The room smelled like cigarets, the AC and half the lights didn't work, and after I killed the third cockroach I left to sleep in my car.

The man who checked me in was OUTRAGEOUSLY MEAN AND UNNECESSARILY RUDE to me upon check-in ... He made me feel TOTALLY UNWELCOME and that he didn't want me there -- There is a very small cash deposit due upon check-in and I apologized and told him that I had stayed here a few months ago, and I forgot about that, as it is the ONLY hotel that I've stayed at in the US and Europe and South America that requires a CASH deposit --NOT CREDIT CARD -- He got SUPER ANGRY AT ME!!! He shouted at me "If you stayed here a long time ago or short time ago you should know!!!" -- My mouth dropped to the floor!! -- I couldn't believe it -- I asked him if I could check-in and then return in 20 minutes with the cash -- he said yes. The room was nice, clean -- but his unnecessary meanness to me (I'm almost 60 years of age) a COMPLETE STRANGER and a customer who had just paid to stay there for 5 nights has officially made me not EVER EVER EVER want to do business with Hollywood La Brea Inn EVER again. LOTS of other hotels in Hollywood! Thank you -- Rick Worthy, Actor & Producer ("The Magicians" - NBC/Syfy Network )

was a reliable hotel stay with great location within walking distance to the walk of fame, free parking, rooms were satisfactory for the price, spacious and had a fridge inside. Only downer was the noise. the walls are thin you can hear you neighbor or people out in the hallway balcony. Other than that the hotel was good stay.

Good not expensive alternative to anything else.
It;s not Hilton for sure, it is ancient motel style place. But it is the best in its price category. It is safe, has free parking and stays literally on the Walk of Fame. It is kept well, not filthy I haven't seen any roaches or stuff like that. No noise at night, liquor store is at the gate :-). If you are not able to spend too much money it will be good for you. Otherwise, go to Loews Hollywood and stop writing bad reviews about this place. :-))

Stay at ur own risk
During checkin it seemed as the guy was having a bad day. He was upset about something and demanding payment without explaining what it was for. When asked if he was ok he shouted back that he was fun and if I was ok and I have to pay at that moment for what I did not know. Someone from the back came out and they talked in their native language and that seemed to clam the guy down as his tone had changed with me and finally got an explanation on why I had to put money down for a deposit for the key card and remote control. Room was nice size but dirty floors, strands of long hair here and there, bathroom shower trickled water, bed was hard, walls very thin and you could hear things happening all around. TV mostly had blue screen as satellite. This didn’t pick up channels so it was worthless to have a remote control. Last day u can hear a tenant having words with the front desk in the parking lot a disagreement of some sort.

Waiting to get coffee in the morning because homeless people were getting their cup. Arrived at 1pm and check in was 3pm. Asked if we could leave the car and go get lunch and check in when we return. Yes, at a rate of $10 per hour despite being a guest for 3 nights. Went to get in the car with our kids and found a completely nude woman touching herself by our car. Shouting profanity. Management did nothing.

The rooms and bathrooms itself are ok but need more attention. I found a bug crawling on the air conditioner. The tv also did not work. Only picked up a few Asian channels and that’s it. Remotes need to be fixed. The main guy in the office is rude and needs to change his attitude. Too much loud noise late at night. People stomping and screaming while we tried to sleep. Wouldn’t recommend this place unless you’re staying 1 or 2 nights the most. Only good thing it’s close to the Hollywood Blvd walk of fame

It’s great if your in a budget.
It’s in a perfect spot if you’re going to universal studios , Hollywood , the observatory etc, for the price it works . We have stayed here a couple of times this last time we had some loud neighbors but eventually they quiet down , but other ritmé had no complaints. It’s small a little run down but for the price it the one of the best , if your on a budget , the service was friendly not much that we needed from them only check in And check out , parking got full at night so definitely didn’t want to move my car later that 8 pm , it worked just fine for us for a 3 day trip to LA we basically just needed somewhere to rest that was close to everything and safe to leave my car at night .

This motel is literally on Hollywood Blvd just a few blocks from Mann’s Chinese Theater. The staff at the front desk can be extremely rude at times. They ask you to leave a $20 deposit for your room key and TV remote! That being said, I have stayed here several times because of its amazing location.

Hollywood La Brea Roaches, Mold, and Dirt on my!😱
We stayed at Hollywood La Brea inn and the room was a huge disappointment upon arrival. From dirty sheets, dried blood and urine on mattress covers, mold in bathrooms, dead roaches on the floor, urine on the toilet seat , rude staff, and no working tv in one of our rooms. Our rooms we’re located at the very bottom area in the corner and random guest we’re knocking on our door at 3am. "Complementary breakfast “ consists of stale coffee and a little Debbie’s hunny bun. Beds and pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. Plumbing is an issue as well. Our sink and tub took a while to drain. Very tight parking spaces and homeless people all around. Needless to say, We’ll never stay here again. Save your money and time and book somewhere else. You’ve been warned.

Great spot in Hollywood
Location is great just steps away from beginning of walk of fame. If you just need a place to sleep then this is your spot. No frills just a room with basic necessities when you don’t want to spend a lot on a room and parking.

Right on Hollywood blvd ( star of Elvis and the Beatles just steps away) and yet out of the way of foot traffic, its tucked behind a corner plaza so kind of hidden which we like but getting to it durring heavy traffic may be a pain. If you plan to park you car and just walk everywhere else like we did its perfect. Just dont forget your walking shoes. Minor issues like a leaky sink handle seem small when your out most of the time. No breakfast but they offer coffee. Overall it was a good stay and I would cone back.

Hidden Gem!! Perfect location in.the heart of Hollywood at La Brea and Hollywood Blvd - Excellent prices and no ridiculous $100 per night Security deposit as are many hotels in LA and New York -- It ain't the Hilton, but so what!?? Get out and enjoy the LA 💯♥️♥️.

Handing someone a remote and requesting a $20 deposit for it set very low expectations at check-in. However the room was very clean but for sure dated. Everyone around the property appeared pretty sober 😁
