Best Western Plus Hollywood Hills Hotel

Let me begin with the one saving grace of this property: David, Max, and Fred. Were it not for their engaging and fun personalities, along with their helpful, friendly guidance with Hollywood's 'do's and don'ts', this review would have earned two stars. The hotel/motor inn (take your pick) was, from appearance, an apartment building from yesteryear that was converted into a motor inn and given a fresh coat of paint, albeit a 'funky' one at that. Archival photos and prints of Hollywood stars, both film and vocal, don't save the small, listless rooms and rather oddly-colored buildings from seeming like a Motel 6 on steroids. Also, the neighborhood is no fault of the property's, but it didn't seem to matter which street I traversed towards Hollywood Boulevard, Gower or Argyle, I held onto my wallet as tightly as possible. Having said that, words cannot describe how delightful David, Max, and and Fred were when we checked in, but unfortunately, those very cool guys can't make the bed or the room any more comfortable. less

My family stayed here for two nights. This is an older hotel and the room was small but clean. The pool area was also nice and clean. The decor was very fun, lots of old pics of Hollywood stars. We are at the restaurant that is attached, breakfast was very good. There is only valet available for parking. We were about 10 min from universal studios. less

I have stayed in this hotel many times. There is a huge difference between staying in the main building and the pool area. The rooms are better and much quieter in the main building. The rooms by the pool are noisy and are right next to Highway 101. It's a cool hotel--lounge is great and the 60s-themed diner is wonderful, though a bit pricey. less

Wonderful, fun, vintage Hollywood hotel. Loved the decor and staff was very helpful and kind. Staff went out of their way to help my older parents and asked about my mom during our stay as she was having surgery in a nearby hospital. less

Flew down for a 2-night stay to catch a concert at the Hollywood Palladium and we could not have picked a better place. Nice, comfortable room with excellent staff. The 101 Diner is absolutely brilliant - we ate there several times. Easy walking distance to everything. If you fly into Hollywood Burbank Airport, catch the 222 bus into Hollywood - it will drop you off only a couple of blocks from the hotel for $1.75 per person. Convenient all around! less
