Hollywood Dream Suites Hotel

Nice staff. This is not the sort a place that you stay if you’re accustomed to staying in decent hotels. It’s not super cheap either. Personally the woman that helped me was super friendly when I got there and I know she tried her best to accommodate me in a room that was the best for what they had to offer me. I never checked the Unilocal reviews but unfortunately they are right. I was never really there so wasn’t a huge deal it was only two days but I will share a couple of photos and you can decide if this is the sort of place that you would want to go.
I checked my bed to make sure that there were no bedbugs I did not see any. But the fact that I felt the need to do so???

Um… this is tough.
This is a really cute place. A very kind family helped our homeless family and got us a room here for 2 weeks out of the kindness of their hearts… unbelievable! We were — and still are — grateful long beyond checkout.
Cool posters, coffee and tea and snacks all day… the prefurnished rooms make it feel like home. Having a stove was wonderful after being without one for so long. We were short on rent due to a misunderstanding and they were willing to work with us. We ended up paying the balance the same day anyway, but the offer was nice.
But… the other shoe drops.
There is no housekeeping whatsoever. They don’t give up clean towels or sheets easy… but the cost is the same as a hotel that keeps the place up. Hmmmm…
We found a broken crack pipe and a whole broken glass under the bed in room 15. In room 49, a syringe and corresponding supplies… Really? I have a 2 year old who is getting into something new everyday! My body ran cold each time.
And who’s that guy who goes in his bathroom the same time as me and makes that scary moaning noise? Is everything OK bro?
Our fridge didn’t work and we needed a cold one to keep the milk from spoiling. We were told it would be replaced and that it was right downstairs, but it never came up. We reminded the guy a couple times… but still lost 2 gallons of milk.
Trust me, the next tenant will need a cold fridge… unless it’s the guy who left the pipe and needle. He’s not eating… #dark

This was the WORST hotel I have ever stayed at. I am about to rant about my whole experience. So here we go.
First off, it was my fault for not reading into reviews about this place. I usually stay at lower rated hotels that are $ 60-​$ 80 just because I will be on vacation. The hotel is only to sleep, shower & free breakfast so I don’t need anything fancy. This hotel was rated 2 stars according to Kayak and it wasn’t the cheapest either. It was also only 4 miles away from Universal Studios (the only reason we went) so i said why not. Before I even made the reservation I called and asked what was the latest time i could check in and the girl told me 11:45pm. I decided that i will book it knowing it would be close. My boyfriend didn’t get off of work till 5 and it was a 6 hour drive from Arizona.
We were both tired and hungry (driving straight there without stopping, we didn’t even have dinner yet) however we arrived around 11:30 pm. This hotel was in the heart of the ghetto. There was also NO PARKING and kayak said that there was parking. I called the number and asked the girl if they had an assigned parking lot in which she said no that it was street parking. My car is a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, and I wasn’t too fond in the idea of leaving it on the street! but it had to be done. I ended up being dropped off in the front to check in while my boyfriend parked.
I was let in by this girl (whom i thought was maybe a guest) she was wearing PJs and Slippers with a dirty white short… She ended up being someone who worked there. She walked me to what was called «the office» it was disgusting. There was dirt and crap everywhere. She took $ 67 off of my card because apparently they didn’t get payment online. (which they did) i should’ve clarified that with her however i was exhausted and just wanted to get into the bed and sleep.
I asked the girl what time the free breakfast was and she said 9am. What the hell? this was a hotel, no one is sleeping in till 9 am when they have plans to explore the city they just traveled to! So aggravating. But anyways; she ended up giving me the key to the room when my boyfriend walked through the door. She ended up having to open our room for us because the key wouldn’t budge.
The first sight of the room wasn’t too bad. it was decorated with Marilyn Monroe and probably considered classic.
As the girl was leaving she said that the office will be closed and a few minutes and that no one will be able to come in or get out after 12am.
I don’t know if she was joking but she shouldn’t be telling their guests that. what if there was a fire?! i can’t leave?! My boyfriend and i were planning just to check in and go out to get our dinner that we missed — so we ended up sleeping hungry. we didn’t want to chance it incase we couldn’t get back in.
So the girl left and as i started to get ready to go to sleep, i went to the bathroom and first off, the bathtub was all chipped and there was soap mildew all over the appliances, i noticed that the window was opened wide (closed that really quick) and that they didn’t even give us towels. So showering wasn’t an option.
I ended up brushing my teeth in the kitchen — where there was another wide open window might i add — however the kitchen was just as disgusting.
My boyfriend sat on the bed and there wasn’t even a mattress!!! just a pathetic excuse for a cloth over obvious springs. it was the loudest, most uncomfortable bed i have ever sat in. My boyfriend was fuming. I ended up getting an earful because i didn’t research this place! by the time i wanted to leave and get my money back — the office was closed.
We didn’t sleep at all. We were in room2 right next to the street and there was nothing in-​between us and the traffic going by. So with three things i only do when buying a hotel is sleep, shower, and eat free breakfast — i did none.
As we were checking out — i give my key to an older gentleman whom owns the place — he told me that they were going to refund my card for the amount she charged me because i already paid through Kayak…
The night we stayed was on 4÷20−4÷21. So literally a day has gone by and i have not received my refund. Anyone would be pissed that they already paid $ 80 online for this sad excuse Hotel and «suites» as well as an EXTRA $ 67.
I called them this morning to see if it was taken care of. A male answered the phone telling me to call back in5 minutes for the owner to get in the office. I call back and the owner says that they lost my card information and that he needs it over the phone and the girl who ran it worked tonight and she will do it. I asked if it could be taken care of while i was on the phone to make sure that it is done. In which he started getting frustrated with me as if i «didn’t understand» He is the fucking owner. he doesn’t even know how to run his own hotel?!
You bet ill be calling everyday until its done.

DO NOT STAY HERE! We booked our two night stay over the phone and was told there was free self parking… they should’ve just said PUBLIC STREET PARKING! It took us about twenty minutes to find parking two blocks away from the hotel and that was just because a hotel worker moved his car. As soon as I got here I wanted to leave. The room was dirty and had a very squeaky bed, there was two dead cockroaches in the fridge (How’d they even get in there?!) oh and the curtains were broken so not much privacy in the room we stayed in. To top it all off even the guy at the front desk was really rude!
I did not even stay the second night. Everything about this place put me in a bad mood

this place is garbage! I have pictures of bed bugs and the mattrass was filthy like they picked up off the side walk! it was terrible unsanitary and dirty!!! they are in the news for being slum lords! George and Candace Graham always blaming the white man for their slum lord issues THESE ARE APARTMENTS they are renting as HOTELS! ILLEGAL!!!

This jewel is not for those needing to stay in a new Marriott or Hyatt. It is a historic hotel for the stars and artist of hollywood. If you fancy yourself a artist/​actor/​beat nick type, try this hotel. The hotel clerks are in the «biz» not polished robots out of Cornell Hotel management school.

Am I in the twilight zone? This place is not at all a hotel ! It’s a brothel disguised as a hotel. Once I walked in, I knew this place was not the place to be ! In the office the office staff looked drunk and high! Like wtf. It only gets worse from here. This place completely violates all health codes. There’s mold all over the room. My bed had blood stains on it, sheets looked like they had never been washed, I felt like I was going to get a disease from the bathroom. Do not stay here at all ! Avoid this disgusting place at all costs. I spent the night looking for another hotel to stay it.
