Comfort Inn Los Angeles Near Hollywood

“Overall okay but a few niggles”

Overall a decent enough stay for the price however there were several places they could make improvements. 1. It's relatively noisy with guests walking overhead, and dropping things from 5am.

Overall a decent enough stay for the price however there were several places they could make improvements. 1. It's relatively noisy with guests walking overhead, and dropping things from 5am. I'm assuming they're heading for early flights? (we were on the 2nd floor) 2. There are only three tables in the breakfast area which quickly fill so assume that breakfast will be in your room. There are no trays which would make things easier. 3. Having to reprogram your key every day is a pain - You might come down to collect breakfast for example but be unable to re-enter your room. In all my days traveling I have never experienced this before. 4. The pillows are lumpy and hard. This seems by design? So, if you are looking for a budget hotel this would be a reasonable choice. We didn't experience any of the problems some other guests complained about (The staff were helpful and the room clean (We had the do not disturb sign out for three days and were not disturbed) there were no public announcements). If you are a light sleeper you might suffer from some very early mornings (4.30am this morning) due to overhead noise so try and get a top floor room.

“Basic hotel and a decent option w/realistic expectations. But a few things to note.”

Comfort Inn provides a solid, basic, 2-star hotel option in Los Angeles, between Echo Park and Silver Lake. If you have realistic expectations, you'll have a fine stay.

Comfort Inn provides a solid, basic, 2-star hotel option in Los Angeles, between Echo Park and Silver Lake. If you have realistic expectations, you'll have a fine stay. I stayed for 5 nights while in-town for a wedding and selected this due to budget. Overall my stay was fine (due to realistic expectations). But there are a few things other guests should know before booking: 1. Parking is an extra $12/day but it is locked and secured. Given parking costs in LA, this isn't a bad deal but that charge went into effect on in April. 2. The hotel isn't modern or really visually appealing. Even for a basic 2-star hotel, it shows its age and could use significant upgrades to make it look nicer. But then it would probably cost more. 3. Wifi is available but spotty and requires multiple logins to access. Not very strong either (in case you are working remotely). But it is accessible. 4. Housekeeping is available daily which is nice. 5. The continental breakfast was also basic but good. Food and drinks are replenished regularly and it's a nice way to save some money on a meal. 6. Location isn't bad. It's not in a pretty or charming part of Los Angeles but there are some good food spots nearby (or a quick bus ride away) and it's close to the freeway to get you anywhere in the city. 7. Staff is okay. The manager was nice but the other staff is hit or miss on knowledge or help. One gave incorrect information at check in and then neglected other key information as well (which I will mention next). Again, for a basic, 2-star hotel, you aren't going to get rock stars but if they sound unsure, push them. They should know this stuff and don't. 8. Keycards have to be recoded daily (do so at breakfast). Otherwise you cannot access the garage and TBD if you can access your room. They should tell you this at check in (but I was not told) so now you know. TBD if I would stay again, but for a value and location, it was a fine choice. Beds were not super comfortable (same with pillows) but it met overall expectations so that's that.
