The Hotel Hollywood is an interesting place; beautiful historic building in the center of the Hollywood tourist area, but on a street dominated by apartment buildings. The Hotel was constructed in the 1920's and does not have an elevator but is restored to a very nice level of comfort. *THE GOOD - Nice lady on the desk in the morning, helpful and accommodating. Good Price considering the area Great rooms, clean well appointed, with bathrooms showers that have a bench to sit on while you shower. Nice linens and towels and bath amenities Halls / public areas nicely decorated and maintained. Great Housekeeping, staff was extremely nice. Individual AC / Heating unit performed well; comfortable room. Water was hot, good water pressure - does take time to heat up. Great Location with a pretty good Diner across the street * THE NOT SO GOOD No drink machine, water, breakfast or snacks No Desk Person at night - security issue - we had a "Night Visitor" knock on our door at 3:30AM and there was no one on property. we enjoyed our room at the Hotel Hollywood; definitely a historic gem that could use a little improvement but provides a good price value proposition. I think the owner should consider a night clerk / night auditor for Security and added service. Night people are adept at following guests into any Hotel entrance, bypassing the door's security code protection. I cannot express the feeling I got when I heard a knocking at 3:30AM, then looked through the eye portal to see a masked young man in a hoody! When I told him to leave, he did so immediately; however the Hotel is a delight otherwise - thanks to the staff for a nice stay.
