We loved our stay at the Hollywood Franklin hotel. It was the perfect little gateway, the room was very clean and staff were friendly. The location was perfect we were just a few blocks away from Hollywood blvd. The Franklin lounge had very cool and chill vibes and the bartender made delicious cocktails. We even had breakfast at the Clark Street diner the morning we checked out, it was very good! I would highly recommended staying at the Franklin it was the cutest and affordable little boutique hotel.

The room was nice for the most part. Beds were a little tough and sleeping in them was just so so. The bathroom did not have a vent fan, so the window had to stay open the whole time. This meant that all the street noise could be heard. There was build up all over the window frame that looked like mold, but not sure if it was or wasn't. It was very close to the Pantages theater and Amoeba music, which was nice. Not sure if we would stay there again considering how much it cost compared to the beds and bathroom window.

The property was very quaint, and the staff was amazing. The hotel is older but it was very charming. I think they need a better way to do the laundry.As the towels did not smell, fresh and the carpets needed to be shampooed. The location of the hotel is close to hollywood and also close to universal studios. The area around there when walking.You have to watch your surroundings though.But that's typical, in most cities.Anyway. Overall, I enjoyed my visit there.And I would stay again

This was my 2nd stay. The hotel is very comfortable and reasonably priced compared to anything nearby. It is walkable to the Pantages Theater and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We were allowed early check-in (12:30pm), which was wonderful. Over night valet parking is also very reasonable compared to nearby hotels. The onsite restaurant is fantastic and very popular. Another BONUS is that the hotel has a HUGE collection of rare Hollywood paraphernalia adorning the halls and stairwells, which is fun to browse. Each room has an homage to some classic movies. I will be back. 😉
