"Room was very clean and staff were great. Food at the restaurant was wonderful and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only issue for me was there was not enough coffee in the room For guests. We rise early and like a couple of cups before we get up and start moving. There were only 2 coffee pods available and very little powder creamer."

"This hotel was surprisingly affordable given it's prime proximity to the Grammy Museum, Peacock Theater and Crypto.com Arena (formerly the Staples Center). It's not a luxury property, but it is high quality and clean, with a nice sized room. The desk staff was uniformly cheerful and helpful. The neighborhood is not the best, so there are some security measures in place, but they did not feel oppressive. I hope to stay there again."

Loews Hollywood Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Loews Hollywood Hotel Review Our stay at the Loews Hollywood Hotel was absolutely unforgettable. After nearly ten years, my wife and I finally had the chance to take a trip together, and Loews Hollywood was the perfect home base for such a special getaway. The location is exceptional! Right in the heart of Hollywood and within easy walking distance of the Walk of Fame, Dolby Theatre, TCL Chinese Theatre, restaurants, and entertainment. It made exploring Los Angeles effortless while still giving us a beautiful, comfortable place to retreat to at the end of the day. Our room was clean, comfortable, stylish, and offered wonderful views of the city. Everything felt well maintained and thoughtfully presented. But what truly stood out was the hospitality. The staff were warm, professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. That personal touch made the experience feel much more special than simply staying at a hotel. For us, this wasn’t just another hotel stay. It was part of a long-awaited trip and a collection of memories we’ll cherish for years to come. Loews Hollywood provided the perfect setting for it all. Five stars without hesitation. We loved our stay and would absolutely return. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, incredible location, and outstanding hospitality in the heart of Hollywood, Loews Hollywood is hard to beat."
