Hollywood 7 Star Motel

Despite the outside appearance, the room itself was modern, clean and very comfortable. Nice soft sheets and soft bed. Good locations - easy walking distance from both the Walk of Fame and Runyon (great for views over LA and the Hollywood sign). Fairly cheap frozen yoghurt place just around the corner.

The outside of the Motel, and the reception area looks pretty run down and messy, so it doesn't give a great first impression, especially when arriving in the dark. Check-in process was a bit slow. Walls are thin, so I could hear the people in the hallway throughout the night.

The room was pretty modern with grey hardwood flooring and nice bathroom tile. The bed was really comfortable and the room had huge windows. However there was a lot of dings on the door.

You could hear all the cars driving by/people passing down the hall. Parking garage has a gate so an employee came out to see if we were guests and even after I showed her my email confirmation she didn’t remember seeing my name so she was very hesitant letting me in. We tried to use the A/C but apparently you can’t use it if someone above you is using it?? Also the refundable room deposit was $100 for one night! I get that it’ll be refunded but that’s still a big hold on your card. Also you are given an actual key for your room with a keychain as big as a credit card so it’s kind of a hassle to carry around if you don’t have a big bag.

Location is strategis. Walking distance to walk of fame or centre of tourist.
