Back packer hostel at hotel prices
With no knowledge of LA we booked here as it looked ok on Booking .com. Don't stay here, there is no security the area is dicey it's opposite a used car lot and a massage parlour. Groups of black youths roam the streets so the restaurants close in the evening and there are only takeaways that deliver. Our room was on the landing overlooking a cloudy pool, the sheets were mould stained the air conditioning was old and noisy and the street noise incessant. We arrived at 9 at night and had left at 9 the next day and no they didn't give us a refund for the subsequent night. We moved to the Raddison by the airport which was in a far more accessible location as the airport is near beaches and tours leave from the hotel.
The Hollywood City has no security right open to the street and Sunset Boulevard is near but it's 23 miles long and obviously this hotel is at the wrong end! The breakfast which is included is pick up a croissant and a cup of coffee from reception and eat sitting on your bed in your room as there are very limited hard seats round the grimy pool.
