Book a hotel near Hollywood Palladium, Hollywood

"I stayed one night at The Godfrey Hollywood while in LA for a medical appointment at Cedars-Sinai. Not a vacation — just a guest who needed a quiet place to rest before a stressful day. Between Expedia notifications, emails, and texts, I received a flood of messages for a single overnight stay — I have screenshots across all three channels. Major hotel brands are deliberate about when and how they communicate. The Godfrey's approach felt indiscriminate and created unnecessary stress. The fees compounded things. This is not a resort. Charging a Vegas-style resort fee on top of expensive parking felt more like a revenue strategy than hospitality — and it wasn't clearly communicated upfront. The check-in experience set the tone for all of it. The front desk staff was completely transactional — mechanical and disengaged. No warmth, no acknowledgment that you were a human being. In hospitality, that first impression is everything. The Director of Rooms did reach out and apologize, which I appreciated. But an apology doesn't fix a systemic problem. I won't be returning for my upcoming follow-up visits — which would have been recurring business. Future guests: know the fees upfront, brace for your inbox, and don't expect a warm welcome at the door."

"Love it"

"Pleasantly surprised. Easy check in and check out. Clean and with everything you need. Industrial vibe. Walkable to some places. Target near by. Three to four blocks away Gelsons market and restaurants. Food & drinks Some places near by, otherwise three to four blocks away. No vending and no ice. Could use ice trays. Hotel highlights: Great view, Quiet, Great value, High-tech"

"It was just fine. I was a little uncomfortable with the no staff on-site system. I would have preferred someone watching the front vs the kiosk system they have. They were helpful enough but just not what I was expecting. The room was tiny and in just ok shape. The morning coffee machine was a treat. "

"Amazing stay. Love this hotel! "
