Hollywood Premiere Motel — Hotel in Los Angeles

Absolute garbage. The first room (room 116) the ceiling in the bathroom was falling down and had mold, it looked like someone used the bathroom in the shower and spread it all around. The only security is the lock on the door which was only a key from the outside no security bar. The window was held closed by a 2x2 that looked like left over lumber from an old construction site. There was no screen on any window. The bed was stained. The lamp was broken. The smoke detector was hanging off the ceiling, doubt if it worked. There was even a five dollar deposit for the remote to the TV that doesn't work. There is a door that is not locked in the room that leads to another door that is in the room next door. We stayed for about 1/2 hour. Then we decided that it would be better to sleep in our car so we tried to get our money back but apparently there is a no refunds policy, even if you only stay for less than 30 minutes. He ended up offering us a new room which we demanded to look at before taking itbut not before checking the room we were in. Then he moved us to 118 which was the room right next to the first one and although it was not good, it was better. We took the room but was still scared to go to sleep. Finally got over the fear that I would catch something as the tiredness kicked in. I push the chairs together and slept fully clothes. Woke up with a stiff neck and finally laid down next to my husband who braved the bed. Woke up, checked out, which was fun. Rang the bell since lobby was still locked and the guy yelled as he got up to come to the tiny night window. Took the key and remote and then came out with a five dollar bill, walked over to the room to check it out then came back to give us our deposit. The building certainly is not up to health code standards and my next move is to report this place. It should be condemned. Fairly certain we saw a few method heads check in and a well off man with a hooker too. There was also a party going on in the room right above us. Not the managements fault but he certainly did not do anything about it. Only plus side? They don't require a debit card, hmmm I wonder why. I guess they have compassion for the people who cheat on their wives, at least it won't show up on the statement.hahaha do not stay here. This place is terrifying. Also at $79 a night (holiday weekend) I hope they don't charge this much normally. Our friends stayed at the Dixie hotel across the street. For about 20$ more, it is spoof much better. Unfortunately by the time we decided to get a hotel. They were already full. No I don't have any business or personal relationship with either hotel/motel. Just giving an alternative for those thinking about...

My boyfriend and I stayed here one night after checking out of the Sheraton Universal Hotel (very NICE!!). Our reservation there was up but we decided to stay another night in wonderful Los Angeles so we drove through town hoping to find some place to rest a few hours. Being Memorial Day weekend (I work at a hotel myself) I understood the $79.99 rate the clerk (unfriendly) gave me was the best I was probably gonna find.. BUT FOR THIS PLACE?! shaking my head||||When I checked-in the clerk awsnered from a little credit card sized peek hole before letting me enter the lobby.. guess she was making sure she could take me first =D||There is a $5.00 deposit for the remote, which they hand you at the front desk..||There were light bugs flying around in the hallway as we walked to our room..||The room only had one bath towel for two people..||The blanket had a ring sized burn hole in it (I decided to sleep in my jeans)..||The TV channels were all either in Spanish or Thai, good thing we knew the storyline of "Into The Blue" which was the only movie we recognized..||The sliding door in the room went out to a baloncy which overlooked an alley but it was kinda nice and we stood out there for a while..||We left the sliding door open because the AC did nothing to cool the room but then there were sirens and people yelling until 5am.. Then we ended up oversleeping until five minutes before check-out time..||Niether of us showered. We got up, dressed and go the heck outta there. Check-out took two seconds. Met the clerk in the parking lot, handed him the remote and key, he handed me $5.00 and we were gone!||||I hope this place isn't set at $79.99 all the time because that is a ridicules rate for a place like this.. Memorial weekend,...

If the outside appearance is not enough clue, the way you sign up for the hotel should. First you have to walk up to a window like at a check cashing place and the guy seeks out of a hole to see who is there. I mentioned that I was just inquiring about their rates for my relatives who are coming to town and he acted like he was pissed that I bothered him ti take the time to listen to my question. They apparently are a live-in couple who resents having to actually do something to earn their free rent. So rest assured that they do not take care of the maintenance and maid service, like they should, as all of the other reviewers have attested to. ||This hotel has been background scenery for many TV shows and movies, because it genuinely looks like a typical 1950's -60's hotel and serves that purpose. I have driven by the hotel for several years and the parking lot is always empty, besides one or two cars. I always wondered how they made any money. I have never seen the place rented out by a movie production company either and the people there know nothing if you ask them. ||Another reviewer asked why the Korean owners always lock the pool areas. I'm sure its because of insurance reasons. This little 50's style hotel could probably make a lot of money if they fixed it up right and hired motivated employees to raise its image. It might actually be cool to stay in a vintage hotel if it was clean, well-maintained and...
