I would blame hotwire more then this motel
When a website like hotwire puts me there saying its a 3 star hotel, and it turns out to be a 1.5 star motel, we got a problem. If i went to this motel expecting a motel, i would just say I got what i paid for. Here is why its NOT a 3 star hotel and rather a 1.5 star or MAYBE 2 star motel.
First, Dixie Hollywood Hotel was the DAYS INN....that should already ring alarm bells.......had I paid Motel price for this place, I probably wouldnt have posted a review, but this is to WARN hotwire customers that if you are getting sold a 3 star hotel in hollywood, you MIGHT get this place, which will truly disappoint you. 
Lets start with the location. This place is located on the east side of Hollywood, which will tell you its not the best part Hollywood has to offer. When you pull up in this motel, thats exactly what the surroundings are. It is NOT a hotel, if you go to "answers.com" here is what a motel is defined: Answer
A motel, was derived as a combination of the words "motor hotel," is best described as a one or two story structure with rooms that open to the exterior of the building, usually surrounded by a common balcony or patio.
A hotel has rooms that open to the interior of the building, along a hallway, and is multi-storied.
Definitely not a HOTEL. Anyway, I check in and received the room next to their outdoor laundromat which with my luck, was laundry day since there were a couple of people using the facility. Since the walls and doors were paper thin, I can hear their conversations. Fortunately, I was leaving to my event, so I didnt have to hear why they took "Happy Days" off the air. But before I left, I went to my bathroom, to notice the moldy dirty sink that my 3 star MOTEL had for me. I had to brush my teeth in the shower because I didnt want any bacteria to grow on my tooth brush or tooth paste.
When I arrived back at the MOTEL, all the parking spaces were full except for the registration spot. I parked there and notified the night clerk that I would be parking there. He decides its a perfect time to argue since its 3am. He told me that I cannot park there because it would be inconvenient for people who want to check in, but go ahead and park at the handicap spot. That made a lot of sense...lol, he doesnt want to inconvenience people who may want to check in, but go ahead and take up the handicap space of someone who may actually need the convenience to park there. I told him I did not feel comfortable taking up a handicap spot both morally and for the safety of my car (what if this clown leaves and forgets to tell the person taking over his shift that he allowed me to park there??). After 15 minutes of trying to convince me to park there and that it wont get towed or whatever, he decides to prove to me that its ok to park there by removing his car from one of the spaces that I could have parked in and to park there. I asked why didnt you do this in the first place?? he just ignored me and went back to his indoor MOTEL lobby. However, if it means anything, IF i KNEW what i was purchasing, I would have given it a 1.5 or 2 stars to be fair, but hotwire said i was getting a 3 star hotel and to me, thats false advertising.
