Top El Capitan Theatre Hotel Reviews

Whisky Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice sized rooms for being in Hollywood near a lot of sites. The staff was very friendly and everything was clean. They even offer you a free shot of Whiskey after check in to lean into the theme. The $40 parking can be dissuading but parking isn’t cheap or always the safest nearby. Rooftop breakfast was small and perfect. Would stay again."

Samesun Hollywood - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"I recommend this hostel, definitely going to stay here again."

The Hollywood Roosevelt

10/10 Excellent

"Love staying here whenever we are in LA. Service is great"

Loews Hollywood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, quiet rooms, lovely pool."

Motel 6 Hollywood

8/10 Good

"Very basic room but all the essentials. Check in is a bit strange as you don’t talk to the person 5ft away at the desk but someone on a tv screen (couldn’t tell if real or AI) as you scan passport / ID docs. Overall, fine stay & good location for Hollywood blvd."

W Hollywood

10/10 Excellent

"I asked the front desk was there an microwave in the facility, within 5 minutes I had one being delivered to my room! Top tier! 10/10. Great location also. Wonderful customer service."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Hollywood Walk of Fame by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff are helpful"

Hollywood VIP Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall a decent choice. If you've got a vehicle that is long, this may not be the place for you. In addition, they charge $30/day for parking and that really disclosed. Being that there is no other place to park, it should be front and center in their advertising. Also if my chance you find a space in the front, they make you prepare parking for entire stay up front. That's not fair. The first couple days the Wi-Fi worked great. I'm went out around midnight on said 3. I went down to dusk we asked to have the Wi-Fi modem reset a router in the person working the desk looked at me and said no it's not our problem. I said repectfully, it is... No it's not, you must have entered wrong password. She was hell-bent on not wanting to help. They were being that desk overnight just about every night of my trip and not once did I even see a smile. I mean I'm looking for overnight work and I would have greeted every single customer that walked through that door with a smile! It's just so frustrating to see that kind of poor customer service. But because of the friendly rest of the staff that's why I'm giving this rating that I am because the folks there during the day specifically the gentleman that were working the desk could not have been kinder! I stayed for 4 nights and not once was I even asked to have first house brought to the room nor were there anything more than two bath towels provided at the beginning of my stay."

Budget Inn Hollywood

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first stay at The Budget Inn, but it’s already in my heart and soul in a very different way❤️"
