Americas Best Value Inn – Hollywood/Los Angeles

I was able to get this place around 100 bucks a night — it was worth it for the most part, although having to work from the Hotel, it wasn’t a very fun room to be stuck in lol. But as for a place to sleep, shower and go outdoors, it does the trick — it has on site parking, although it can run out late at night. If I stayed here again, I probably would leave my car and take an Über somewhere after dinner. I will say the Wifi was plenty good enough for me to do my work on.

THE Area Is Not A Place To Hang Around. It needs to Be Cleaned more Appealing to People
House cleaning doesn’t Happen unless You Ask
Didn’t like that the Snack Machine didn’t work
Needs To Matain Clean Sheets and Towels
And can get very noisy.

I came up to LA for the weekend for business and figured I’d give this place a shot since I’d never been before. They offer free parking for guests which is nice however you definitely wanna get a car parked and just über because later in the evening it becomes hard to get a car in this place.
The room was clean and maintained which is a huge plus, the bed was also clean… No stains or anything.
Bathroom was also clean and maintained.
Overall I was impressed with this place and I’ll probably come back to use it again in the future.

Its okay. Limited space to park its about 6 and 1 disabled. Bring ur own towel and rag theirs is rough. Its not bad for the buck. Nice bathroom. I will attach pictures.

Thank you Inish for your hospitality (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) He and most of the staff are the nicest Managers and hotel/​motel/​Inn personnel I have come in contact for a long time! My husband has been in KP since Tuesday… we checked in on Monday… with our circumstances being what they are they were very compassionate and helpful with information as we are out of the area 100 miles away from our home. Inish has under is wing a new personnel in the front office I have named shriek… you will know him upon meeting him. He is new to the business and I wish him well… and manners :)
The rooms are clean and newly redecorated… the manager is adding new services all the time… their continental breakfast is improving… don’t expect much now but I have it on authority it will be better… but for now it is just enough to start your morning. The price point is great… sign up for membership and you can get their special where ever they are.
Clean…safe …I recommend this Americas Best Value Inn, Sunset Hollywood… and after what I have been thru this week… this is a home away from home. Thank You !!!

As I’m writing this in still here lol
Laying in the bed which is comfortable but noisy
They have a fridge & microwave which is awesum, The room is super nice hard wood floors, nice chair, TV & wood lamps.
Checking in was fast n he was very nice.
I would definitely come back again!!!

Four starts because for the same price in other hotels in the area you get cheap looking dirty rooms. This place has been recently renovated, everything seemed very up to date. The sink handle jiggled a little bit but other than that I had a nice stay. Clean and affordable, would stay in again.

What an amazing hotel!!! Booked it on a guess the rate kinda site and even though it is a ways from WeHo it was just what I hoped for and then some.
Hardwood floors, fridge, microwave, free breakfast and parking. Good size bathroom and shower. For the price it cant be beat.
I stayed at a same star hotel in Eincinata earlier that week and it was awful!!! This goes to show its about the owners who operate the hotel not the name. These owners actually care about their product.
Minus a star for the heavy water pressure in the shower and that weird sign in process. They make you fill out a physical copy of your ID.
Anyway ill definitely be back.

This place was great. Rooms are very clean and newly renovated. Paco up front is very friendly and professional. And the price is great! Not to mention only a $ 10 über ride to all the bars on the sunset strip. Will stay here again ;-)

Rooms were average but the people were very nice and accommodating. The water pressure is outstanding got to love it. Housekeeping does a great job cleaning up in the rooms always spell great. The parking sucks! The pool is very little and not the cleanest but it’s very nice to sit next to and relax. I love the Meriel’s. Pricing could be better but it’s not the worst I would recommend this stay for it is located in the middle of everything.

We had the pleasure of staying here at our recent stay in L.A. this hotel was lovely little hidden treasure. Not only was check in friendly and quick but the staff was very helpful. I found everyone to be kind and gracious.
Our room was clean and comfortable. The bed was AMAZING. There was a mini fridge and microwave which was great for having snacks. The bathroom was clean, no mold or other creepy stuff growing. I also like that they had soap and shampoo dispensers in the bathroom instead of small bottles that are never enough. We had plenty of towels and the cleaning staff kept everything well taken care of.
As for the pool we did learn it wasn’t heated and was very cold. that however did not keep son from enjoying it. We loved the artwork on the wall around the pool.
As for the neighborhood it was nice. Everyone we met was friendly and kind. We were close to a metro stop so getting around town was easy.
Over all one of the best stays we have had. I would highly recommend this place and will be returning myself on next visit.

Unilocalers usually never steer me wrong but I was wrong for staying here. I will never stay here again.
Check in was easy, however the parking lot is tiny. Good luck trying to find a parking and when you do, beware because the guy at the front desk will call you to move your car somewhere else.
The room, upon entering, had THE strongest smell of bleach and chemicals. I had to open the door and window for half an hour to lessen the smell. The bed was firm and had the same strong bleach odor. When I woke up the next day, I had broken out all over my face. I knew for sure it was from the sheets.
Oh, and the «free» breakfast is more like coffee, orange juice and packaged pastries in a basket. Nothing special. Nothing you couldn’t find at a 7 eleven.
Unilocalers beware, spend the extra money to go somewhere else like I should’ve done.

I used to live in the Hollywood area and have often passed by this location when I was doing my weekly chores. Now I have moved out to the boondocks, but I needed a room for a one night stay that was metro-​adjacent, safe, and clean and this location came to mind. I also shopped around on Unilocal and read reviews for other motels located between Western and Union Station however I decided to book with America’s Best for $ 80 (2 person; booked via Hipmunk/​Yelp straight from this page).
Some of the reviews (and pictures) that you see here are pretty dated; they show moldy bathroom fixtures and ripped furniture. I’m happy to report that my room (105; on the lower level) was NOTHING like that. As others have stated this motel has gone through an upgrade and it paid off (while the outside still looks kind of «dated» the inside was modern and both myself and Bridgette L. were impressed with how the room looked).
Although the room wasn’t the largest it was comfortable for two people. The bed was in the middle and had an individual nightstand and light on either side. During daylight hours the large window provided enough natural light; however the curtains were thick enough to darken the room when it was time to sleep. Each side of the bed also had it’s own wall light and 2 outlets for electronic devices. The room also featured a large TV (with cable; we ended up drunkenly watching MTV for most of the morning), a large desk/​counter space, a microwave, and a mini fridge. They also provide you with the wifi code upon check-​in and I found their wifi to be wonderful; the connection was strong and I didn’t get bumped off once during my stay. The bathroom was divided with the toilet/​shower in a separate room from the sink/​counter space meaning one of us could shower and get ready and the other one could fix her hair and do her makeup. That was a big plus. The bathroom was stocked with shampoo and conditioner and 2 rolls of toilet paper. There was no shower gel, and I had forgot to bring my own, however the 99c store across the street was an easy fix to that as I was able to run over and buy soap and a loofah. There was also a hair dryer, several hangers in the open closet space, and an iron and board neatly put in the corner.
America’s best also has a pool; which we did not visit, allows for one parking space per room (not assigned, but from my room I could see almost every space; also if you are a party with multiple cars, as I had originally planned, the 99c lot across the street, or nearby street parking, is also a viable option for you), and has an ice machine and soda vending machine. Although it requires a long walk (or short Metro trip) to the «main» part of Hollywood blvd the motel has a lot of amenities around it: the 99c store, Walgreens, Panda Express, Dominos Pizza, Starbucks, McDonalds, and Food For Less are a few that come to mind. For those of you who are visiting the motel is located close to the Metro Red Line, and is also serviced by bus lines ²⁄₃₀₂ with a stop right outside.
During my visit I interacted with 2 office workers and also the cleaning lady. Every member of staff that I interacted with was friendly and helpful. Checking in was easy (with a check-​in time of 3PM; I just needed my ID and the CC that I booked with, and made a copy of both) and checking out was even easier (with a check-​out time of 11AM and I just needed to return my keycard). The motel seemed to be pretty busy (all the parking spaces were full by the night and I walked passed several different guests) but there was no noise from the other rooms and Bridgette and I were able to get a peaceful nights sleep. As Bridgette also mentioned in her review they offered a selection of pasties and juices (as well as coffee) during the morning hours.
Overall I am very happy with my stay and I would gladly book here again if the need arises, and I would feel comfortable recommending it to anyone that needed a place to crash for the night. I found this motel to be convenient, safe, clean, affordable, and well ran. 5 stars from me.

Pretty nice hotel. For the price ($ 80) not bad. The room was neatly done, came with a fridge and microwave. Cable, Free wifi and free breakfast from 8 am to 10am provided. There’s also a pool additionally the hotel is located right in front of a 99 cents store so if you do need anything you can find it for cheap right across the street.
Everything was clean and towels were well stocked.
The only minor issue I noticed was the toilet wasn’t flushing because the water wasn’t refilling in the bowl. Other than that minor issue nice hotel and staff is very nice

MUST READ REVIEW!
All I have to say is WOW! I was looking on
for a hotel that was cheap and close to all the main attractions like Universal Studios, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, Etc.
I ended up booking here for the cheap price and great location. By the pictures, I didn’t expect much. But let me tell you, the pictures don’t do this hotel justice. When I walked into the room, I was shocked how nice it was. Everything is brand new and fully remodeled. Wood Floors, Big Comfortable Bed, Big Flat Screen TV, Refrigerator, Microwave, Free Wi-​Fi, Computer Desk Area, and also Free Parking!
I couldn’t believe how nice it was and how many extras this room had, for the price I paid. And I stayed in the cheapest room. I can’t wait to go back and stay in the even nicer ones. In Addition to that, the management are very professional and courteous. And they have a great breakfast too!
This room compares to $ 200+ a night hotels that I have stayed at. This place is seriously a hidden gem and I am going to stay here every single time that I am in Los Angeles! 5 STAR HOTEL!

Excellent value for the location! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The front desk staff, were above and beyond helpful and we had good parking. Continental breakfast is served in the morning, nothing fancy: juice, toast, Svenhard’s danishes, mini scones & brownie bites. Would definitely stay here again!

It may not look like much on the outside at first glance but this place is newly furnished on the inside, clean and comfortable. The walls are thick as I couldn’t hear my next door neighbors except when they were using the faucets, as the water pressure is a bit strong. This place is mostly quiet though, I was able to get a full night’s sleep every night I stayed. They have free wifi and complimentary breakfast too! 5 minutes away from Hollywood Blvd. (mind you, by car) 15 from ktown and 5 – 10 minutes from downtown L.A. I LOVED this place. Highly recommended.

I just thought I would post some pictures of the breakfast area. I have read some reviews and they say that the breakfast is a joke and there is no seating…

This hotel was great for our one-​night stay after seeing a concert in the area. We were expecting a simple, cheap, no-​frills place to sleep (which it was), but we were pleasantly surprised to find the room was nicely renovated with hard floors, new furniture and lighting, and a big flat-​screen tv (not that we really needed any of that, but they were nice perks!).
Pros: Free and safe parking (car visible from room). Free continental breakfast. Helpful front desk staff. Non-​disruptive clientele. Very effective air conditioning and heating. Newly renovated rooms for a very reasonable price.
Cons: Not too much to do in the immediate area, so it’s not a very «walkable» location. But popular spots on Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard are a short drive down the street, so if you’re willing to deal with parking (which is to be expected), then it’s not too bad. The bed was loud and squeaky so it was difficult to move or get in and out without disruption. Sheets felt overly-​cleaned, as though there was a film of detergent lingering on the surface (although I’d rather have them be too clean than not clean enough – eww). Not many toiletries provided in the rooms, just a soap dispenser that offers the basics: hand soap, shower gel, and shampoo.
We would recommend this hotel and stay again, because it was everything we expected, considering the price, location, and chain «brand.»

All I can say is «STAY AWAY». I booked a student from Belgium here who was on a low budget (otherwise would have never considered this place) and after her return she said it was awful, not very clean and the staff was rude.
After her return to Belgium she discovered that the hotel had charged her twice, once in January and once in March and I tried to contact the owner who keeps avoiding me. It is June now and she still has not received a credit. So be aware and do N O T stay here
