Hotels near Academy of Magical Arts

"Dan at the bar was so kind and helpful! Location is great, hotel is cute and their amenities came in handy. "

"Everything was GREAT!"

"This iconic hotel located in the heart of Hollywood near all tourist attractions is simply overrated and overpriced!! It may have been a legendary hotel at one time, but it is 2026 and they ain't it anymore. Pool is decent but the snacks suck! Staff is rude and the manager tried to charge me for an extra night after I called reception ahead of time to let them know I was only spending 3 nights there instead of 4. I had just flown cross country, was exhausted, and jetlagged, and all I wanted to do was lay down in the bed in my room. The manager (obviously foreign because he barely spoke English) made me wait over an hour to check in. Will I go back, definitely not in the "high season" when they easily rip off tourists with exuberant price. I MIGHT consider going back if the staff takes some hospitality courses on how to be POLITE to a customer. Still a cool place to party if that's what you do, but the days of celebrities staying there and partying long into the morning doing lines of coke and drinking cheap boozer are over!! Final warning: be careful when you book. It's extremely difficult to contact the front desk directly. The manage will claim that it is a 3rd party's fault. New management is desperately needed!!!"

"The location was very good, easy to get to the strip & all the Hollywood spots. Room & pool were clean & very functional. Good bang for your buck"

"Everything was near, only bad thing was our first room shower didn't work nor bathroom and sheets were dirty. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. But the new room was still pretty dirty pubes in the bathroom "

"Nice place to stay easy location "

"Clean, comfortable and close to where we needed to be. Only complaint was there was no way to change the direction of the AC vent if youre sleeping on the side of the bed where it is at. Also not great, ordering TGIF's late because food didnt come our great."

"Great stay! Very convenient for our reservation at the castle. The room was comfy, very clean and spacious. It’s as old building so things creak a lot but it was part of the charm for us. Staff was helpful and friendly. We loved the snacks and ice cream!! "

"Staff were wonderful and fantastic location right next to the nicest bit of Hollywood Blvd. Room was very clean. Knocking off one star because walls were thin and some noise from hallway, next door, and room above. Bed mattress had seen better days too."
