The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
This renovated hotel provides a reliable home base in the heart of Hollywood within walking distance of major area sights. Guests appreciate the crisp rooms, effective air conditioning, and accommodating staff who offer a generous noon check-out. However, sleep quality is compromised by consistently squishy, flat pillows, and guests note the in-room coffee pods are subpar. 91110

80- “And when you book this hotel through them, then they currently include free daily breakfast for two adults and two kids under 12. And that can save a family quite a bit, especially on a Disneyland trip. Plus, I just finished eating and it was delicious.” 165:44
- “I did get to grab some drinks and snacks from the 24-hour Pavilion Pantry which was convenient as well as enjoy a yummy breakfast including crispy bacon at the Great American Grill.” 7
Location
90- “Location is everything when you're visiting Los Angeles, and this hotel delivers. You are positioned perfectly to experience the glamour of Hollywood, yet you are also just a convenient 30-minute drive from the airport, making your arrival and departure entirely seamless and hassle-free.” 15
- “Located in the heart of Hollywood where going to all the famous sites is just a short stroll outside of the hotel including the infamous Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame!” 7
Noise
91- “I didn't hear much noise at night while sleeping, but then again I was there on a Sunday night.” 11
Room
79- “I love it when hotels have a full-length mirror. This is the two queen room, so we have course the two queen beds. It smells amazing in here. It looks so clean and comfortable. I'm really excited to stay here.” 162:05
- “From the spacious room down to the nice comfy bed, I had no trouble getting comfortable when it was time to lay my weary head at night.” 7
Service
84- “One of my frequent stops while being a road warrior was a very well-run Hilton Garden Inn located at the convention center in Florence, SC. They always exceeded my expectations for service and hospitality, even during the COVID mess” 13
- “The air conditioning is working so good. It's nice and cold in here, which I appreciate cuz it is so hot here in California right now.” 162:20
Bed & Sleep
82- “The Serta Perfect Sleeper bed was comfortable, but the pillows were too squishy/flat for me.” 11
Value
75- “Now they do have a shuttle option that serves this area which is so awesome. There is a small fee but it picks up right near the hotel and it runs about every 30 minutes starting at 7:15 a.m. So it's very convenient and really makes this hotel stand out because they make it easy to get to Disneyland even though they're not like right across the street and I love easy.” 161:02
- “It's usually more expensive than, say, a Hampton, but it doesn't offer me anything of significance to justify the price. There's one that I like in Denver, but that's purely because it's in easy walking distance of Union Station.” 13
