Economy Inn Hollywood

Picked this hotel for its close location to Hollywood and Universal Studios. Also 3 minutes walk to Target and Walgreens. Flight in didn't arrive until 10.30pm so was expecting a very late check-in. Contacted management prior and it wasn't a problem for them. They were helpful and polite throughout. Room size was good and having a fridge was handy. Shower pressure was great. Only minor issues were that the beds were quite soft, but this is personal preference, and there was no mirror in the bathroom. Parking does seem limited but I fortunately never had an issue finding a space during my 3 night stay.

Love that they don't charge a deposit and provide free parking

Nice clean rooms, beds a bit on the harder side, close/walkable location to subway as parking is very limited. Target is a couple blocks away. Will stay again.

Clean room served it's purpose. Limited parking in lot.

Staff very friendly and helpful, WiFi connection could be better but ok for my needs. Room large very clean. Car park small Shops nearby walking distance

The room was nice and clean. The parking was awful. Not enough room to back out and turn around.

Easy stay , everything was smooth . You get what you paid for . Parking can be a bit better gets full fast .

The only thing about this hotel is the parking lot. Very, very small!! Not a lot of room for parking. But otherwise, a nice hotel to stay in for a few days.

Hotel is nice, I wouldn’t mind staying again. The hotel from the street view looks like a roach motel but you can tell they renovated it, after you get drive inside it looks better. The room itself was nice and clean, some stuff looked like it needed some attention. The Parking is free but only limited spots so get their soon, other then that it’s good for a night or two.

I will give 4.5 /5 rating. The room is large and comfy; however the entryway and exit of the hotel is very narrow in and out, parking is limited first come first serve (not good) if you have big vehicle will be a problem. Other things than parking is great!

It was dirty it smelled bad and it had roaches

The room was clearly not cleaned due to the fact that we found a tooth brush and some eyelashes on the sink and hair in the shower!

I would like to start off saying this motel is in a good location to travel to Universal studios and the Hollywood walk of stars. The rate of the room was affordable The room we stayed in was not well kept far as the walls were dirty,writing with makers, shower has mold in the creases. The smoke detector was covered up with plastic to receive better results or Stars could use a little bit more upgrade on the inside needs attention bad no light in the closet also no hangers trash was also in the closet that's the reason Maybe a light should be put in there. Also I didn't see anything about putting cash down as a deposit after already reserving the room that should be explained also instead of reservations not all the time we carry cash due to technology with cards

We had to evacuate from the fires in Pasadena and rented a hotel in Hollywood, another fire started and I asked if we needed to evacuate but the host said no, we woke up to ash on top of the car. When we got into the hotel the room and bed were fine but the bathroom was infested by little roaches. Hope they clean it next time!

Horrific. Large stains and pubic hairs one the bed. Black mold in the shower all over. Very unsafe neighborhood. Beds are a concrete slab. Large gaps in the front door. Just dirty and awful.

We walked into the room and there were bugs all over the floors and beds and immediately left. The staff did give me a refund with no difficulty

The stay was above average and quite surprising. Honestly, I was expecting a lot worse as this is a budget hotel/motel in Hollywood. As was expected it's not perfect. It's fairly cramped, the furniture is a little beat up/dinged up but whatever. The digs were bare bones but it was cleaner than expected. Don't expect luxury linens, towels, etc but for the price (Hollywood prices) i'd recommend it. I saw no roaches/bugs as has been mentioned in other reviews I have, however, encountered them in much nicer and more expensive hotels so bugs happen sometimes. Not this trip however. The couple that runs it is very nice, we didn't require much but they seem like they would be accommodating if you needed something. Parking isn't great, it's an old area and that's how things were built in the past. What can they do? It's free, at least, and they don't charge like some other properties in the area. Overall I was very pleased with conditions for the price and would recommend it for those that can handle adventure or those on a budget.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Didn’t Know The Area We Were Staying In. Areas Not The Best But We Were Fine With It For Just The 2 Nights. Got To The Room After Check In & It Could Definitely Be Cleaner! The Curtains Had Huge Dark Stains All Over, The Bathroom Was Dusty On The Vents & Shower Looked Gross! Had Mold Spots All Around The Top. Floors Felt Like there was Dirt / Crumbs All Over & The Closet Was Kind Of Dusty As Well. Definitely A Lesson Learned!

Cockroaches and bed bugs….

I think this hotel is a great stay for the price. The beds are great, room was clean and he let us check in 2 hours early. Noicrowave or coffee maker are my only complaints

Staff was unhelpful and disinterested. Room was very small with absolutely no amenities or microwave. Hotel felt dingy, dated and area felt unsafe.

Surprisingly nice inside the room, mattress was stained so I slept in a sleeping bag on top, check in and check out were quick, liquor store next door, really small parking lot, unsafe area but that’s to be expected

The Economy Inn hotel is fine. For the price you pay, it delivers on the basics and essentials: clean enough room, comfy enough bed, and a shower with warm enough water. Don't go in looking for the Ritz (or even an Embassy Suites-like experience), because this is a bare bones place that is quiet and safe in a neighborhood that's loud and rough. It is, however, very close to consistent public transportation that will get you to and from all the nearby sights and tourist hot spots. But if you're looking to visit the beach or Dinseyland, I'd advise bringing your own vehicle: ride-sharing anywhere more than 2 or 3 miles is expensive. Overall, you could do worse (or better) than the Economy Inn, but you probably wouldn't be able to do it at the bargain price.

Beds were surprisingly comfortable. Offered almost all you could ask for in a motel. Crown molding and a nice paint job interior. Good air handler system with constant fan option. Only missing another towel rack or two in bathroom and also no iron/ironing board in room. I'm sure they would provide one if you asked though

Nice clean rooms, beds a bit on the harder side, close/walkable location to subway as parking is very limited. Target is a couple blocks away. Will stay again.

The location was quite good, near many bus lines, the subway, and many establishments and shopping. Although the bill was quite expensive for budget travelers, it was ultimately okay given the average prices in the city. The managers of the place were a really nice couple who tried their best to accommodate our needs. The room, albeit quite bland and simple, had many amenities that people expect for this price range, such as AC, TV, and fridge. On the negative side, I cannot leave out the fact that there were some cockroaches in the room. I later understood that LA has this problem, but that's no reason why an establishment should have them inside their rooms. The other issue that we had was the cold: we visited in November, so it was quite cold in the evening, and not only the room wasn't well insulated, there wasn't enough bedding either. It's true that we could've asked for more, and that we decided against leaving the heating on because of the noise, but nevertheless, it was quite upsetting to be cold or have to wear extra clothes in bed.

Room extremely limted to not even basics. No phone and entire room only had one plug in it by tv and one in bathroom. None by bed. Very bare room. But for the price, it was a clean room to sleep in with a shower, tv, and mimi fridge in it. But thats it. Bring your basics with you and extension cord w/plugs for your cell phone,etc charging needs.

The location is close to stores, restuarants, and metro bus stops. The room is big and restroom is decent. It would be nice if the room has a microwave and/or coffee maker.

Cute, old style motel in Hollywood!! I loved having my car outside my door. Bed was the most comfortable of my trip!! New TV. Bathtub which was main reason I picked this place. I'll definitely stay again.

Hotel staff verty helpful, room clean - only drawback is the general decline of Los Angeles which is becoming unsafe for tourists.

reasonable price for location. We have stayed there several times. Helpful staff

Staff is typical foreigner owners from India. Very difficult to understand. They lost my ID and blamed me for it, but eventually discovered there was a miscommunication between the husband and wife. I got my ID back but very rude process.

Excellent, staff great

Staff was unhelpful and disinterested. Room was very small with absolutely no amenities or microwave. Hotel felt dingy, dated and area felt unsafe.

Easy check in and out. Friendly staff. Convenient to all attractions

Was not the best experience location was about the best thing killed about five baby roaches. Sheets look like something from American horror story dirty with stains in my hair. Room smelled of spices asked for another room was told by the owner to go back in my room and have my phone conversation. This was about 10 o’clock in the morning.

My daughter and I stayed for just over a week. The room was clean, ZERO bugs of any type, spacious, the linens were also clean. Although it is classed as a budget hotel, the A/C was awesome, a tv with so many channels, free wifi and a shower with amazing water pressure and no issues with hot water easily elevated it. The area is fine for a base camp from which to explore LA. There’s a Target one block away, Walgreens, - great for picking up snacks, liquids you couldn’t bring on your plane, toiletries etc is also a block. Food options include two taco trucks within a block, - try Leo’s opposite Target, 3 chicken & pineapple tacos for $7:50! Thai restaurants, fried chicken etc. IF you are using the transit system, there are excellent links to Hollywood, Santa Monica, Melrose, Fairfax, Echo Park and Silverlake. Mani and her family were so kind to us. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We checked out late and we were able to stash luggage, do our last minute shopping, return and use a room to change, repack and prepare for the trip home. The hotel was safe, zero issues with homeless or theft, - rooms and cars included. Yes, the walls are a little thin, but we heard more low flying helicopters than noisy guests. I highly recommend you check them out, LA hotel rooms are not cheap, but some are better value for your money than others, the Economy Inn is, imo, great value.

Staff very friendly and helpful, WiFi connection could be better but ok for my needs. Room large very clean. Car park small Shops nearby walking distance

It's a reasonable price for a place central to Hollywood. The staff are helpful. We have stayed there several times over the past three years.

Easy check in and out. Friendly staff. Convenient to all attractions

Staff was very friendly. The neighborhood is very sketchy, and the motel is very basic at most. Pay more and stay in a better area.

Conveniently located close to all. Parking available. If you’re going to be out and about, and want to save money, this is your spot.

The property was pretty average for what you'd expect under this price. The area nearby was too noisy and dirty. Probably what you'd also expect from East Hollywood. Nice staff, though.

The location to main hub of Hollywood. Good price, nearby fast food, near highway. Updated room, clean with air conditioning.

Very close to Hollywood sign, Paramount studio

A good hotel at a central location with Chinese Theatre 45 min walk away and a Target one block away. Quite a few eating places also available. Overall a good choice.

Very quiet, convenient hotel off of Sunset Boulevard
