Affordable Hollywood hotel puts guests in the middle of the action

Smack dab in the middle of glitzy Hollywood, this hotel's location puts you in the midst of all the action. Friendly, functional rooms, free Wi-Fi, a business center and on-site laundry all provide background to the real star of the show: the Hollywood location. Guests are a stone's throw from prime L.A. attractions and minutes from both the Metro and the freeway for travels further afield.

Highlights
  • Central Hollywood location makes for convenient access to all major city points
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi access in business center, guest rooms and all public areas
  • Walking distance from Grauman's Chinese Theatre and Hollywood Walk of Fame
Location

Within minutes of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood & Highland shopping complex and the legendary Musso & Frank's restaurant, the Motel 6 makes guests feel like a part of the heritage, glamour and excitement of Hollywood.

 

There are two Metro stations nearby for rapid transit to downtown L.A., the Miracle Mile and Burbank's Universal Studios. The nearby 101 freeway provides easy access to destinations beyond Hollywood.

Rooms
The clean, simple rooms come in both smoking and nonsmoking varieties. Guest rooms include either a king bed or two doubles. Each features cable TV, complimentary Wi-Fi access and free local calls.
Features

The Motel 6 Hollywood is affordably priced and close to major Hollywood attractions and the 101 freeway for quick link-ups to all major city destinations.

 

There is an on-site laundry, 24-hour help desk, and both self and valet parking available (fees apply). The hotel follows a pet-friendly policy, and "friendly," in this case, means "free."

 

Some of L.A.'s outstanding shopping, dining and tourist attractions are only a short walk away. There are two Metro stations within blocks, and the nearby 101 freeway gives speedy access to the wonders of L.A. beyond Hollywood.

NOT WORTH THE $$$

Rude, uninformative check in staff. Parking not always available. When it is it costs extra. Internet broke for an entire day. Not even shampoo in the bathroom, Possibly my worst two nights at a major chain hotel.

Did what I needed it to do

I was in town for business and literally EVERY other hotel was booked in the area. I reserved the last room at this Motel 6 as well. Basically, I just needed a bed. Room was clean and fairly quiet. The area isn't as bad as some reviews would suggest, though. For what I paid, it was definitely worth it... and being in the area made my life a little more convenient for a few days.

Not for single women

I stayed at the hotel for convenience. I had a morning meeting in the area. When I pulled up there were about 6 vagrants hanging around outside. The parking attendant told me he couldn't handle any more cars and I'd have to park around the block. It was about 10pm and seemed very seedy in the area. He let me leave the car as I registered at the front desk. In the lobby there was another group of pretty scruffy looking folks just hanging out. While I waited at the front desk, two drunk guys came in, one in drag and started hustling me. Talking about my nice looking purse and offering to bring my luggage up to my room for me. Pretty creepy. The desk guy just ignored them. I begged him to please let me leave my car parked there and not have to venture out on my own to park around the corner and walk back in this area by myself. He agreed to let me do that. I've traveled everywhere and often. This place made me very nervous. Lots of vagrant type people around. The room was decent and it was actually very quiet through the night. I would not stay there again though.

Great Price, Great Location

If you've stayed in a Motel 6 or Days Inn before (and enjoyed it), you'll be happy with your stay here. For the price and location, there isn't a better deal in W. Hollywood. The rooms are clean, the staff friendly, the neighborhood safe and well lit (at least on the days we stayed--Thurs-Sun). Numerous food options are within a two block walking distance, including pizza and diners for those stumbling out of bars as they close. Parking is $10 and is on a first come, first served basis, but even if the lot is full, there's a public lot less than a block away for the same price.

Great Location...no frills hotel

We were looking for an overnight stay near The Magic Castle in Hollywood. The hotel was within walking distance. The hotel was absolutely NO FRILLS. When I say NO FRILLS, I mean nothing...no hairdryer, no iron, no lighting other than florescents (which are ugly and do not make anyone look good)...the bed was ok. NO ice machine, except in the lobby, which we were on the 3rd floor. Needs to be updated.

Awesome Location!

Best room rate for the area for sure. Very convienent to everything that you may want to see. Room was clean, very plain. But if you are looking for just a place to sleep, this is good. If you do not get there early enough the garage located at the hotel will fill up. They will direct you to another parking garage located 1 block away. Kind of a pain. Could hear neighbors as if they were in the same room.

Basic, but has all you need

I was only in Hollywood for two days. I won't lie, I wasn't overly fond of it. Considering all the glitz and glam, the area itself isn't all that nice. Nothing bad happened, I just didn't feel safe as a single female on my own at night, hence, I was back to the hotel around dusk. Luckily the Motel 6 was great, big comfy bed and big flat screen TV. My room was basic, but I'm travelling on a budget, so is what I expected. It was clean though and had everything I needed, which is the main thing. The front desk staff weren't the most helpful, one was alright, but the other two I spoke to seemed as though they just couldn't be bothered. Hollywood wise, I did one of the tours, which I'd deffinately recommend. You get to see a lot of the area and learn a lot about it. They have all different one's as well, so can pick one to suit you. I also went to the Hollywood Museum which is just off Hollywood Blvd. It was great! Only $15 entry and has 4 floors of stuff. If you like movies, it's an awesome museum! Around Grauman's Chinese theatre is fine, lot's of tourists. Further along the Walk of Fame though, you enter into strip club and tattoo parlour territory. Having said that, the hotel is just off from the boulevard, so feels that bit safer, however, even on the 4th floor, I could still hear the nightclubs from the street, so if you're a light sleeper, take earplugs. Overall I was pleased with my stay, though I think I would explore more of LA if I were to go back.

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

The Metro System is really easy, I didn't realise until my last day, but there's a station right on Hollywood Blvd and it'll take you to all sorts of places right up to Union station in Downtown LA. Plus, a single trip is only $1.50.
