Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hollywood Walk Of Fame

The atmosphere is quite nice and clean. The overall place is great.
It is definitely a family hotel, no prostitutes or parties going on. We were able to sleep a great amount.
The lady at the breakfast made our stay, her name is Marieta.
She was super friendly, nice and very clean and on time with serving breakfast.
I would recommend this hotel!

Our stay was ok, nothing special. Staff was friendly. Parking space was ok. We stayed 2 nights and we most likely will skip this location next time.
Hot water wasn’t hot enough
It was loud at night (probably lots of crackheads around)
If you’re looking for a hotel try somewhere else.
Enough said!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this hotel is. I was expecting a clean yet average room when I booked but far exceeded my expectations. We had the 2 story suite and it was the best room I’ve ever stayed in while in Hollywood, and I’ve stayed in quite a few. The bedroom upstairs is HUGE! There a full bath upstairs and a half bath downstairs in case you have people back to chill. Micro, fridge, freezer, big flat screens, the works. The free breakfast has A LOT of choices and even though it was crowded, they kept it well stocked. All the staff was super cool and its proximity to Hollywood Blvd can’t be beat. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay close to the touristy stuff.

Really nothing but positive things to say about this location. I booked last minute for a stay on Halloween and I ended up needing to change my reservation last minute to accommodate some friends that were coming along. I called the front desk late in the evening and was met with a very courteous front desk employee who made the change over the phone and got us the room we needed at a better rate. The location is the biggest draw it’s about a 10 minute walk up to the Hollywood bowl and about a 10 minute walk down to the Hollywood walk of fame. Parking is fairly simple it’s all valet parking, but if you check in with Unilocal you get $ 10 off the parking for one night. Which for $ 11 parking all night in Los Angeles is crazy good.
The rooms were standard for a holiday and clean and beds were comfortable. The elevators did take a little while to go up and come back down so I ended up taking the stairs on a few occasions. Free Wi-​Fi is always a bonus and they actually did a good job of labeling and reminding people that it was going to be daylight savings. Caught breakfast in the morning was pretty solid came right at the end so didn’t get to try the pancakes but otherwise a hot breakfast for free is always a bonus when staying somewhere.
I think anytime I come for a concert at the Hollywood Bowl I’ll be staying here now.

Here, as most people, for a concert and just looking for something convenient.
Staff is great, no complaints on that side.
Rooms are old and musty, which doesn’t come as a surprise. It has all the basics and free WiFi, $ 18 for parking overnight, and a semi decent pool.
For the price and the area, I guess it is fair, thus the 3 star rating.
Good café just down below, so it adds to the convenience.

My fiancé and I went to go see Kanye’s concert at the Hollywood Bowl over the weekend. We ended up having such a great time that we’d rather be safe than sorry.
I called up the hotel on Saturday at 730pm and luckily they had one king room available. Due to events, rooms can be overpriced. We took the room anyway and enjoyed the night without having to worry about driving back to OC.
This hotel is walking distance to the Hollywood Bowl, perfect location. The king size room we had was spacious and modern. It was just right and I was happy with it. Also included was complimentary hot breakfast.

I booked my stay through Expedia and chose this hotel due to the good reviews on Expedia, the room size, and proximity to attractions I knew that I wanted to experience. Overall, I have mixed reviews of this hotel. First, the location IS great and I was very happy that the Hollywood Walk of Fame and key attractions were a 5 minute walk away. That was extremely convenient. Also, the room was spacious enough for my group of 5 — 2 adults and 3 kids. I also was pleased that the rate included breakfast. However, I felt that the hotel was TOO expensive for what it was — $ 300 a night once you include parking.
(1) The biggest disappointment of my stay was housekeeping. We were in Hollywood for my daughter’s birthday. She had brought her iPod with her and checked her iMessages in the morning. She left her iPod on the bed. When we got back to the hotel, her iPod was gone. She was very upset. Since other electronics were still in the room (an iPad and a computer), we assumed that she must have brought her iPod with her and left it somewhere. My Mom and older daughter revisited tourist attractions we visited that day and the night before. We revisited restaurants. Meanwhile, my daughter (on her BIRTHDAY) was crying hysterically. She was inconsolable, but kept insisting that she had left her iPod in the room. All of our searching was fruitless. Then, on the off-​chance she really did leave her iPod in the room, we asked at the front desk. After asking around, a housekeeper said that she accidentally removed the iPod with the sheets and miraculously found it before sticking the sheets in the watch and turned it over. My daughter was happy to be reunited with her iPod but it ruined hours of her birthday. The following morning, I complained and the manager told me that this was the second time, to his knowledge, that the housekeeper «accidentally» removed items from a guest room with the sheets. Sorry, I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels, and I have NEVER EVER experienced ANYTHING LIKE IT.
(2)The elevator was slow and one elevator was extremely unreliable and got stuck.
(3) Dingy rooms that smell musty. The carpet was stretched out in areas. This place is pretty dumpy, even for a Holiday Inn.
All in all, location is great, but this hotel leaves a lot to be desired. I am most upset about the iPod incident. A housekeeper should never remove items from a room and she should have been fired the first time it happened.

My parents have stayed at these hotels all over the country and this one did NOT meet our expectations.
First of all, we had to pay $ 22 each day for parking, which bumped our price per night to almost $ 300! THEN, on our elevator ride downstairs a woman (not sure if she was an employee or not but she was carrying paper work) said the elevator wasn’t working and we shouldn’t dare take it because we had a baby with us. As an anxious person, this completely freaked me out! When I asked the front desk lady about it she looked at me like I was crazy and had no idea what I was talking about! I didn’t want to get stuck in the elevator with my baby so I ended up hiking up 7 flights of stairs with my baby on our way back up! On top of that, you have to take two different elevators to get to any room above level 5! We tried to call the front desk to ask for pool and breakfast hours and no one answered after several try’s.
Wifi also didn’t work well most of the time.
So, I would say book an air b n b place or look for another hotel with better service and amenities! To end this on a positive note… The bathroom and breakfast both were good!

I just called to hopefully get a room due to a loud party above my apartment. The young man Robert who answered the phone cut me off midsentence, seeming annoyed, and returned 3 minutes later and didn’t even acknowledge that long hold and frankly still sounded annoyed. At this point I didn’t want to talk to him longer for a transaction, so I asked him his name. He replied that” this is the front desk,” and refused his name till I pushed.
Not good! Usually Holiday Inn Express never lets me down! Vey disappointed.

A little pricey but to be expected for the location. A very short walk to the walk of fame and ashortdriveto universal. Very nice and clean rooms although the elevator is a little slow. Would have no problem coming back

The staff was incredibly accommodating to me. I left my luggage there at 8 a.m. even though check in was at 4 p.m. No problems, nothing stolen, etc. They even gave me a small water and trail mix bag because I told them I’d been rushing all around Los Angeles for a convention I was attending.
It’s close by the hustle and bustle of Hollywood and the parking garage has cute paintings of famous actors. No problems. The free breakfast in the morning is decent — not the best food but they have fruit, yogurt, danishes, etc. It’s totally worth it.

Ok, so not sure why the general manager would say the stopper was down in the bathtub. It was NOT down, it was up, we are not children here. The drain was badly clogged and no one was there to help us. It would be wise of this GM to be honest when replying to reviews. I would never stay here again, nor would I tell my worst enemies to stay in such an atrocity.

Stayed here to go to an event at the Hollywood Bowl. I definitely recommend it for that. It was so much easier to use the hotel valet then walk to the venue, and when it was over we walked back. I used my IHG points to get a room so it was pretty reasonable, but they can be pretty expensive on event nights.
Downside– slow elevators and no stairs to the lobby.

This place is so pathetic. Their rooms are SO SMALL yet they charge over $ 200 for a night!!! Everything about this hotel is a rip off. So dirty and nasty their carpets are. And the manager Omar is so unprofessional doesn’t know how to deal with customers. They over charge your credit card and hope you don’t catch on. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NICE HOTEL TO GO TO PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE HOLIDAY INN, it is so not worth your money. You can pay the same price and actually get a really nice suite not a regular small room like the ones they give you at the Holiday Inn in Hollywood, CA!!!

Had a nice stay– manager Omar is friendly.

Our stay started off well. We checked in on my birthday and the front desk guy said he’d only charge me $ 14 for parking because it was my birthday. He was really nice and told us which way to go if we wanted to grab dinner and drinks on the blvd.
The next morning we were about to check out as we were going to Universal Studios. It was very frustrating and annoying! We walked out of our room on the 7^th floor to use the computers next to the breakfast area. Later we found out that the elevators to the 5^th-​8^th floors weren’t working (there was no sign or cones) so when we tried to get back into our room to grab our bags the keys didn’t work anymore! So, we walked the confusing maze of stairs back down to the lobby to get our key reactivated. They said that they lock them because check out time is noon. But, it was only 11! We got our keys, walked back upstairs to our room, and grabbed our luggage, and our cooler.
If you could imagine one small lady like me, and my boyfriend dragging our stuff down 7 flights of the maze of stairs (it really had a lot of turns here and there) you could see us breaking a sweat walking up and down. We finally get down to the lobby and while there are 4 employees behind the front desk, no one offered to help me drag our luggages and cooler… NO ONE. They just stood there watching. Then when I checked out, the lady told me she’ll charge me $ 22 for parking… yeah, I didn’t even wanna argue that the guy last night told me $ 14. I was pissed, sweaty, and annoyed. And as I walked away, I told myself… NEVER AGAIN.

When you see the front façade picture in the web page, it looks like a nice, not modern, but nice hotel, in a clean place. Those marketing strategies are the best! Well, the hotel is not in a nice neighborhood and it feels old, but is just 3 blocks to the walk of fame (Hotel wins)
The parking is very expensive, $ 22 a day (we stayed just one night). We were on a road trip with my family so we left a lot of personal ítems at the MiniVan, so I was not confortable leaving the car with them. I Insisted and the valet let me park the car my self.
The size of the room is great. It has a mini kitchen, microwave, refrigerator and a sofabed wich was very helpful for us, as we are a family of 5.
We were at the 8^th floor (not sure) with a view to the Street right above the reception, with no noise from outside.
Breakfast and wifi is included wich is a great plus. They don´t have a restaurant, but across the street there´s a pizza place and a Subway, wich was fantastic for the kids.
Not the greatest hotel in the area, but the cheaper (around $ 220 a night).

THIS HOTEL IS A NIGHTMARE! My wife and I stayed here last Saturday night. I would like to have said we slept here but that was not the case. We were plonked in room 307 which has a window with a view of a dirty alley running behind the rooms or maybe it’s an escape route. After attending a music event at the Greek Theater we returned to our room at about 10pm and commenced to unwind by watching some tv in bed. That’s when we noticed a loud horrible humming sound coming from behind the wall at the head of our bed. This intrusive sound continued unabated all through the night and was still going when we left to check out at about 7.30am in the
was then that I walked out of our room and around the corner to see a large coin operated washer and dryer up against the wall adjoining our bedroom… right where the head of our bed sat. These idiots had put us next to a laundry and allowed it to be operated all through the night. And I seriously doubt it was hotel guests who were washing their clothes load after load through the whole night. I would compare this hotel to ALCATRAZ which was also clean and built for punishment. When we arrived to check in at about 2.30pm on Saturday afternoon there was no one else within a hundred feet of reception except us and yet Mr Hotshot behind the front desk had his head buried in the computer and told us he had to do this and would be only a couple of
we had to stand there while Omar farted around when we were tired from our long drive from San Diego and just wanted to to get into our room. Even then he fed us some bullshit that the room wasn’t ready yet and it would not be until 3.30pm that we could pick up the keys. He asked for our cell phone number so he could let us know when the room was ready. When we finally realized he had texted us we returned to the reception desk and had to stand around waiting even longer just to pick up our keys because there was line of people waiting for Omar to work out how to use the computer. You will have to chance death driving into the hotel carpark because of the ARMAGEDDON GRIDLOCK on the road outside. The breakfast dining room on the 4^th floor had the look of a McDonald’s in a 3^rd world country and the food on offer wouldn’t be fit to be served in a prison. DISGUSTING…that’s why it’s free. SEE IT AND HEAR IT ON YouTube —

My husband and I loved this hotel! Upon check-​in, his Platinum Elite status was immediately recognized and Omar asked us if we would like welcome bags with water and trail mix or 500 points. We opted for the points. I explained that we were actually staying for three nights, but I made a separate reservation for the third night since we were using reward points. Because the room type was different, Omar said he would do everything he could to allow us to stay in the same room all three nights. Because of the wait, he ended up giving us the welcome bags in addition to the points. On our second to last night, Maria was able to allow us to stay in the same room, which was very nice that we didn’t have to check-​out only to check back in.
We were on the 800 level, which meant we took elevator A to the 4^th floor… walked down the hall and around the corner to elevator B to the 8^th floor. Kind of weird but it was always quiet in our room so that was a plus. Breakfast was better than expected, especially with the pancake machine and the warm cinnamon rolls.
I took one star off because of the parking fee. It’s not $ 22 per night you stay there… it’s $ 22 per DAY. So, even though we checked out on Thursday at 10am, we were charged $ 22 for Thursday parking. Kind of crappy if you ask me. I’m all for tipping a valet; however, there was one time our car was right in the front so we could have just hopped in but the valet insisted on backing it out of the parking spot for us to work for the tip. Other than that, the hotel was great. We only took our car out twice since most of the touristy things were within walking distance.

I am a Platinum Elite at IHG hotels so I stay at Holiday Inns often because it is fairly priced and I like the option of a free morning breakfast. With that said, I was quite disappointed with this hotel. From the reviews and paying over $ 215 a night with $ 22 additional for parking, I expected to be wowed by this hotel… but it definitely disappointed. One of the few times Unilocal failed me. :(
The reviews mentioned premium breakfast so I thought, considering this location is in Hollywood, maybe the breakfast options had an upgrade. NOT. The breakfast buffet was like ANY holiday inn everywhere else. Eggs, sausage, pancakes, bagels, some fruits, some juice, yogurt. Typical breakfast for IHG hotels.
The gym was adequate but like all IHG gyms, it needed a huge upgrade. There wasn’t much air ventilation and I felt like I was suffocating while I was running the DREADmill. AND… they don’t have water available? The mornings that I went to the gym, I had to bring my own water. I thought that was a bit ridiculous considering water is the most essential part of a work out.
The pool looked clean and although I did plan on swimming, I didn’t get to because my days were too packed with other activities.
When we checked in, our rooms got upgraded, which wasn’t exactly a great thing at this Holiday Inn. They upgraded me to a room in level 7, and the way they designed the elevators in the hotel was very weird. You have to take two different elevators to get to the top floors with a few minutes of walking in between the elevators. Being on the top, I also expected some type of city view from my window but the room didn’t even have a view? It had a view of NOTHINGNESS. The room itself was very very spacious and clean though.
Overall, would I stay here again? Probably not.
