Great to rest your Head

My stay at The Ramada Hollywood was a relaxing one. The rooms could be a bit larger however it was comfortable. The roomservice was timely and quick. I was able to keep myself entertained with TV most of the time. The hotel was located off of Sunset, which was the idea location in relation to the event I was there for. It was not to busy and it was quiet. My overall stay was a very pleasant one.

A Good Night's Sleep

This place is fine for sleeping. It wouldn't be my first choice for hanging out by the pool. Being by myself and needing a place to rest my head, this worked out just fine.

Nice hotel, a pleasant surprise

Check-in was a breeze. They have a large secure parking lot for $15 a day, which is, again, cheap for Hollywood. The hotel and the room were kept very clean and well-maintained, the staff was friendly, there was a sufficient amount of electrical outlets, and the other guests appeared to be respectable business people and tourists. I would have loved wi-fi in the rooms, but at that price I won't complain. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this hotel and look forward to staying there again.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

This section of Vermont Ave is not the greatest but it's not unsafe either. Koreatown, Los Feliz, Silver Lake and a short drive away. There is shopping and dining within walking distance, along with several large hospitals (Children's, Kaiser Permanente, Hollywood Presbyterian) and there's a subway stop practically across the street.

Get a one day pass for the train and it was take you to the local attractions. Saves on the hassle to parking and traffic jam especially at night.

Great amenities and food

The Ramada Hollywood near Universal Studios was very comfortable. My room was large enough and well furnished. The sauna, the pool and the fitness room very useful to relax anytime. The breakfast very good, the food various and tasty. At the front desk and at the parking the staff has always been very kind. For sure I'll like to stay again here the next time I'll be in L.A. with a car.
