Ferry Terminal Tours

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean.

This was a great second stay at the Normandie. Spacious room, super friendly and accommodating staff, fun bonus amenities that come with the stay. It’s also an extremely central location in Ktown, which makes it very convenient. We will be back!

The Hollywood Hotel was very convenient for our first trip to LA without a car. It was clean, had a beautiful pool area and courtyard, and was close to the Vermont/Santa Monica Metro station. It was only 15 minutes away from West Hollywood by subway, and it was easy to get to the Hollywood Bowl and Dodgers stadium using transit or Uber. The neighborhood north of the hotel is pretty safe, as it is mainly a medical district with a couple of major hospitals. We walked it at night with no issues. However, the neighborhood deteriorates quickly if you walk south on Vermont beyond Santa Monica Boulevard. There is a complex with a Rite Aid, restaurants, AM/PM, and a seafood market/grocery right at the corner of Vermont and Santa Monica that’s safe to walk to in the daytime. Only issue was getting good coffee in the morning. The bistro has an espresso machine, but the staff are overwhelmed by the breakfast crowd, so you can wait a long time. They should have self-serve drip coffee available for guests. Fortunately, there’s a good coffee shop just steps away south on Vermont called De La Tierra. Highly recommended. For a hotel in this price range, it was very good value. We’d do it again!
