We stayed at the Highland Gardens Hotel, because it was walking distance to the World Famous Magic Castle. It was very convenient for that reason. Also, walking distance to the Walk of Stars in Hollywood. The pool area is nice. With lots of tropical foliage. The suites are nice in size. We had 3 people total. So, my boyfriend and... More

This hotel is in a great location for a reasonable price. Other than that there is nothing positive to say. We checked in and when we got to our room it hadn't been cleaned. We were given another. It was a nice enough room but old. The shower was tiny and the faucets were confusing. towels were small and scratchy.... More

We stopped in here while trying to find a reasonably priced hotel/motel in the Hollywood area without going into a dive and so when I walked into the lobby to ask about room price/availability, it seemed ideal as the lobby and front area are very swish and modern. You can see it’s been a 60’s hotel but looked like it... More

Unfortunately I had stuffed up our reservations and booked the wrong month at another hotel!! We were in Hollywood and desperate for a room for 2 nights - the staff at the other hotels had sent us here - I wish we hadn't been but there were very few places available and we had already tried other hotels that were...

Good location, very close to Hollywood. Big rooms with separate kitchen. There is a pool. Breakfast is terrible for us Europeans, but we didn't expect ´t more. Overall good place to stay at when you explore Hollywood and Universal area, very close to Mullholland drive and scenic drives.

The room was very clean and the place was quiet. Except for the night we heard the poltergeist! I can't claim that everyone will be visited but we thought it was a gas! Only the next day did we find out that this was where Janis Joplin died! This is a piece of Hollywood history. Check it out!

Stayed in this hotel for a couple of nights in April 2012. I usually dismiss extremely poor reviews as most of the time it's somebody who is overly sensitive, however, I wish I never stayed here. Apart from the lobby, the rest of the hotel is straight from the prehistoric era. The bathroom is a joke, there's nowhere to put... More
