayed here because it was close to NBC studios where the Ellen Degeneres Show is taping. I had tickets to the show and it was fairly well within walking distance but you should wear comfortable walking shoes. The best route we took was from the hotel on Riverside Dr to the corner which is Kenwood St and make a... more

First, if you can find other hotels in the area I suggest you go there. Never, ever book your stay with this hotel. If you're saving a few bucks compared to another hotel don't even think about booking with this hotel. The poor customer service is NOT worth it. The manager, Mr. Patel, will not get back to you (you... more

Definitely, the location, room size and amenities, and price were exactly what we expected. The area was safe, quiet, and there was plenty of free parking. The room was generally clean and in good repair. There were several good restaurants close by. For those reasons, we would probably stay here again. The only serious problem we had was that the... more

I stayed here early August 2007 with my daughter. This was on the way home from New Zealand to Ireland, as we wanted to be near Universal Studios. We were not driving - and this hotel is not at all convenient to public transport, and taxis will collect but getting back is not easy. The reception staff are a mixed... more

MY husband, our 14 year old son and myself stayed here 4/27/07 thru 4/29/07. We were in LA for our sons birthday. We went to Universal Studios which is only about 3 miles away and to Hollywood which is propably only about 5 miles away. Check in was easy and the girl at the desk was so nice. The room... more

I stay at this hotel about once a month. It is close to a number of fabulous restaurants of every ethnic variety including Don Cuco's Mexican (across the street), Thai Ghindi (fabulous sushi) only a block away, and many other classic Hollywood favorites such as Mo's and Bob's Big Boy. You can walk to Starbuck's, Trader Joe's, Sebastien's, NBC Studios,... more

Stayed here for two nights on the weekend. Visited Hollywood and area during the day. The hotel was clean and fairly quiet. The parking was free and below ground. There didn't seem to be any security for the parking, and would have been concerned if I was alone in the lot, particularly at night. At check in, was not advised... more

Stayed one night to attend a funeral at Forest Lawn Memorial, which is very close to this hotel. The hotel and our room was clean and the complimentary wifi was helpful. The hotel was walking distance to local eateries. I was not properly greeted when I walked in to check-in. The young girl behind the counter was not welcoming and... more

I usually try to avoid soulless chain hotels, but this one seemed most convinient to a buisness meeting. I'm extremely glad I went with it. It's IS a Best Western... won't win any decor awards.... but my (standard) room was suite -sized, with a sofa, a very comfortable bed, wireless -- and a small refrigerator, for which I was very... more
