"This place is amazing! All around good vibes, so don't believe any of the bad reviews you see on this place. I was the one who had a little bit too much to drink that night and unfortunately I thought I was already in my long-term Airbnb. I was blocked out drunk and I walked around naked when I wasn't supposed to. I take full responsib."

Top Southern California Hotel Reviews

Loews Hollywood Hotel

Loews Hollywood Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was decently clean. Not the cleanest hotel room I’ve been in. The room and hotel itself was nothing very special. The area is very loud, constant sirens from emergency vehicles during all hours. Not sure if the room walls are thin or if our neighbors were just deaf, because their t.v was extremely loud all night long. The staff was terrific! Kind, friendly and helpful. Beds were comfy. Hotel restaurants were very good, both for breakfast buffet and for dinner. The location was extremely convenient for us. Parking was convenient and also a great price. Everything was within walking distance, no need to use our car during our stay."
