Best Western Hollywood Plaza Inn Hotel - Hollywood Walk of Fame LA

Basic hotel with all the amenities you need for a short stay. Only a 10 minute walk from Hollywood Boulevard, Walk of Fame, and Metro. ||The hotel is safe and secure, despite the area feeling a bit sketchy. The staff were welcoming, professional, and trustworthy. They stored all our luggage securely on our last day as our flight wasn't until late at night. ||The driveway out the front has ample room for you to arrive and depart by Uber.

Good motel, nice central location 10 minute walk to the key shopping area. Really great staff so friendly and courteous. Only gripe adjoining room walls are thin, we had noisy neighbours who liked to make noise between 1 and 3 am. Otherwise recommended location to stay

We reserved an accessible king Jacuzzi room for our trip to a Hollywood Bowl show. I don't think we were given an accessible room, even though my wheelchair fit in the room, because the wheelchair did not fit in the bathroom, and I risked injury getting in and out of the Jacuzzi, which both my husband and I needed at the end of each day due to pain conditions. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was incredibly loud though, with all the traffic noise and the clattering from the café kitchen below. Thankfully, the noise from the air conditioner was like a white noise machine that helped drown some of that out. The location can't be beat if you're attending a show at the Hollywood Bowl or strolling the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as both are within easy walking distance...as long as you're not pushing a wheelchair uphill or self-propelling a manual wheelchair. The hotel is not far from the paid parking lots for these attractions, and actually closer to the Hollywood Bowl than some event parking lots. As for on-site parking, we paid $20/day for our rental vehicle, which was a reasonable price. But parking is very limited and extremely tight. If you are not experienced at parking in tight spaces, you're going to have a hard time. Our room did not get cleaned the entire length of our stay, which was four nights. We didn't leave our room until about noon most days, but most hotels do send housekeeping back to service rooms that they couldn't get into at some point in the afternoon. I used to work in a hotel, and this would have been unacceptable for the housekeeping staff. I blame hotel policy more than the housekeeping staff for this oversight. Overall, we picked the best hotel for the price and location we needed...and the Jacuzzi. But if you're disabled, be aware they might not give you an accessible room even when that's what you booked. We got in so late at night, with so much pain and exhaustion, that we didn't have it in us to go back to the desk to see about getting a different room. I could only do that because I am able to transfer out of my wheelchair and walk short distances, but it would have been unworkable if my mobility was more limited.

The staff is so kind and treat you like royalty. I am so impressed with how welcome they make you feel. The beds are comfy. The pool is always clean and spa. Safe parking. Central location to Hollywood and Highland. Rooms are very clean. I highly recommended!

I must admit, it wasn't quite what I anticipated. It is more motel than a hotel. The room was adequate, but the pillows were mini pillows and flat. The bedding was less than ideal, lacking a fitted sheet and a proper blanket. Instead, there was a mattress protector, several flat sheets, and a thin throw blanket.

I was looking for a nice place with a pool and friendly professional staff. All of that at an affordable price- and that’s just what I got! Also- you cannot beat the location! I would recommend and would love to return!

Excellent customer service... super friendly and helpful staff from front desk personnel to room attendants. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Food in the restaurant was delicious! I would most definitely stay at this location again.

At checkin, we were told "since you're a Best Western Rewards member - we've given you a complimentary upgrade to a Deluxe Room." This was exciting to hear! BUT!!! The room we were given (216) was old, ugly and dirty. The bed was hard. The walls were stained. The floors left my socks black. The AC unit woke me up throughout the night. The USB charging port by the bed was broken. There was NO view out the window - had to keep the shades closed to prevent folks walking by from peering in.

This spot is excellent for location, location and location!!! I would say it's the perfect spot so close to the Hollywood Bowl. It's definitely less than a 10 min walk depending on the crowds. Also the room itself is clean and beds are very comfortable. We were a bit further back in the building so it wasn't as noisy as Highland can be. I slept great and appreciated the cleanliness and ease with parking overnight. I felt safe and customer service was great as usual. Highly recommend and I'm sure I'll stay here again in the future! Oh and bonus the Mexican restaurant downstairs right next to where you check in was definitely delicious and I enjoyed it all!

Love the location. Would be nice if they Put wet paint signs on railings. Kind of annoying

Not even gonna read the bad reviews. This is an awesome spot. Got the mini fridge and microwave, hotel-brand body wash/shampoo/etc that's actually good quality it seems, and daily room service what! I wasn't expecting a made bed when I came home. Motel 6 does it every three days cuz people basically live there. But this is where I live for now due to temporary displacement and it's great. It's not my favorite location right by grand tourist station in Hollywood but I'm far enough away from all these people. And they have a pool here! And I'm pretty sure it's open! I didn't look because I have my dogs with me which is another nice thing about here, they allow animals. Feel like a millionaire staying here tbh. And there is always parking. Oh and, and, they have a ton of vending machines and they're not a complete rip off.

Overall, decent stay while visiting Hollywood Bowl. Parking was around 22-25 and hotel pricing was standard pricing. I have stayed at Holiday Inn twice two other times. No breakfast here and parking decent pricing. Pros: Closest to Hollywood Bowl Pricing was not 50+ Water pressure nice Cons: Small spots Average room No hotel mini store Rooms can get stuffy and air conditioner turns off and on No bells and whistles but would stay here again.

Great location. We stay here every time we go to a concert at the bowl. The staff is always exceptionally nice! Room is always clean. Highly recommend.

It is hard to conceive of a better value for a hotel in the central Hollywood area. As long as you are a BW rewards member, which is an easy online enrollment, you will get rates that are definitely on the low end of the price range. I was told that this would also get us free parking at the hotel, although I was later told that was for gold and platinum members only. However since I was not told that the first time I inquired, they did give us free parking for our stay. It is a basic hotel and somewhat aged, but it is comfortable. The rooms come with fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. There are also good vending machines at the hotel, and a restaurant on premises (no free breakfast though). It is 10 minutes or less to walk to the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and Hyland Ave. The best thing about the hotel though is the staff. They are supremely hospitable. We visited during the fires and actually had to evacuate for a night, after we had checked in and settled into the room. We were able to return the next day, and they waved the charges for the previous night, even asking us if we wanted room service before we went back into the room. Since we had hardly been in the room, we declined, but it was a kind offer. There are lower-priced hotels in the central Hollywood area, but having done some extensive research, I would say this is the best value, provided you get the rewards member rates. The free parking may have been contingent on it being a slow time for tourists, but if you get that too, you will surely be getting your money's worth.

We had a great stay here... We had a concert at the Hollywood bowl recently, and stayed here, one for the points and two because it is close to the concert. The hotel looks older...the style of it, but our room was large, clean and had upgraded amenities. The room had a large TV, safe and small fridge. The hotel has 3 floors, with an elevator at each end. We also noticed there was an ice machine on each floor. The location is amazing. We walked to the Hollywood Bowl from here in about 10 minutes. And, after, we walked down the Hollywood area by Roosevelt Hotel in about 20 minutes. A great hotel.

Location location! great if you have a Hollywood bowl event that evening since it is walking distance, the hotel was subpar. The room kind of smelled like cigarettes and medicine piss. Not too pungent, but it was noticeable to my senses. I guess I didn't expect much for Hollyweird at this price range.

Honestly this place wasn't so bad. We only stayed for one night. We went to Universal Studios which was only a 6 minute drive away. The room was clean and quaint. The bed was comfortable. The pillows however were too soft and had no support. The bathroom was clean and the shower pressure was great. The only issue is the noise from the street. You can hear people arguing and yelling out front. I'm also assuming it's buses and semi trucks hitting the potholes out front which causes the entire building to shake and windows to rattle. This can definitely disrupt sleep for some. Parking was $22 a night. The parking is very compact. I'm surprised my car fit in some of the spaces. The staff was friendly. Overall I wouldn't mind staying here again. I'll just bring my own pillows next time.

Front desk is very professional and knowledgeable about hotel policies and amenities! The rooms are fully equipped with microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and even an end of bed ottoman! Standard amenities at this hotel include swimming pool, jacuzzi, laundry room, restaurant, ice & vending! The location of the hotel is conveniently located next to Hollywood walk of fame and it's a hive of activity! Not complaints here are there is a $50 deposit required at check in! No fitness center!

Avoid. Not recommended. Find somewhere else to stay. Long story short: No hot water, soaps and shampoo dispensers were empty. Maids took our belongings and rude and incompetent staff (particularly one young lady who's name begins with J).

A decent place to stay, especially if you're going to a show at the Hollywood Bowl (which we were). The room has a Keurig, refrigerator and small microwave. No breakfast offered at this Best Western. The parking was easy to get in and out of. The room was clean. AC worked fine. No bed bugs. The pillow cases were a bit scratchy, but okay. We were on the top floor, which I greatly appreciated...no one stomping on the floor above us. It can get a little bit noisy...in the mornings around 7ish the garbage trucks, etc come around. Also, we had some talkative neighbors going to their room at about 11 p.m. So, if you stay here...be courteous to others and keep your voices down when going to your room.

Great location! Close to all major Hollywood attractions! Nicely appointed rooms, Neely redone, very clean, great water pressure from shower!

Always have great experiences with Best Western. I was a little nervous about booking a room in Hollywood because it's so hard to predict what you're going to get but overall, everything was great about my stay. It's right on the outskirts of the really busy area so location was great, room was clean, staff was friendly. The parking is a little tight and I was a little bummed about having to pay for parking, but to be expected in a busy area. Also used the pool and jacuzzi which are well regulated and maintained. This is a great option for not paying a ton of money and still being really close to the sites to be seen in Hollywood.

Hands down to the friendliest most welcoming person ever. Christina we love you. Room was stupendous! :)

I'm on board with this place for bowl shows. I fly in from the bay on cattle-car air. Car-hire to the hotel from Mr. Hope airport. And then I'm done! You just walk back to bed after the show. Or you grab a car to the Rainbow on Sunset and close the show out, with some A+ stuffed mushrooms and a well drink. Clean rooms. No mattress complaints at all. Didn't hear any rowdies,..maybe we just got lucky. But it was quiet. No weird plumbing issues. Sheets smelled washed. Place could be demo'd as a business decision, but what they have totally works. Mexican place in the lobby has surprisingly good food! Check it out. If I lived in L.A., I'd have season tickets to the bowl, and this place on speed dial.

Over all a really good hotel, Clean rooms & comfortable. The pool was perfect on a hot day and the food was good!

This review is for the hotel and their AMAZING front desk hostess. After calling numerous places to book a hotel last minute at 9pm at night while still trying to get a fair price i came across calling this place. Christina answered the phone with a nice warm welcome and ensured the pricing on their website is what it will be when I come in and if it changed she was willing to price match. I came in and the booking was smooth, just the hospitality and the willing to make their customers happy is beyond what you see in this world. She definitely made my experience at best western great ! I will definitely be booking again.

Only a few mins away from Universal Studios, quick access to the highway and or backroads (frontage rd) to avoid the freeway congestion. Lots of traffic in front of the hotel at times, but people were kind enough to let us through going in and out. Parking is plentiful but tight, would not recommend a truck/suburban with a roof rack. Rooms are clean and had comfy beds, kurig, microwave and mini fridge available in our room. Missing a nice fluffy comforter tho. I like sleeping under a heavy blanket and having just thin multiple sheets wasn't as relaxing. Do recommend if you're looking for wallet friendly lodging.

Clean. Nice pool area. Staff was nice fairly priced. Great location Will be back it had microwave n fridge too

Illegal handicapped parking i have been telling them about. I had no choice but to reverse and caused damage to my truck because of their incompetent staffing and management. The manager reserved handicap spot for his Maserati and not myself who is handicapped. This place is a joke.

We reserved four rooms. They were all clean and had very good customer service from the employees. They're within a 20 minute walk to the Walk of Fame. The tub and bathroom area were spotless!

Great location, especially if you like the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Hollywood Bowl. Universal Studios is a very short drive away. The staff is courteous and helpful and the rooms are clean and quiet. Breakfast is not complimentary but there is a nice cafe near the lobby. All in all it's worth the price.

Parking was charged extra for daily stay. Although parking lot is in the property. The hot water in the shower was not working during our first day. No room service and the room was not cleaned nor towels switched during our stay. No smart tv. The restaurant downstairs next door is terrible and over priced. Don't stay here.

My husband And I stayed at this hotel last weekend for an overnight trip- we went to see the 93.5 comedy show for our anniversary. Our stay was wonderful,staff was great the room was just right for the amount we paid and the area it was in. At check in the attendant waived our parking fee of $18 due to it been our anniversary. Parking spots were a bit small if you have an oversized vehicle- we didn't so we were good. It was right on the main strip in walking distance of restaurants and the mall. It was right down the street from the Hollywood Bowl. The room was cozy and just right for the night. The only con about the room was the bed was not that comfortable could have been softer. Shower was amazing, water nice and hot and the shower head had multiple settings. No Bed Bugs!! We definitely would stay again and recommend it to others.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THiS PLACE!!!! Horrible stay . Over priced. Half the light and pull in don't work bathtub didn't drain. No trash cans the pool water felt like we swamp water . When checking out they charged my husband card before we even left the hotel! The employee was very very rude and snooty.

This place was last minute but agusto took care of us. He was amazing. Made sure we were good.

I rent this hotel two days on March 3rd and 4th 2022, I paid $409 in advance for these days including my two days staying and parking. When I got there to check in. They asked me for $90 extra $20 parking for each day I was staying and $50 deposit because I rent a non-smoking room and if I smoke they would keep my $50. I rented non-smoking room because I had my two kids OF COURSE I DID NOT SMOKE. When I check out on March 5th. At 10:35 am I asked for my $50 back and the man in front counter told me you'll get it back tomorrow. I called twice to the hotel for my $50 back and they told me, that my money was already returned but THAT IS A BIG LIE Until this day March 19th 2022 I haven't received any money back. I called my credit card bank and they said nothing from Best Western have been returned. I TELL YOU PEOPLE. THIS BEST WESTERN HOTEL HOLLYWOOD IS A NON TRUSTING-PLACE THEY WILL CHARGE YOU ON LINE AND THEN THEY WILL ASK FOR MORE MONEY WHEN YOU. CHECK IN AT THE HOTEL. AND WON"t GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK. .

Stayed on our vacation to universal studios and it was good and comfortable. And also affordable. Will stay here again.

We had issues at a hotel we had just checked in to and needed to find a new place to stay for our trip. It was 1:30am and Christian was super helpful getting us a room. We originally booked for just that night to get the kids back to bed. In the morning I extended our stay there as we really liked the hotel. Throughout out 3 night stay there were friends and accommodating.

Good spot for a good value if you're visiting LA and want to focus your sightseeing around the Hollywood/DTLA area. Or if you're like me, and you actually already live in LA, but want to have a few drinks before during and after a show at the Hollywood Bowl without fear of a DUI, this is the perfect spot for you as well. Fair pricing, decent rooms, and walking distance to the Bowl--hard to beat!

Stayed overnight recently while attending a concert at the Hollywood bowl. The location Is extremely convenient. The room was clean. Checking in and out was easy. All staff members including the small restaurant were very kind, friendly and professional. Only complaint is the bedding is very thin. Other than that the stay was great for a night.

I was very doubtful of giving this place a review but it needed to be said. I stayed at this hotel this past week with my friend as a girls getaway. Rooms are nice and clean but the way a lead maid treated the other maids is terrible. Her name was Reina as said in her name tag. She was yelling at one of the more elderly looking maids without a name tag which I'm sad I didn't get her name. Point is the lead maid was overly rude and degrading her way of cleaning the rooms. This is disgusting on how this hotel allows this worker Reina to treat her coworkers like that. No worker should be treated like this and this needs to change. It's 2023 people should stop feeling like they're above anyone.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel near the center of Hollywood,I highly recommend this hotel. It's not luxurious but what you'll get is a clean room, friendly and helpful staff and a great location with parking I wasn't sure what to expect but our stay was very comfortable...plus restaurant on prem which has a variety of tasty food if you don't feel like going anywhere. Would recommend!

Very friendly staff at check in. The room was clean and perfect for seeing a show at the Hollywood Bowl without having to drive home. It was a quick walk there and back. There was no hot water in the morning unfortunately which would be a concern if you were staying longer than a night.

This hotel is in close walking distance to Hollywood Bowl and at a good price. Pros: Close to Hollywood Bowl Good neighbor to hang out in with shopping and restaurants. Good price Felt safe and secure Cold fridge so you can store your own drinks Keurig so bring your Kcups Good amount of power plugs accessible to charge devices Good free WiFi Comfortable firm mattress Cons: Very noisy - outside noise came through walls and window AC unit is very loud and the lack of insulation in the walls meant it was on/off all night. Bathroom cheaply done Shower difficulties in keeping it working while using Bathroom fan was useless and did not exhaust the steam

Don't mind the hotel but the women who work the desk must absolutely hate their lives judging by how miserable they are to assist guests in any way whatsoever. I'm sorry you don't like your job but you made the choice to work here - please don't make everyone's experience unpleasant just because you're not able to put on a smile and pretend to even remotely not hate your job and your paying customers. Man, I can't remember the last time i was treated so badly by Anyone in the customer service industry - I've been a waitress and a dancer and ive worked retail and despite not always loving my job you'd be hard pressed to find any customer that ever got that impression. I wish these ladies would realize that "faking it til you make it" applies to enjoying your job and being interested in making guests feel welcome. I hope neither of the girls working today (at 2:50pm) are management because if so - you got way bigger issues than just disgruntled employees that enjoy making guests feel less than or belittled. Probably the last time I'm staying here and will make sure that I do not recommend this average hotel with terrible customer service reps to anyone I know again. Might not make a difference to them but with so many options of hotels on one block it's an easy choice to stay anywhere that I'm not made to feel unwelcome. ***UPDATE: THIS PLACE IS TRASH. After posting my review they started calling my room every hour asking if everything was okay just to mess with me. And I tried to extend but they wouldn't accept any of my cards because of various reasons - one of them Because it didn't have a chip even though I have my id with me with clearly matching names. Then their atm In the lobby doesn't work so they sent me walking down highland Blvd to find an atm which by the time I did find one they refused to let me extend because I am now late to extend even though I initially was on time but they wouldn't accept my cards. This place is awful: I'll never stay here again. And I'll do everything in my Power to make sure no one I know in hollywood does either.

If I could leave this place a negative 20 stars I would. It looks like they bought an old motel, and didn't renovate it at all. Air conditioner leaking outside, they had buckets under it. The fridge didn't keep anything cold. As we found out since our friend put it to the test, It was better kept cold if you put it on the air conditioner. I called the front desk asking for towels, shampoo, and toilet paper. The employee picks up and says to me "uh, there's a front desk." He was so rude. Like I didn't mind that I had to walk down to get my stuff but he could've said it in a different way. It didn't make sense though because there was a placard in the room saying to just call if you need anything, so why would they advertise that and then say the opposite. Not to mention my friend was also bit 5 times while she was sleeping. The next day, we're in the lobby and there's a couple at the front desk. We hear the guy say "but you told me $275 on the phone" and the employee said "we're charging you the $375 because you're arguing" I also understand places being short staffed but there was this employee that had a different job each day we were there. We came back from dinner and there were a few spots left in the parking lot for the hotel. The "valet" asked our friend if he wanted to park his car for him. Even before our friend gave an answer the "valet" guy started reaching for the car. Our friend declined and said "I'll park it myself" The parking lot has very tight spaces. The pools at "Motel 6" look a whole lot better and cleaner than the one at this so called hotel. There was no way I was going in there. Also, last but not least, let's just say there was interesting night life from what we could see looking down from our room.

Worst hotel I have stayed at and I usually love best western hotels. Beds were so uncomfortable that I didn't get not even an hr sleep after getting there exhausted from a day at universal studios. Room smelled really bad, dirty, and the manager is very unprofessional. Don't get me started on parking. The area itself is very creepy. I don't recommend this BW at all.

Bed hurt our backs pretty bad it is really hard. Special thanks to the moron who double parked in parking lot we had a hard time getting out. The front desk said it was a worker not even on site. INCONSIDERATE..... Good thing we got out or we would have called the tow truck.

amazing! highly recommended. VERY CLEAN!!! Amazing customer service, ZULY helped me so much!

This hotel is off the Hollywood blvd, it is a budget place pretty standard rooms, a pool and a Jacuzzi that is not available for use which sucks because you are still getting billed the same amount. This location does not have free breakfast but they do have a diner. I really disliked that they charge you 20 dollars a night to park. All in all it was ok for the 2 nights we had to stay it served its purpose but I will not come back to the location.

I gave it four stars because I feel like the hotel did a great job! First when walking into our room it smelled like smoke and we are non smokers, I called the front desk and they moved us right away. However, the place from the outside does look a little sketchy, but the inside of the room was nice ! We saw a cleaning lady also and you can tell they absolutely Clean from top to bottom !! The hotel however does seem to attract some sketchy people lol and I did feel a little unsafe at times, but that's not the hotels fault. Over all enjoyed it.

The management is great and keeps their cool during this chaotic time in the bustling heart of Hollywood. It's safe, clean, and welcoming.

I stayed here on a weekend trip to party in Hollywood. Despite It looking like one of those motels where they find the bodies floating in the pool in an episode of Dexter, it got the job done. My friends and I just needed a place which was in walking distance to the clubs to get ready at and come back and sleep. Check, Check and Check. There is free wifi and the housekeeping gave us everything we asked for.

I've stayed here a number of times and I'm not sure what happened. They have "NO SMOKING" signs hanging all over the property, yet half the staff smokes and they don't regulate smokers. Hotel guests were smoking all over the property. My room actually reeked of smoke and had the battery of the smoke detector taken out. They did rectify that situation. The neighbor was so loud and seemed to have "girlfriends" over. They played music outside, I called the front desk and they said they would come out but they were still disturbing. Seems like this hotel went to a MO-tell status real quick. No thanks.

Bed 1/5 Mattress was firm (rating 5 for soft and 1 for hard) Room 4/5 Room was clean. Desk area and clock. Room has a flat screen TV, not many of outlets, wall unit AC, refrigerator and microwave. Shower warmed up quick, decent pressure and drained well. Proximity 4/5 Close to the Hollywood Boulevard, Dolby Theatre, Mann's Chinese Theater Price $$ Overall -Free Internet-but it does not work very well. Nightly charge for parking. Restaurant at hotel If booked at the right time this place is a steal for the area. Be careful to check if it is a smoking or non-smoking room.

I went the cheaper route this time in hopes to try and lower my standards a bit. I am normally a Hilton or Hyatt girl. But, since we had plans to go to universal I wanted to budget. But, in hindsight, I wish I would have just stayed 2 hotels down at the Hilton. I guess I am not ready to go low budget. Honestly, the room wasn't that bad looking. When we first went into our room I could not believe the amount of HEAVY perfume coming from the cleaning supplies/room spray they use. I went down to the lobby and they Kindly (enough) gave me a different room. They weren't super friendly but not rude either. Just your typical young person that is more interested in getting back to their phone. The new room still had a really strong smell like fabuloso or pine sol. I have never been to a hotel that uses scented products. That should be a no brainer. If I could have canceled and found another room I would have because I am sensitive to that kind of thing. Comfortable BED. So, the POOL pretty much SUCKS! my kids were NOT impressed. The AC is loud but I am okay with that. But, I wasn't able to run it full time. There is no option to keep it on. That would have helped me drown out the noise from alley that we were on. This hotel is SUPER noisy. Its old. I get it. The lady at the happy hour place down stairs was really sweet. All in all, we survived. But, I would not stay there again. I can still smell the fabreeze, fabuloso or pinesol on everything we own! ha ha Best Western- you may want to change the cleaning/deodorizer supplies.

Nice, clean, comfortable. Bed is not queen size so kinda too small for two people to share. Fridge, microwave... However fridge was not on when we checked in. Spice Cafe downstairs with ok breakfast. Had two eggs, toast, bacon, 2 small Pancakes, and water for $15.30... Because i was starving. Parking is super tight and I did damage my car backing out. TONS of traffic trying to get in and out of this place. It's walking distance to Hollywood Blvd... About ten min walk in semi-safe area. Paid a taxi $5 at night. Parking each car at hotel Cost $15 per car.
