Legend Hotel Hollywood

Worst experience ever trying to check in to this place. I booked a room for one of my employees through
like I have done countless times before but apparently this hotel is special and they only accept payment in person, not through
like I have done multiple times before. So my employee and his niece who is visiting from Texas are trying to check in for over an hour and the guy at the desk is treating him like shit and barely speaks any English. I get
on the phone and they try and handle the payment over the phone and of course it’s still a no go only accept payment in person, I think they are being difficult on purpose, but I cant be sure!!! I have driven by the place multiple times and was impressed with the way it looked and how close it is to my home, but I will NEVER book another room here again! Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $ 20 and book your room at a reputable hotel. Read the bad reviews on here, they are there for a reason! Horrible, Horrible, Horrible customer service!!!

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE.
I went here for my birthday weekend and ended up getting multiple bug bites: my neck, leg, and arm. I had to go to the hospital during my birthday weekend people!!!
And I never write Unilocal reviews, I just wanted to be sure no one experienced what I went through. If you’re smart, find another hotel.
The décor/​location is nice and all, but cleanliness for me is a top priority.
Also, the hospitality is less than mediocre. I had to greet the front desk guy, «Good morning!» And he just muttered something under his breathe. I would not come here again.
If I could sum up this experience it would be: SMH.

Before I start, I have to point out that it does NOT look like the photos they have on here anymore. I really liked this hotel. It was a good size, clean, great location and nicely updated. Fridge and microwave. Nice vanity mirror. The AC worked VERY well lol and the bed was comfy.

Do not go here. We checked in and thought we could deal with the place for the reasonable price. Ended up having to call the police after angry Indian manager yelled at us and then moved his car to block us from leaving. Refused to give us our money back. At which point it is now 11:25 and we are all stressed out, and had to pay for a last minute hotel room on top of losing the 160 $ plus Parking at legends.
What made us request a refund to how elsewhere (didn’t end up happening obviously) was we lifted up the sheets and they were visibly soiled with brown crust. The floor was sticky, and a/​c did not work.
Also beware «yameesh p» who responds to the bad Unilocal reviews is the owner and manager. You get no one to assist when you’ve had a bad experience because it’s a one man show who runs this unclean place.
Update 4÷15÷16! Can’t get refund for hotel room we did not stay in. Better business bureau and LAPD investigating this hotel. Yameesh, your response is quick to ignore your taking money from a 21 year old nurse who DID NOT STAY IN THE ROOM! I don’t have money lying around to waste like that. Can I just get a refund for a room I didn’t stay in?! Anyways, beware to inspect the room before paying any money!

We really enjoyed this little hotel. Picked it up last minute and had apprehension from the reviews. But this is a spring break week and rooms were going for 200 plus a night and we just needed a place to sleep.
You can see it has been remodeled. And they did a great job. We had room 215. There isn’t a closet in this room, the other rooms had a small cabinet. Like I said, it was just one night so no biggie. But management may want to put a few hooks on the wall. That would be nice.
The bed was comfy. I found the room extremely clean. No blow dryer, most hotels have them these days so I don’t travel with one, but I dealt with it.
There are extra fees. Parking is 20 dollars. I don’t understand the complaints, those 200 $ a night hotels are charging 30 to 50, don’t forget the valet tip. They do have limited spaces. We didn’t have any issues. All the extra fees are listed, but I think this is how they keep their cost down. People tend to take advantage and not follow rules. I’ll follow the rules and pay less thank you very much.
The staff was very nice. We would absolutely stay here again. And the breakfast was fine. It is coffee, juice, cereal, oatmeal, apples and bananas, oh and those little packaged pastries. It’s free, they don’t have to give you anything. If you want an awsome L.A. Lunch, it will keep you going till you get it.
You are in downtown Hollywood. Yes, it’s not a great area. Be smart. Save your money for awsome food and activities. This little hotel will help.

I’m not sure if this is the same place that we’re reviewing, although I know that it is. The front desk rep was polite and accommodating. The room was clean and not very much outside noise. We would stay here again!

Your response is the same as all the others. There were so many other things I could have posted about but didn’t want to waste anymore of my time we stayed the week end of 3÷12÷16

Where’s the negative stars? This place is a joke. First– upon arrival I walk in to check in and can’t find anyone. Look over the counter and the guy was sitting on the floor on his colorful rug praying. I said hello 3 times trying to get his attention and he just sat there ignoring me. I myself am a religious person so I am not bashing the man for praying however I find it very inappropriate that you are at work and I am trying to check in and I’m getting completely ignored. Imagine if I just walked into places where not everyone has the same beliefs as me just reading my bible aloud. Awkward. Then I was told I couldn’t have a guest or visitors. What the hell is that? If I’m paying for the room then I should be allowed whatever visitor I want as that’s the case every other hotel. Upon check out I noticed my card got charged twice and when I called the guy was so rude and was telling talking about because I payed debit I won’t get it back until 2 – 3 days. That’s fine, but I would think they would let people know instead of charging double and upon questioning it acting super rude simply because I didn’t know. I would rather sleep on the streets of LA then ever stay here again. Thanks Rafiki or whatever your name is for the worst service and experience imaginable

Ignore the responses from the hotel in the previous reviews, if you stay here you will have the exact same terrible experience as everyone else. ‘Parking available’ on the site actually means «$ 20 a night, for double parking, cash only» Ice machine is quarter operated, nothing here is free. They don’t even provide cups in the room!!!
Found black hairs on the hand towel at sink as if someone dried their hair but cleaning crew never replaced it, saw long black hair on the clean towels stacked on the cart when I walked by it (decided to just re-​use my own). Bed cover was filthy, and found a piece of union IN the bed. Floor was filthy and looked like it had never been mopped since installation.
Toilet seat was chipped and worn, with only one roll of toiled paper. When I asked for another roll one night I was rudely told it was «too late tonight, we don’t have any».
Stay anywhere else, or sleep for free on the street in front like the homeless do.
I stayed the weekend after new years, if the staff wants to look me up you should remember me as the one who made a scene about being unexpectedly charged for parking, made you give me Ice for free, and was going to get really ugly if you didn’t find me the toilet paper I paid $ 150 a night for. Or is that every customer you have?

Was looking for a cheaper hotel near the hollywood strip and came across this one, the rooms are very small with very little space to maneuver around. Clean though, staffs english isnt the best, and lots of hidden fees like paying for ice (yes ice) and parking for your vehicle ($ 20 extra per night).
Its beyond loud in this hotel as the garbage trucks were picking up garbage right outside our room at 7am, and the traffic going by constantly is loud. The pillows on the beds are horrible so be prepared to go without. They have great window shades to black out the room when you are ready to go to bed.

The interior smelled heavily of chemicals, the bed had the cheapest/​least comfy pillows and sheets imaginable (also stained), and one of the two managers I interacted with was a complete jerk. They charged for ice, $ 20 for parking, and there was old frozen Mexican food in mini fridge.

This was maybe the worst place I’ve ever stayed. On their own I could deal with the issues we encountered. But together with the complete unwillingness and incompetence of the employee and manager it was abysmal.
* grasshoppers in the room
* fixtures in the bathroom falling off the wall
* a/​c was busted and just loudly spit out damp warm/​cool air making the room feel wet
* neighbors blaring music until 4:30am through paper thin walls. I tried to ask the night clerk to take care of it after holding out too 3am and was told there was nothing he could do
We were booked for 2 nights, but after the experience of the first night there was no way we were staying another.
I tried to talk to the manager about the issues in the morning and getting a refund for checking out early only to be met with complete unwillingness to do anything and refusal to accept that any of my complaints were valid. Apparently refunds are only issued for «impossible circumstance that can’t be predicted» whatever that means.
This place is a dump with a fresh coat of paint and insufferable staff

My fiancé and I chose this hotel to stay at for a couple nights while in town for a concert. It was inexpensive compared to hotels in the surrounding area. While we knew we weren’t staying in a luxury hotel, we still expected decent standards for paying $ 250+ for two nights.
First, parking is not included in your reservation. It is $ 20 per car per night cash only.
Second, the owners oversold the parking spots so my fiancé and I spent a good 15 minutes trying to wiggle my already very small Ford Fiesta out of the tiny lot without damaging anyone’s vehicle.
Third, our AC was turned off when we got into the room and when we turned it on, the fan must have been broken because the sound coming out was enough for us to leave it off to be able to hear each other talk. Later that night, we had trouble sleeping bc it was too hot in the room without the AC and unbearable with it on. Though we should have requested a new room that day, we thought we could get through it but the next morning I did ask for a new room. The owner then responded «what room you in… oh 105, the maintenance guy told me he fixed that» …so he sold us a room where he knew there was an issue and didn’t double check to make sure it was resolved himself. He did allow us to change rooms but said it wouldn’t be ready for a few hours so my fiancé and I packed our belongings and put them in my car since we wanted to do some sight seeming for the day.
Fourth, the sheets in the original bed were stained with a yellow substance.
Fifth, the second morning we were woken up bright and early by a crew doing construction work on the hotel at 8am.
Sixth, the free breakfast is lousy — cereal, cheap pastries and bananas covered in fruit flies.
Seventh, you have to pay to use the ice machine 25 cents to fill half of the bucket. Not a huge deal but I have never had to pay for ice in a hotel before.
Please don’t waste your money on this dump. The area is a little sketchy but walking distance to Hollywood Blvd. We honestly felt good investing in a small locally owned hotel seeing that they’re disappearing with larger companies like Marriott and Hilton and apps like Airbnb but our experience would have been a lot better spending the extra cash for a name brand hotel.

This is the absolutely the most horrifying place I’ve ever stayed. I pulled back the sheets to find blood stains and other fluids on the bed. I literally went out to buy lysol and spray the room because the «manager» said he won’t give refunds. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE.

Apparently this place just had renovations done, so the room wasn’t too bad for the price. Bed is comfy. The ac unit is super loud and the cleaners shut it off every day so the room was hot after getting back each day. Wifi is a joke, Internet was very slow, almost unusable. The area of town is a bit sketchy at night and smells like piss.

This place just flat out sucks… The door didn’t lock correctly, There was no privacy cause the door to the room has no threshold so bugs can just come to on in. Also the sheets were nasty. Didn’t look like they had been changed in weeks. I willbe reporting these people to the Better Business Bureau. Don’t consider this place. Even if there is no other hotels to stay. I would not consider this an option… I’d rather stay in my car.

Very close to Hollywood Blvd. However we paid 200+ a night. And DO NOT stay in room 102 if you decide to stay here. It was the only room available in the area we thought we lucked out until we got in the room and closed the door. Someone obviously disregarded the no pet policy bc the entire room smelled of cat urine.

Just gross. Don’t even care about customer service but when I feel like I am in men in black cause of cockroaches I think I should let somebody know… But seriously 142 dollars for a shitty hotel room. At least the concert was good

Ok, first off. if I could give these guys a negative star rating, I would!
I understand that this place isn’t the Ritz or even a Holiday Inn, but the guys that run this place are absolutely ridiculous! I made my reservation off of
and there was a mistaken on the number of beds I needed. The staff at the hotel would not accommodate me but said they would move us to a different room the next day. Come the next day, they told me they would not move us, they were full and could not accommodate what we asked and dismissed me like I was a nobody. When my husband tried to talk to the guy (which by the way he would not talk to either of us in their lobby but only through a thick window with only a slide at the bottom). The staff did not speak English well, and did not care to help anyone unless you were giving them $$$. I called Expedia to complain & they tried to call the front office to have them at least give us a rollout cot for the night and the guy wouldn’t talk to them, kept giving them an excuse & telling them to call back. The parking lot only has 12 slots for guests, but the staff takes up 1 of the slots for themselves day & night. If they have overflow, they send you to a lot down the street that is overlooked by some people that are probably related to the ones that run this place but only for the day, at night your car is left in an open lot! Which by the way you cannot see from the hotel. When I advised the staff that I was going to report them to the BBB and asked if he even knew what that was, he told me he didn’t care and I was just talking. Then I informed him I was also going to complain about them to Expedia and give them a bad review on Unilocal… his reply…“go ahead, I don’t care!” That’s apparent by the pure disregard they have for a human being. These guys are a joke! They don’t give a rat’s ass about you or anyone else.
I wouldn’t even consider staying here ever again even if there was nothing else available, I’d rather sleep in my car!
Check out my tips and pictures I posted on this joke of a hotel… BE WARNED!!!

$ 95 a night for 2 people (Friday and Saturday). $ 10 more for an extra person.
HOTEL: Small, but conveniently located by all the fun/​touristy things. Hollywood blvd, sunset blvd, universal studios is a short walk or cheap cab ride away. Tiny parking lot! No more than 10 – 12 spaces. They do have an off-​site parking lot apparently, but you have to ask where it is. Subway is right across the street and 711 is the neighbor. No free wi-​fi =[
CHECKING IN: The front desk man could have been nicer. He emphasized the «no guests or visitors» rule. Also, if he smelled smoke in the room, I would get charged an extra $ 100. I don’t recommend trying to sneak people in either because the way the place is set up, front desk can see EVERYTHING and sees who walks in and out.
ROOM: It was kind of dark to me. one small light by the door and one on the ceiling in the middle of the room. Our TV remote wasn’t working and the batteries were held by scotch tape. The view from our window was Cahuenga blvd so you hear all the noise on the street. The bathroom fan was SO loud! To me, it sounded like a washing machine dryer. You have to go to the front desk for the iron and board. Ice is not free so bring quarters! Overall, the place was clean and the beds were comfortable!
There is a small patio area with tables and chairs where you can eat/​chill/​smoke outside on the 2^nd floor.
I don’t know about any of the other rooms, but there were only 2 plug outlets — one in the room and one in the bathroom. The one in the room was used for the TV (which of course, you can unplug) which left one free one. Four people wanting to charge their phones, watch tv, iron their clothes, or straighten hair in a SMALL area between the TV and table was difficult. There were also 2 in the bathroom, but that was a hassle when someone was taking a shower/​getting ready.
CHECKING OUT: Easy — give them your room keys and go!
If you’re looking for luxury and a spacious room — don’t go here! If you need a place to sleep and shower after/​before a night of partying or sightseeing, GO HERE!
