My stay at the Franklin Hollywood Hotel was very disappointing. While the hotel offers valet service, the valet staff were unprofessional and lacked basic customer service. They were eating meals while receiving vehicles and offered no assistance with luggage. At check-in, the hotel made a photocopy of my ID, which felt invasive and was not disclosed on the website or booking platforms. The elevator was out of order during my stay. Staff claimed it went out that morning, but it remained nonfunctional the entire time, making it likely the issue existed longer. I was required to use the stairs, though staff did help carry my bags. The room looked modern and trendy at first, but there were hairs on the pillow, which was unacceptable. The room was stuffy with poor ventilation and extremely loud, suggesting inadequate insulation. The bathroom was nice, but the shower was very small. The TV was difficult to use and required multiple remotes just to control volume and channels. While the hotel has some vintage charm, it needs significant improvements. Overall, it felt more like a decent motel than a hotel. I cannot recommend this property in good faith.

The near universal studio was a little misleading it’s still 15 mins depending on traffic. Was a cute spot. Absolutely no parking it’s in a residential street that’s lined with cars so paying for extra valet was required. Property was updated and has a Hollywood urban feel. Pool was heated and open till 10 with fun lighting! Staff was friendly and accommodating when asked
