Top El Capitan Theatre Hotel Reviews

Fenix Hotel Hollywood

10/10 Excellent

"The only problem I had was with the electronic keypad on the room door which I was given and actual key to use immediately. I felt very secure with needing a code to park, a code for the elevator, a code for the gate, a code for the front door. It was very convenient to Hollywood Blvd. and nearby attractions. LOVED that it had a washer and dryer! And they even provided detergent for a couple loads. I would definitely stay here again if coming to this area. One of the best hotels of my entire two week trip to Oregon and California."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Hollywood Walk of Fame by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff are helpful"

Hollywood VIP Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall a decent choice. If you've got a vehicle that is long, this may not be the place for you. In addition, they charge $30/day for parking and that really disclosed. Being that there is no other place to park, it should be front and center in their advertising. Also if my chance you find a space in the front, they make you prepare parking for entire stay up front. That's not fair. The first couple days the Wi-Fi worked great. I'm went out around midnight on said 3. I went down to dusk we asked to have the Wi-Fi modem reset a router in the person working the desk looked at me and said no it's not our problem. I said repectfully, it is... No it's not, you must have entered wrong password. She was hell-bent on not wanting to help. They were being that desk overnight just about every night of my trip and not once did I even see a smile. I mean I'm looking for overnight work and I would have greeted every single customer that walked through that door with a smile! It's just so frustrating to see that kind of poor customer service. But because of the friendly rest of the staff that's why I'm giving this rating that I am because the folks there during the day specifically the gentleman that were working the desk could not have been kinder! I stayed for 4 nights and not once was I even asked to have first house brought to the room nor were there anything more than two bath towels provided at the beginning of my stay."
