The Moment Hotel

I stayed here and was very pleased. Very modern, loved the black out shades. I do have to say the hallways tend to be a mega phone, I did hear everything from the housekeeping staff to the people coming in at 4 am, but hey it’s L.A. so who needs to sleep? Possibly the second floor the sound doesn’t travel as much (not sure).

Stayed here in Dec 2015. We enjoyed the stay, the rooms were clean, all the staff was friendly and accommodating. The beds were comfortable. Was not crazy about the glass bathroom wall and door.

Pros: great location for walking (able to walk to a lot of tourist spots and good food and bars), black out shades, and very cool modern design
Cons: the rooms are very loud, it costs $ 22 a night to park (but you can find neighborhood parking if you drive around), and there are very dim lights in the bathroom area so it’s hard to do make-​up, shave, etc…

I stayed here because the hotel I usually stay at near UCLA was booked. I thought the pictures of the rooms looked cute and it was 4 stars. I will start with the pros: Big TV, easy to use Directv, black out blinds. Cons: SO NOISY. There is tile flooring in the rooms. I was in 106 and the person above me seemed to be walking around on tile in high heels for at least 45 minutes. Every person who opened and closed a door in the hallway sounded like it was IN my room. Very loud to say the least. It seemed as if people were coming and going all night and I got hardly any sleep at all. If you are looking for a restful place, this is not it. At 5:20 am, someone (presumably accidentally) opened the speaker or PA and I could hear two men either arguing or talking loudly over the speakers in the hallway. Several people poked their heads out of the rooms to see what was happening. When I left, I told the front desk clerk and he claimed not to know anything about it. Lastly, the housekeeping left a lot to be desired. The wall of the shower had what I hope was conditioner dripping down the wall. It had obviously not been cleaned from the last person. As I was already in the shower when I noticed it, I just showered quickly and tried not to think about what else it might be. Very gross to say the least. For $ 200 a night, I could have stayed many other places. Next time I will choose another.

Family Vacay with a pit stop in Hollywood and we stayed here at this hotel. It was sooo worth the money for the room and I really loved staying here.
We got there and I had reserved a room with 2 beds. Ray was working at the front desk and he had excellent customer service. I realized that the 2 beds were not necessary and I preferred 1 bed so our son could have more room to play. Ray was able to accommodate us right away which was a godsend.
The rooms were very modern. They must have put a ton of money in the design of this hotel because it truly was stunning. The bed was super comfy, the tv had direct tv which was really nice because there was a ton of channels plus a guide so that made watching TV a breeze (this can truly be an issue when you are out of town and don’t know the channels of the stations! Hey it’s the little things, right?) The room also has this amazing smelling soap and lotion dispenser. Totally loved that. The hotel also had a super chic patio on the 2^nd floor which was a great place to lounge with company in the evening.
Overall, I totally loved this hotel and would stay here again. Great location, great staff and great rooms.
If there was one tiny minor thing that I could ask for to make it a little bit better… Add a pool or jacuzzi!!!

Location location location. Minutes away from anything you want to do in Hollywood. A comfortable bed and the best black-​out shades I’ve ever used made it easy to take a nap during the day and sleep through the night. Craig the GM was around to answer any questions and help as needed.

So far so good. The two guys at the desk were SO helpful! This hotel has a great location, killer modern décor. The rooms are petite, bright and inviting. Staff is helpful, things are clean and worth the price tag we paid on hotel tonight.
In the area? Rest your head here!

Five stars for this place — Craig and his staff are friendly and super accommodating. The hotel is Hipp and Clean — it is located in the middle of everything! I can’t imagine a better location.
And best of all… Last time I was there they were filming a TV show for the oxygen network! How awesome is that? Talk about being right in the heart of Hollywood!

A modern minimalist lil boutique hotel situated on a rather non-​descript part of Sunset Blvd.
Back to LA on biz and needed a last minute hotel near Hollywood & Vine but everything was pricing crazy stupid… soooooo I after jumping on ‘Hotel Tonight’ I found The Moment Hotel, which I’d never heard of but looked worth a shot, so I booked for $ 189 and…
Gotta say, after my stay this could be my new go-​to Hollywood hotel!
PROS:
Stylish rooms!
Black out shades FTW!
Zippy free wifi
Plush bath robes
Loaner bikes!
24 hr room service
Roof deck (open until 11pm)
Non smoking property
Actual HDTV
Large shower w/​rain shower head
Noon check out
CONS:
$ 22 overnight parking (sad face)
Radio dock: old 30-​pin connector style
Rough sheets (otherwise bed was comfy)

We spoke Craig in September 2014 and you resolved the matter. I don’t care to think about this experience any longer.

The hotel is modern chic, small property very well located to the whole LA area. For the price the hotel was better than expected, providing comfortable beds, rain head shower, HD TV with a great channel selection. Complimentary water and keyring coffee is available in room that’s a nice touch. Room service is available 24 hours. Now the cons when we checked in the deadbolt didn’t work but the night latch was functioning pretty well. Along with this there was a half drank water of Voss in the fridge that was not taken out of the room. We reported the deadbolt to the front desk and someone did come to fix it but it still doesn’t lock efficiently you still had to force it, but this was not enough to mire the stay would stay again.

Stayed here for two nights and had a good stay. The hotel reminds me of an Aloft hotel in some ways. The rooms aren’t too big so don’t expect anything huge room wise. They have nice beds and a comfortable atmosphere. First hotel I have been to where they have a full Directv lineup not just 50 or so channels and actually HD. The room has some free snacks like water and chips they give you. If you want more they have a nicely stocked mini bar with good prices. I would stay here again if I had the chance.
Fyi
Parking is $ 22 a night.
Wifi is Free.
They have rainfall shower heads

Fun, Great boutique hotel.

An sich ist das Hotel sehr modern und Trendy. Alles sehr neu und daher sauber und noch gar nicht abgenutzt. Wir hatten zunächst 4 Nächte gebucht und haben dies nochmal um 4 Nächte verlängert. Das Personal ist mehr als zuvorkommend und hilft bei allen Belangen. Wir hatten zunächst ein Zimmer im Erdgeschoss zur Straße raus. Auf Nachfrage konnten wir wechseln in den 2. Stock nach hinten raus. Da die Zimmer zur Straße raus meines Erachtens etwas hellhörig sind, ziehe ich einen Stern ab. Die Lage ist perfekt, da es zum Walk of Fame zu Fuß nur ca. 10 – 15 Minuten sind. Alles in allem ein empfehlenswertes Hotel.

Dear Reader: Please don’t waste a single second at The Moment Hotel. Small stuffy room w/​Broken A/​C that only emits heated air. NOT COOL literally & figuratively!!! We tried to calm down in our tiny room & foolishly believed we could obtain some very much needed fresh oxygen from the nearby window.
I’m too tired to be irritated as I contact the front desk for the 3^rd time & plea for a room transfer.
Surprise! Another shocking Moment awaits my family when she refuses our transfer request!
She tells me the rooms are all booked yet online there are rooms available?! Perplexed !!! Yes! Leaving asap? Yes!
Almost midnight, exhausted & stressed– we gather our things, re-​pack our bags. Sigh. Don’t want to waste another moment here so I contact another nearby hotel because my oxygen & patience levels are depleting & I quickly explain our plight & they immediately understood– worked their magic & we thankfully made it outside, weakly climbed into the car while filling our lungs with fresh oxygen.
Breathing or guest hospitality are never taken for granted again. Niece, cousins, son and myself are so worn out, everyone’s grumpy and I’m trying to hold it all together…
Upon arrival at the nearby magic castle hotel filled with wonderfully clean oxygen & a genuinely professional & very kind staff; we were immediately greeted, given cool cucumber water & placed in a wonderfully spacious hill top one bedroom balcony suite w/​fresh sweet air, rice Krispy treats and a breathtaking view of the city lights…
Relief & gratitude wash over me knowing our group can now safely sleep without suffocating, having an asthma attack or developing claustrophobia.
***On a more positive note: the general manager of The Moment Hotel had been on vacation during this time but immediately contacted me upon his return which I truly appreciate because he sincerely wanted to resolve our issues & has spent several days communicating with me to ensure these problems are correctly dealt with *** I’ll keep you updated but his business ethics are professional & efficient.

This place is rad. Right on the strip, modern, clean rooms, friendly staff, 2 bars and an awesome lounge. Ill absolutely stay here again!

As a returning guest of over 5 months I was promised a rate that management decided to change last minute. They offer a rate and then change it once you’re checking in, basically leaving you out of options.
Horrible business ethics, do not stay here!

Unfortunately, our weekend away got off to a rough start right out of the gate when checking into The Moment Hotel. We had booked a room for the weekend through Priceline, and upon arrival we were told that here would be a $ 22 per day parking fee, and to get a room with two beds we would have to «upgrade» to a handicap-​accessible room for another $ 30 per night. Neither one of these things were disclosed by Priceline when the room was booked.
Now, about these two charges:
1. I have no problem paying a parking fee in an urban area, but it should be disclosed when booking.
2. In no way was the room we received an «upgrade,» and I wonder if the hotel charges handicapped people an extra $ 30 per night to rent a room like this.
I am sure that The Moment Hotel can blame both of these things on Priceline, but the hotel entered into an agreement with this website to sell more rooms, and ultimately will have to deal with the consequences of poor customer service and the resulting negative word of mouth advertising.
Here are a few details about the room, which was quite dismal. The east wall had scuff marks on it, and with only one small window and dark tile floors the room had a miserable institutional feel. The wall-​unit air conditioner was incredibly noisy as it tried to keep the room at a reasonable temperature during the day. This noise was almost a blessing at night as it was able to drown out the constant resonance of elevator operating noise through the north wall.
The bathroom was not laid out well. With only a shower curtain and no lip to hold the water in, the floor was soaked after even a short shower. The soap dispenser nozzle shot the soap straight out, usually so that the soap went onto the floor or onto one’s clothing.
Staying at The Moment Hotel was not relaxing or rewarding, and I was actually relieved when it came time to check out. By the way, the extra undisclosed charges came to another $ 116.80, which was a nice parting shot as I was leaving.
There are a lot of places to stay in Hollywood, and many of them would have been cheaper than The Moment Hotel and more conveniently located. Unfortunately I did not find out how expensive the stay was going to be until check-​in and by then it was too late. I will not be using Priceline for reservations in the future, nor will I be staying at The Moment again.
By the way, I contacted the GM, and his response was that we should come stay again and he would give us a great rate. That sounds a lot like my deal with Priceline that got us stuck there in the first place. Another mysterious great rate…

We wanted an affordable place to stay in Hollywood. This place is great. The staff is friendly and the décor is clean, hip and fun. For a small room the placement of furnishings was very accommodating.
I love the attention to detail and the simple, easy perks throughout the room like the robe/​slippers and double shower head (one is rain style!). There is also a nice little fridge with a mini bar, but it’s divided so there is a spot for your own stuff as well, including a spot for a full size wine bottle on the door.
It’s the little things that do it for me and this was a stop on a road trip and those little perks are luxurious in a hip «motel» setting. (Psst…it’s really a hotel in disguise)
The rooftop bar looks very nice but we did not go up there this time.
Only negative I would say is that parking was $ 22 and it is just a small lot that is not fenced or gated. However, we are from the Bay Area and are used to that type of stuff. Not a big deal.
I would completely stay here again!

Super cute from the outside. Looks great.
We walked in to the lobby and the host makes eye contact, then ducks down behind the counter and shuffles around for a few seconds. When she pops up, she acts surprised to see two people standing there (the doors make considerable noise when opened, and i KNOW she saw us!).
Check-​in took nearly 10 minutes. Lots of rules apparently.
We got our room: 114.
Host tells us that if we have a lot of luggage that the elevator is behind her.
Alright. I’ll be sure to take the elevator to. the first floor?
The hallways are neat. Music playing. Bright.
The Room:
Stark. Cold.
The TV is hard-​mounted to the wall, and it is far left of the bed. It is not movable. Nobody has a good view of the TV.
Floors are cold hard tile.
The bathroom… oh boy. So the toilet and shower are in a room together — walled in by floor-​to-​ceiling frosted glass. Not quite frosted enough that you can’t see what somebody is doing on the other side though. Creates a rather awkward toilet experience.
The shampoo, conditioner and body wash are pump-​style dispensers, with very easily removable lids. It wouldn’t be difficult for the previous guest to put something else in them. I didn’t use them. Seems kind of gross.
The sink is outside the bathroom, in the room with the bed. The lighting is over-​head, so makeup application will be almost impossible.
The refrigerator is mostly mini-​bar, with no pricing, and no menu.
The guest-​allotted space is just enough for a bottle of wine and maybe a sandwich. Seriously. it’s small.
The bed is great — except I had a hard time getting to sleep because the music in the hallway could easily be heard in my room.
Parking:
$ 22 per night even if you are a guest.
The final bill showed $ 24.61 for parking each night.
The rooftop bar:
It overlooks the parking lot. Lame.
We stayed Saturday and Sunday — The bar was completely dead both nights.
Honestly, this place looks and feels like a renovated Motel 6.

Pretty nifty boutique hotel, which I discovered using the Hotel Tonight app. Affordable, modern and recently renovated, the Moment is a good option for that in-​between traveler who wants something trendy but doesn’t want to plop down $ 400 for the night. The staff was very friendly and attentive.
Although it’s in Hollywood, it’s not exactly in the middle of of the action. The Woods (from Swingers fame) is about a 5 block walk. Other than that you’ll want to drive or cab wherever you’re going.
Overall I was really pleased and would stay here again no brainer.
