Staff was great. Helpful, kind, always welcoming. Diner in the hotel was phenomenal. Great dessert the first night, breakfast the next morning was even better! Hotel was very cool especially for kids and teens who love the Hollywood/Celebrity connection. All of the vintage/modern furniture and accessories really made it feel fun and cool without being old and outdated.

I loved my stay at the Hollywood Franklin. The valet parking with unlimited in/out was affordable and very useful. The aesthetic was really striking, I loved the touches of Old Hollywood, and it made for a comfortable and satisfying stay. I also loved the huge bathroom and shower. Would definitely stay again.

Charming little hotel with close proximity to everything Hollywood and L.A. Pool was refreshing and grounds were nice. Super cool vibe.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Friendly staff, good location, need better shower water pressure, get stains out of carpet, had issues trying to get a working iron, A/C was tedious to deal with, valet service should have been better for what you pay for (sometimes not there, sometimes they handed you your keys and told you to get your own car).

Loved the old Hollywood theme of the hotel. The front desk and valet were both super friendly and helpful. Rooms and hotel were clean and newly renovated. My only complaint is the AC in the room is very noisy. Overall a very pleasant stay with a helpful, friendly staff.

We stayed one night when we went to a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Loved the vibe of the hotel and especially the restaurant, food was delicious… closed down the tiny bar downstairs after our concert which we actually just walked back from. Definitely will stay there for next concert.
