Lexen Hotel - Hollywood Walk of Fame-Universal Studios

The not good: Our room overlooked / faced Highland Avenue, the 24-hour traffic noise was unbearable. The following morning I went to CVS and bought the loudest fan I could find to drown out the noise and try to get some sleep the following night. The thermostat in the room did not work so my choices were (1) 60 degree AC or (2) unit OFF. Lastly the beds were extremely firm to the point of being uncomfortable. The good: Hotel is close walking distance to Hollywood Bowl, Metro Station, and Hollywood Blvd landmarks. Our room had two separate bedrooms and two separate bathrooms, so ideal for friends not trying to share beds / bathrooms. The daily parking fee is fair compared to other hotels in the area.

Walking distance to Hollywood Bowl. Charming hotel. Staff great especially the evening young man- wish I had his name!

Wonderful stay! We stayed on a Thursday night (no Hollywood bowl show) so parking was not as awful as people are describing. Parking lot IS small but there were plenty of spaces. Don’t let the reviews scare you off The room was nice and spacious. This will definitely be our go to stay when in Hollywood!

The staff was friendly, but unfortunately, that was about the only positive part of this stay. The hotel itself was extremely disappointing. The parking lot is ridiculously small and poorly designed. There is barely enough room to maneuver, and the parking situation essentially requires cars to be double-parked—one vehicle behind another. It felt more like trying to park in a cramped residential lot than at a hotel. The parking area is also completely open to the street with no apparent security, which was concerning. The hotel is located directly on a busy street, and getting in and out can be difficult because traffic moves quickly right in front of the property. The surrounding area was another major issue. The hotel is situated in a neighborhood that felt run-down, with a lot of noise, people yelling outside, and homeless individuals in the area. It was not an environment where I felt comfortable or relaxed, especially at night. Although the staff was polite, they were not particularly helpful when we needed assistance. Overall, this was a very poor hotel experience. The parking is terrible, the location is uncomfortable, the area is noisy, and there is little sense of security. I would not recommend staying here, and I definitely would not choose this hotel again.

Loved everything about this Hotel from parking , style and staff.
