Top American Film Institute Hotel Reviews

Loews Hollywood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Liked everything"

Kasa Sunset Los Angeles

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I stayed here while visiting for a Greek Theatre concert. What a great find! Within easy Uber distance from the theatre so we offset the uber cost without having to pay huge parking fees or getting stuck in traffic. The city view room we had was huge with picture windows running the whole room length and great views of the surrounding Hollywood area. The room was super clean and very well appointed including a huge TV, quality amenities, a huge kitchen (that we barely used), free laundry (including detergent), and very quiet. A very good location as well not too far from the Hollywood main drag, but far enough to keep most of the riff-raff out. Communication was excellent as well. We conversed with the host a few times during our stay and responses were super-fast. We would stay at any Kasa properties again based on our experience."

The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios

10/10 Excellent

"I don’t think I’ll ever stop staying here. The view from the Hollywood Sign Room is spectacular. The amount of awesome spots in walking distance, the adorably designed rooms, the delicious diner attached (with the most AMAZING selection of pastries in LA -if you ask me-get the ginger scone if nothing else-you won’t regret it) all so worth the price. Only negative I’ll note is the shower (I’ve stayed in 3 separate rooms at this point) definitely leaves something to be desired…the water pressure is so sad. But certainly not a deal breaker for me."

Hollywood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, friendly and helpful staff."

Hollywood City Inn

8/10 Good

"My friend and I enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and well appointed. The only thing I would advise other travelers to keep in mind before checking in is the fact that management requires every guest to put in a $100 cash-only deposit at check-in before the transaction is considered complete."

The Onyx Hotel Hollywood

10/10 Excellent

"Free parking. 4 minute drive to walk of fame. Room was clean."

W Hollywood

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay with friends! Even though we arrived pretty late, the vibe from start to the end of our trip felt very elite and yet comfortable."
