Worst Hotel I've Stayed At.....
My mother, son and I took a chance on this hotel as it was in the right location. Upon arriving at the hotel the amount of vagrants hanging out in front should have been an indicator of how highly rated the hotel was. The gentlemen at the check in counter was very pleasant and allowed me to park my car there so that we could spend the day at Universal Studios and take the train over. 
The location of the hotel was perfect. Just a short walk to Hollywood/Highland were we were able to catch a train for $1.50 for adults and $.25 cents for seniors. Can't beat that deal. By the time we got back to the hotel we were exhausted and checked in pretty quickly. The guy at the front desk again was very pleasant.
The room was nothing to write home about. The TV reception was not great, there were rings in the sink and bathtub and it was a bare bones hotel, but we knew this going in. We just needed a place to rest our heads and get some sleep. This is where it got bad.
Turns out that we were placed right between a couple of rooms that decided it would be great to stay up and fight all night. Between the yelling and slamming of doors it was almost impossible to sleep. A call to the front desk was of no help. Obviously the two gentlemen that I had encountered earlier in the day had gone home and been replaced by someone who just didn't seem to care. He gave me an obligatory, "I'll see what I can do." He obviously couldn't do much because for at least another two hours the same cycle went on. This was exactly the same with our second night, only this night we got an added in guitar playing drunk who couldn't carry a tune for the life of him. Calls to the front desk again did no good.
I guess it stands to reason we will not be staying here again. Maybe this is for you, but it wasn't my idea of a good night's sleep.
