Loews Hollywood Hotel

Decided to go to LA for the first time and we booked this hotel the hotel is absolutely beautiful and right near the Hollywood Walk a fame. The breakfast in the morning was very nice and I looked to choose from.

Our second day here so here are my initial thoughts. The hotel looks well outdated with worn furniture. The wooden doors doesn't seem to have been varnished for a long time. The cold water tap in our room is leaking onto the worktop and the showerroom fan does not seem to be working. There are no cups, glasses or cutlery in the room, not even a teaspoon to stir tea. Instead we are given two foam cups (looks so cheap for a 4* hotel). We had to buy our own tea bags. This is in sharp contract to our travels through the world (most recently Malaysia, Singapore and Bali four weeks ago). WHAT IS MORE STRIKING ( and what we have come across for the first time and only learned today from labels placed on the bottles)) IS THAT THE HOTEL CHARGES FOR BOTTLED WATER WHICH IS A REDICULOUS AMOUT OF $11 + 24% tax) PER ONE LITRE OW WATER.

Location great everything else terrible. Absolutely stay here if you need to be within walking distance of any of the local attractions otherwise do yourself a big favor and stay a real hotel with real hospitality. You will thank me later!

We have 2 rooms in the property - the rooms are dated, but the disappointment talks to decor and cleanliness - filthy walls, vents filthy is so disappointing. in terms of hygiene as much as aesthetic old tubs,old shower fittings - all done their time the location is great, but its definitely gone down hill from our last stay disappointing so far.... feels a 3 star hotel needing investment. o

Excellent stay for us as a family to explore Hollywood & LA the rooftop pool was brilliant after a day of exploring and also after jet lag got me and my eldest daughter were up at 6am so we grabbed a coffee and headed to the pool for sunrise. Super comfy beds too!
