Hampton Inn & Suites in Hollywood is a convenient location and easy to get to, just seconds off Santa Monica Blvd.
The hotel is clean and in great condition. The rooms are spacious. The valet staff is excellent (kudos to Emmanuel for extra-attentive service).
Front desk staff is friendly and effecient. One of the fastest checkins I've had in years!
The rooms have great lighting, a comfortable desk, a mini-refrigerator that is quiet, and both electrical and USB outlets at the nightstand.
The downside: cable TV is limited and the remote control must be used carefully lest you click to change channels but accidently press the main menu button. There are no channel numbers so you can't type in a channel, you must scroll.
The only complaint I have is the street noise level. I stayed on the South side of the hotel and it seems like there was a party going on outside with loud music and lots of people. There is an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting center right below the hotel and I thought the noise was coming from there, but I am not positive. It was noisy until just after 3am on a Wednesday night.
