Hollywood Seven Star Motel

You get what you pay for. People look for cheap rooms and then complain when the rooms are, well, cheap. The staff was very friendly to me. The check in process can be a little slow because everything is done manually and on paper. The room was fine. Nice, big bathroom.
If the sound of cars bother you request a room away from the street. I was on the side along the street and could definitely hear the cars. This did not bother me at all and I expect in when staying in the city but I could see how it could bother others. Location was great and could get Downtown in about 20 minutes (depending on traffic). I would stay here again for sure.

Absolute Dump, constant smell of Marijuana. The entrance and exit is the same, but only enough room for 1 car. The air conditioner was not good enough to cool down the room. I was scheduled for 2 nights but only stayed for 1 and of course they still charged me for 2 nights. You have been warned.

I’m not sure what people are complaining about. I had a great stay at the Hollywood Seven star hotel. The staff was friendly and my room was clean. The people that are leaving negative reviews it looks like are disabled (I am not). So to me this place was great, kinda old school but are you really spending that much time in your room? Basically if you can walk up one flight of stairs then you’re good.

It is kind of ghetto but i loved the old school rooms and staff. Very accommodating front desk clerks. It wasnt too bad for what i paid for and i would definitely book a room there again and recommend it to others.

I was severely disappointed with this hotel. It has secure free underground parking but it is hard to maneuver with a mini van or larger vehicle and you have to get out to access entry by putting in a code and wait for someone at the front desk to open the gate, if they were away from the front, you have to wait for a while. There are also metal things (I don’t know what they are) sticking up from the ground that are easy to trip over. I took pictures after I fell from tripping on one. There is no elevator from the parking garage to the hotel so you have to go up a 2 flights of stairs to get to the lobby. If you are disabled this is NOT THE HOTEL FOR YOU! We were told our reservation for a first floor room was unavailable and we were given a 2^nd flood room. Again there is no elevator and we would have to use the stairs. I use oxygen and my companion uses a walker, this was not an option. After telling the front desk that they were not ADA compliant, a first floor room was suddenly available. This room was spacious and lovely to look at with granite counters and Pergo flooring. It was relatively clean although there was hair and some dirt on my socks when I walked around. I used the shower and there was NO hot water (nor at the sink) When I pulled back the covers on my bed, there was a dinner plate size reddish-​brown stain near the head. I chose to sleep on top of the covers. My companion had fallen earlier in the evening and hurt her knees. When I asked for ice, the man at the front desk gave me a 5 oz styrofoam cup of ice. I asked for more and he said «That should be enough.» When I explained she had fallen, he then gave me 4 cups altogether. He seemed more concerned that she had fallen vs getting her the ice she needed. The staff was rude unless confronted with the lack of ADA compliance or involving an injury. They were less concerned about making sure we were accommodated vs their reputation. Later in the night our toilet backed up. No one answered the front desk when we tried to call, so I had to go down to the front lobby to get help. I had to wait until someone came. I told the man about the toilet and he said, «What do you want me to do about it? it’s too late to call a plumber.» I said, «You need to come fix it. Don’t you have a plunger?» He said yes, but he couldn’t find it. He went running around the hotel looking for it, so I went back to my room. About 5 mins. later he knocked at our door with a plunger. He then proceeded to accuse us of putting too much TP down the toilet. In stead of offering to fix it he handed my companion the plunger and told her to fix it. (which she did). Although the bed was comfortable and the room décor was spacious and nice, the experience was less than good.

First of all, it’s relatively clean, the day people were friendly enough, and even though you get the feeling there are safer areas, there are security measures in place. The bed was comfortable. The room was cheap. Everything is near here — we went to a show at the Roxy. I saw no bullet holes, roaches or rats. Parking is free. WiFi wasn’t the worst I’ve had. That’s the good.
We stayed there one night. They are not ADA compliant. If you’re disabled, as we are, don’t even think about staying here. Steep stairs are everywhere. I specifically requested a first floor room — they tried to stick us on the second floor. There is no elevator. When we told them we needed a first floor room, they found one. The bed sheets on one bed were stained red.
The final straw was when the toilet backed up at midnight. We called the manager, he told us it was too late to do anything. We told him we weren’t staying in a room with a non-​functioning toilet. I finally told him to get me a plunger and I would fix the toilet myself. It took him nearly an hour to find a plunger, whereupon I fixed the toilet myself. I’m a 54 year old disabled woman.

Unilocalers be ware, this place is really a dump! I really don’t know how this place has passed any city code… Could it be that the inspector is related to the Asian workers at the hotel. Read the paper at the entrance of the dump and you will see.
Second, they do not respect reservations because even when you get there they don’t know who you are. Bring a Lysol bottle is you have already booked your room.
The rooms are HORRIBLE, do not bring kids this hotel is Xrated. Although the rooms say no smoking the rooms smell like perfused smoke and who knows what else. Windows were broken from gun shots and so much furniture it was ridiculous.
Please stay away from this hotel, unless you like to smoke and don’t have any sanitary morals.
Safe endeavors.

Terrible experience! ! I live in Orange County and bought tickets to a show at the Palladium on October 28^th and decided that it would be smart to get a cheap motel room for myself, my boyfriend and 2 of our friends. Since the 2 other friends are guys we decided to go with the 7 Star Motel because they offered a room with one queen bed, and 2 full beds. I booked the room in advance in August on
and received a confirmation for the triple room. About a week before the concert, I called to confirm my reservation and was told that all is fine and that I did not need to bring any information other than my id and credit card. The day of the show we drove out early to check in and get ready. we show up around 3 and I go to the front desk and tell the guy I have a reservation. He asks how many people and for everyone’s id’s so we let him mame copies. He asked if we wanted to see the room first and I said I didn’t think it was necessary. I filled out the guest card and was about to give him my credit card when he asked again if I wanted to see the room first. I found that a bit strange so I said that yes, I would like to see the room first. We followed him to a room with only 2 beds and when I told him my reservation was for 3 beds he basically called me a liar, and said that I booked a room with 2 beds and that they didn’t have a room with 3 beds available. He offered to wheel a small cot from down the hall but wanted to charge $ 5. I. repeatedly told him that I reserved 3 beds and every time I started to speak, he would raise his voice and say that I was lying. of course I didn’t have my confirmation with me cause I was told I didn’t need it… my boyfriend was not happy with me. … we ended up walking out extremely upset and frustrated not knowing what to do with the concert a couple hours away and I was not ready. we ended up finding a room at the Days Inn on Sunset and had a great experience however, one of my friends had to sleep on the floor cause we couldn’t find a room with 3 beds. I received a call around 10:30 from the 7 Star from someone else asking why I didn’t show up. I explained the situation and he was very upset saying they did have me down for 3 beds, and the room was available. He didn’t know why the guy acted the way he did and he apologized profusely. I was told I would still be charged by
as a no show but the 7 Star ended up refunding the money to me. Apparently the guy didn’t know I went through
but I don’t see how that would make a difference.. I was also told that the employee was «disciplined». Also, the property and rooms were very outdated and dirty. either have your paperwork in order, or just stay away altogether.
