🇺🇸 Loews Hollywood Hotel – A Parent-Tested Review 🧳👨‍👩‍👧

Traveling with kids on your first U.S. road trip? Choosing a hotel can be overwhelming. After a 6-night stay at Loews Hollywood Hotel, I can honestly recommend it for families who want ultimate convenience and location. No sponsorships here—just real, tried-and-true experience! 🚗 Driving & Parking (Key Info!) Valet Parking is a game-changer: If you’re new to Hollywood, skip the stress and go for the hotel’s valet. While self-parking charges per exit/re-entry, valet lets you hand over the keys and head straight inside—no lugging bags and kids through parking garages. Prime location means less drive time: 🎬 Hollywood Walk of Fame & TCL Chinese Theatre – 3 min walk 🎢 Universal Studios – 5 min drive 🌌 Griffith Observatory – 15 min 🖼️ LACMA – 15 min 🔬 California Science Center – 17 min ✈️ From LAX – ~50 min (without needing hectic freeways!) 🏙️ Safety in Hollywood Yes, you’ll see some unhoused individuals in the area—it’s part of urban LA—but the hotel is in the tourist core, well-patrolled and busy. The property connects directly to the Ovation Hollywood mall via the M-level, so you can eat, shop, and move around without walking unsafe streets at night. ⚠️ Must-Know Tips & Warnings Water is expensive – The in-room bottles cost $11. Grab cheaper water from the 7-Eleven across the street. Beware of TV charges – The Family & Kids channel’s Disney movies are $24 for 24-hour access! A child can easily activate it with the remote… yes, we learned the hard way! Overall, Loews Hollywood delivers comfort, convenience, and peace of mind for families exploring LA. Just keep an eye on the extras—and enjoy being in the heart of the action! 🎥🌴 #LoewsHollywood #FamilyTravel #LALodging #HollywoodHotel #TravelWithKids #HotelTips #ValetParking #SafeStay #LAFamilyTrip #ConvenientTravel
