"This hotel was very nice overall. We ate dinner at the bar one night, and the bartenders were great and the food was delicious.
I also ordered room service twice, and both times the food was wonderful, arrived quickly, and was delivered by very courteous staff.
The location is excellent—right in the middle of everything, with easy walking access to Hollywood Boulevard.
A few issues:
The bathroom had no exhaust fan, so it became extremely hot and steamy while getting ready. We had to prop the door open with the trash can or a bottle of Fiji water.
Parking was my biggest complaint. $71 for valet is very expensive, and $25 parking at Ovation Hollywood really added up. Hotel guests should receive a discounted rate and have a designated area they can access with their hotel key.
On 8/21/26, it took us 45 minutes to get into the garage because of Hollywood Bowl traffic, causing us to rush through getting ready for our next plans.
The "city view" room was mostly a view of the hotel roof, pool and shopping area, with very little city view.
A microwave would also have been nice, although we did have a mini fridge.
Other than that, the hotel was beautiful. The lobby and pool were lovely, the front desk staff were great, and the valet team was excellent.
One valet even gave us helpful tips about using Waymo.
I did receive the VIP Access Perk credit but forgot to use it."
