W Hollywood

great location; the neighbourhood is much better than I thought. the metro station is right at the front gate of the hotel.

Comfortable beds, friendly staff, parking for guest is $36/day, very convenient location to night life, no extra cost to use gym, a lot of tourist attractions are really close by. The Grove is like a 5-10 min drive away. Universal Studio's is 8 mins away. LAX is half hour away with no traffic. Gorgeous hotel with high class ambiance. Pool parties are every Friday and Saturdays at Drais. It's pet friendly. They even have a meals for cats and dogs on the room service menu. Cons: Room service charges 20% gratuity, $4 delivery, and some other service charge, but it's 24 hours. Drais (night club) is located on the top of the hotel. It's $20 to get in. The W Hotel said that the club is separate from the hotel and Drais does not give discount to hotel guest, however you can sign up on Drais guest list online and it would be $10pp. Don't expect to take a nap during the day on a Fri or Sat. The music and people from Drais is quite loud. Late check out is at 1pm. ...read more

Central location was good but there are not many services close to the hotel compared with some others. There was a Trader Joes and a couple of good restaurants down near Sunset Blvd.

I stayed for family travel. If you want to have a party or have club experience, It can be a good choice. But, not for the family travel. In the club in the lobby, there is a lot of people play till dawn. The sound of music and the noise of peoples all over the night and they go to bed room with lots of noise too. The room is well-decorated. But, very small. The location is not bad. It takes only about 30 minutes by walk to the chinese theater. If I have a plan to go that area, I'll choose other place to sleep. ...read more

I would not recommend the hotel if you have small children. Close to attractions, less than a 5 minute drive to Universal Studios. Short drive to Santa Monica Pier.

they put a
xxx hold on your card at check in regardless of how much you pay for your room. parking in their garage is $40.00 a night

There are some amazing restuarants just up from the hotel - in an area called Janes house - it seems to be where alot of locals go. There is a fantastic Meditteranean restarant hidden in the back of the area (its also a hookah lounge) even if you dont want to smoke hookah the food is fantastic and very reasonably priced. Our server Alex was AMAZING, she has so many good tips for our trip ...read more
