Hotels Near The Record Parlour in Los Angeles

Room 421, stayed 4 nights. Sept-Oct 2022. On arrival, we parked the car within the premises so we could check in then had to move the vehicle to a secure road behind the hotel which looked deserted/ shabby. On first appearance we thought the room was ok but we had been driving for 5 hours and only dropped the luggage into the room and went out to site see. On returning for our first nights sleep, we noticed 2 dried blood patches on the bed sheets. We checked out the rest of the room and noticed there was also hair in the bath plug, bathroom floor and bathroom bin. The fridge smelt like a mouldy cucumber and was dirty. There was a broken lamp in a cupboard. The TV sound kept playing up. We had only half a toilet roll only and no extras like you normally have in hotels. We highlighted the blood/ hair issue to an employee who was disgusted and immediately rectified the issue but also went on to call the cleaner stupid which I felt was inappropriate. We would’ve been happy with an apology and that they would investigate internally. We also had to ask for WiFi codes as these were not given at check in (which wasn’t an issue) and are unique to each user. We were provided 2 x 48hr codes. When these ran out, we asked for another 2 codes and the guy at reception was so defensive exclaiming he had already given us 5 days worth of codes (which he hadn’t) but reluctantly gave us new ones. There was a smoking room next to ours and smoking area outside the room also which seeped a strong smell of smoke into our bathroom/ bedroom often. One evening it was pretty cold and we tried to turn the heater on but this smelt like fire so we had to turn this off promptly. No one asked on check out if we were happy with our stay, they didn’t seem to care at all. It was an older gentlemen who took in our room keys and dealt with the WiFi situation. Pros - Location (1 block from Hollywood Boulevard) - Affordability Cons - Rude staff - Dirty property - Smelly - Insufficient parking spaces - Lack of working equipment - No plugs for sink or bath tub This hotel has so much potential. It needs a bit of TLC and some modernising to make this a really wonderful place to stay. Dependant on your tolerance levels, it is bearable as long as you don’t intend to stay in the room all day.

The room is clean and hygienic, and the surrounding scenery is good. Turn left one kilometer out of the hotel gate and you will see Disney. The photo was taken when we were staying at the hotel to catch up with the American Independence Day celebration fireworks. Recommended to friends who go to Disney

I expected a little because it said that breakfast was included, but it was too poor. Only a small loaf of bread and cereal came out. Drinks were orange and milk not 100%. The milk was also unsanitary mixed with water falling from the ceiling. My son had a stomach ache from the effects. The employees were kind and taught me a lot about the city. 

Best staff in Hollywood area: thanks to the caring staff members who made us felt coming home every time during our stay. Hotel facilities aren’t the most comprehensive but we are grateful to pick this hotel with one freeway exit away from Universal City. Best kitchen staff Marieta and Veronica filling us with energetic morning; good Anthoney who shuffled our cars around every day and night and always greeted us warmly by Taria at reception.

We booked a room through agoda for 4 persons. Website mentioned that breakfast is included in room rates. However NO breakfast was provided despite having paid for it. The front desk informed that due to covid there is no breakfast and NO refund was provided. Website information is totally misleading.... The room for 4 persons was basic but okay. On request, extra blankets and coffee pouches were provided. Room was cleaned daily. There was no closet. There is a microwave in common area which can be used on request from front desk. However the property is quite rundown and needs maintenance. The carpets are stained and linen is well worn out. Would do well to replace the linen and carpets. Most electric sockets don't work making phone charging a challenge. Wyndham really needs to do a quality control to make the property come up to its standards There are other options in the vicinity like the Hollywood inn which seemed better but as our room was non refundable, we had no choice.... The property is located two blocks from metro. There is a Target and a CVS nearby. The Thai town is two blocks away with good restaurants for Thai food. Location wise it is convenient but there are a lot of homeless people in the area. Some camp right opposite the property at night giving the area a rough look.

Stayed here to go to a show at the Greek Theatre. Room smelled and looked clean enough, but there were stains on the bedding, and we only had a sheet and not a blanket. By the time I realized it I was laying down to sleep and was too tired to call the front desk and ask for one. Free parking was a bonus. The fridge was nice and cold, but there aren't ice machines at the hotel. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. There is road noise ALL NIGHT LONG. AJ, who was working the front desk, was very nice and helpful. Overall, for the price and the reason we were there, it worked!

The one incident that nearly ruined my stay at CitizenM was the aggressive sprinkler inspection. I was not notified by email, phone, nor physical note about an inspection. At 9:15am, I was awoken by banging on my guest room door. I went to the door to see two men continuing to bang on the door, saying that they needed immediate access to check on equipment. Everything I've been taught about hotel safety was to NOT open the door to unidentified men. I told them everything in the room was fine and that I would be checking out within the hour. They continued to insist that I immediately open the door, which started to frighten me. I told them I was going to call the front desk to check if they were sent by the hotel. I was surprised that one of the men responded in an angry manner saying, ”FINE, GO AHEAD AND CALL THE FRONT DESK!” The woman at the front desk apologized, said that she too had just found out about the inspection, and said that the men were indeed authorized to inspect the sprinklers. I opened the door and they did a quick inspection. I did not appreciate the aggressive, unprofessional manner in which they demanded entry into my room. Other than that, the rest of my experience was excellent!

Entrance and lobby is quite nice and modern, the rooms are exactly the opposite. Although is does the job after a long travelday, the room was very outdated. Bed was pretty good I must say. Also the fire alarm sounded twice in the middle of the night. The gave us complementary breakfast as a compensation but only after a making a complaint. Location is pretty good. Near aiport and near Rental cars (10 min walk) The fitness room is ok. Outdated, but still does the job.

Great experience! Service was excellent and hotel amenities were more than satisfactory. Will definitely be going back

Perfect place for a shuttle airport hotel! Shuttle very 15 minutes and a great place to prepare for a trip. Pool and bar is nice. Spent way more on drinks and food than I imagined but not much around… it was fair in the end. Great bar staff.
