Best customer service! Run down rooms, no elevator. If you have luggages, you will have to carry it upstairs. But I guess the proximity to walk of fame and the free amenities makes up for it. I hope they will do renovations soon. Love to be back and stay here again!

Excellent stay at the Magic Castle. Staff were amazing. Super friendly and helpful. All the services on offer makes this hotel a fantastic choice to stay at. Free laundry, snacks, soft serve, popsicles and the best popcorn we have ever had. Hotel has aged over time but it is a charming Hollywood motel that has so much character and a wonderful management team behind it.

This is our new go-to spot in L.A. Is it the newest place around? No, but it far more than makes up for that with character and personality. Speaking of character and personality, the front desk manager, Kevin, has both in abundance. We’ve been traveling as a couple for close to 50 years, and I’ve never been greeted in such a fun, welcoming manner. He made us feel like royalty. When you encounter positive customer service it’s so refreshing, and Kevin was amazing. We’re already planning our next trip so we can stay here again!

The front desk was the star of the show. All the little freebies and perks they have that are not typical of most hotels like free snacks and a "popsicle hotline" at the pool where you pick up the phone and ask for a popsicle and someone comes and hands you a one. The room prices are quite reasonable. It's a unique place to stay and will stay there next time we visit LA if there's availability.

Aside from the staff and the pool, this place is worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Please do not stay in room 203. The shower faucets leak like crazy and never get hot. The kitchen faucet was barely holding on. The balcony was so dirty I couldn't stay out there. Summary - not fun!
