"The Historic Hollywood Hotel was by far my most favorite hotel on our trip! We arrived at the hotel during shift change but the staff still greeted us immediately and asked if we would mind waiting until they finished the shift change. We, of course, did not mind at all. While checking in we asked if we could possibly have a room where we could see the Hollywood sign from and though they could not guarantee it they gave us a room that we would have a good chance. The hotel is decorated with so many pictures of actors and actresses as well as pictures of Hollywood’s history! So many pictures, not enough time! I have to say that one of my favorite things about this hotel is the elevator! It is so small it only holds 3 people! I stood in the middle of it, put my arms out to the side and could literally reach both walls! I’m only 5’3 so that’s saying something. When it came time for us to leave we mentioned that we had never seen the Hollywood sign before except on tv. The lady at the front desk, please forgive me I don’t remember her name, told up where we could go to see it better and be close enough to get some good pictures and selfies. She also gave us a suggestion for a route to our next destination that would take longer but if we weren’t in a hurry would be worth the drive. She was right! We had a beautiful drive along the coast up to San Jose! When we plan our next trip to the Hollywood area we will definitely stay at this hotel again! We highly recommend it! 100% happy!"
