We stayed here for one night as we coming into L.A. to attend a wedding.

As previously stated, the black glass facade in the front of the property gives you the impression that it's an enclosed building instead of a motel where all of the rooms open to the outside.

The entire time I was in this motel (NOT a hotel!), I felt as if I was in the 1970s as the style of the place hasn't been updated for some time. Not charming, rather mid-century low-rent.

Not enough parking inside the motel, which is a serious issue as the hotel is on a very busy avenue (little street-side parking).

The coffee shop is ok as a diner-type of place.

Check in went great. We bought our Universal Studio's tickets in the lobby and saved $5, that is the good news. The bad news about purchasing your Universal tickets here is that they could not provide change, we had to wait until our check out before they gave us our change.

It is not a hotel or inn. They have designed the outside of it so it looks like a glass building, but once you are inside you will see it is a motel. They disguised the front to make it look nicer. There is no room service, but a little coffee shop next to the lobby. It is run by 2 old sisters who don't speak much English. IF they notice you when you sit down they will ask if you want a cup of coffee, if you say no just water or juice they don't understand and you will have nothing to drink. We learned to just say yes to coffee. Prices were very cheap here, but it is frusterating trying to understand the sisters and waiting for service.

Parking was horrible at night. They have a very limited amount of parking spaces, so some people parked along the sides of walls blocking the enterance to the elevators, doors, and even the driveway to the hotel. We asked about parking at the Holiday inn next door since there was no place to park, but that was not allowed.

Pool was nice, hot tub could have been hotter.

Great location so you can walk to the Walk of Fame, Chinese Theater, museums, Kodak, Hollywood and Highland Complex. Great location for anyone on vacation and you won't mind your stay if you are not planning on spending much time in the hotel.

My family of 4 stayed at the Hollywood Plaza Inn. The parking was inadequate, but the room was nice for the price we paid. This is not a luxurious hotel but gives you a clean and safe place to stay. To our suprise the room had a microwave and refrigerator which was nice to have. The staff were curtious. The nicest thing was that we were close enough to most of the things we wanted to do that we could walk. Driving in L.A. is terrible so it was nice to not drive much. We would stay again.

This is the best hotel review on the net! Or at least the most accurate. Anyway the pluses are that the rooms are clean enough (the pillows not), it does have a adult size pool w/ hot tub, and the great location esp to the Hollywood Bowl which is a 3-4 block walking distance and on the same side of the Bowl (it is important w/Highland Ave. constant flowing/fast traffic) and free parking albeit a little cramped. The minuses the heating/cooling is not adequate enough, and the "Inn" is really a motel covered with a glass facade (It does help block the noise of Highland Ave-which is very busy all day and night), the rooms are small and there is no continental breakfast (for those who are on a budget on $ and time it's nice to have). We stayed for two nights across the street at the Comfort Inn & Suites which was better. I recommend it for a night stay esp. w/a concert at the Hollywood Bowl (we saw Cher's last show or tour or who knows really?). It is about 4 blocks to Hollywood Blvd. and the sites - Grumanns Chinese theater so on. See my review for the Comfort Inn & Suites to decide on your own. A two star hotel (LOL motel) at best.
