The Hollywood Roosevelt

Very stylish hotel. It has a lot of history and it was really cool to see Marilyn Monroe's suite overlooking the pool, to spot some filming locations within the hotel and the Hockney swimming pool was very nice. We also went up to the Spare Room on the last evening to see the bowling alley and get some drinks and play some board games. When we arrived, we were told at reception that unfortunately our room was unavailable, but we were receiving a "massive upgrade" to a poolside room. We weren't too impressed with the male receptionist, who seemed a bit pompous and also scoffed a bit when we had to switch our payment card: "I will make an exception". The room was nice - I would say about an average sized room, but it had direct access to the poolside which was a welcome feature. We stayed in room 111, which turned out to have an adjoining door for the next room. Unfortunately there is very little soundproofing on this door. I could hear everything in the next room. Perhaps I was unlucky and just had particularly noisy neighbours, but I do know I was woken up in the middle of the night (3-4am) for 2 of the nights due to noise from them either talking loud on the phone, or from their TV. Either way, for a "massive upgrade" I would expect at least a decent amount of soundproofing to be on par with even basic hotels. In addition to the noise from the neighboring room, they play music at the poolside until around 10:45 at night. We tried to go to bed a bit earlier a couple of nights due to early starts the next day. Unfortunately at the poolside room, the bass of the music is very clear so that also contributed to the disruption. The adjoining 24 hour restaurant was nice and we had a good breakfast here. Poolside waiter service was also good and it was very relaxing to stay at the pool on our last day in the city. They also put up a poolside projector in the evenings to screen classic horror movies during the Halloween season, which was pretty cool. They have parking at the hotel but it is very expensive as it is valet only, at 70 USD per night. I also saw that queues were forming for people collecting their cars from the valet in the morning, so not exactly convenient if you're in a hurry. If you don't need a valet, I can highly recommend the car park directly opposite the Valet parking entrance - its just 30 USD per day. Overall, we enjoyed the stay at Hollywood Roosevelt. It was relaxing, has an "exclusive" feel with really nice interiors, and service from the waiting staff was very good. But I slept very badly in the room, so they need to improve on that to live up to the supposed luxury experience they are branding themselves as.

This hotel was a great place to stay. Centrally located to touristy places including the hop on hop off bus. The Uber was easy to get to as it comes right in the valet area! The restaurants had very good food and the pool was great! We actually spent a day there and the service was awesome. All the staff were nice and very friendly. Our room was a little small but we survived! I would definitely stay here again. Loved it!

I was so looking forward to staying here, I love history and the hotels history really appealed! We weren’t disappointed and loved our stay here. The hotel is central, near to restaurants and metro! There was plenty of sights to see a few steps from the hotel. The staff were lovely especially the cleaning staff who were really friendly and chatty, a real credit to the hotel! No issues whatsoever with the hotel, the pool was fantastic, super private and the water was warm. 25 Degrees restaurant served beautiful food for a good price! The area around the hotel is dirty and feels extremely unsafe at times but I found this throughout LA and surrounding areas so is in no way reflective of the hotel and there’s nothing they can do about it so I wouldn’t mark it down! I would definitely stay again if in the area!

Stayed at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in early October to attend a Premier across the street at the Chinese Theater. The room was nice, the lobby and pool bars were both good, and the restaurants attached to the hotel or in the hotel were good. Location is fantastic right on the strip. Easy to walk to everything. We had a great time poolside too. Private and classy. One of the main reasons I wanted to write this review is the great service provided by the staff and especially "Stephanie" at the front desk. I left a phone charger in my room when I left and she went out of her way to retrieve/find it working with Housekeeping and then insuring it got sent to me in the mail. She was very helpful, had a great attitude and communicated with me through the whole ordeal. Thanks "Stephanie L" !!!!!!!!!! - I really appreciate it.

Cool, iconic, historical and comfortable. Love the location on Hollywood blvd. the reality is you don’t even need to leave the hotel. The Tropicana pool/bar has such a cool retro vibe! Great food with a twenty four hour old school cafe. Can’t wait to come back.
