This hotel had a great location. Its a 5 min walk to Hollywood Blvd. Universal abd the warner brothers tour is about 7 min drive away. We got a king suite room, had a slight musty smell but it wasnt horrible. The room was large and the bed was super comfy. The only reason I didnt give a 5 star was becuase of the parking situation. Its $33 to park there thought it was a little to much. They had valet parking but they litlery handed you the keys and you walked to your car becuase the lot is so small. When we came in they parked it each night. But it only saved us like 20 steps. I would recommend this hotel.

Friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! Front desk, valet and the lounge staff were all so welcoming and friendly and fun! We picked this hotel for the location and it exceeded our expectations. Check in was easy, our room was adorable. Everything was convenient, the diner in the building was beyond excellent, the lounge was perfect and we were walking distance to our event. Really can’t wait to find a reason to come back here!

Our coffee machine was broken my boyfriend fixed it on our last day.not enough shampoo and conditioner for 4 people..2 small bottles didn't cut it .the air wasn't working right until 4 hours later when we were in bed.the shower didn't have another door or curtain the water kept running out of the floor and I almost slipped..it was too much hassle for $352 for 2 nights and I still had to walk to get to the metro to catch the shuttle to universal studios..I'll stay at the Blvd next time or find a better deal with contential breakfast..I thought it said contintenal breakfast because that is what I was looking for in our stay..that disappointed me a lot..but it was clean and vintage..smell was old..it was an experience

I was skeptical before I arrived. But, there was a lot of character and history at this hotel. The attached diner was very good. The small bar in the hotel felt like a speakeasy. We really enjoyed our stay.

Gisela at the front desk is amazing!!! Fred, the valet, was so nice! We were there in May and absolutely loved it. So of course, we had to come back. We had another Hollywood Sign View Room, this one even better than the last room (which also had view of Hollywood Sign). The bathroom was enormous. For fans of Old Hollywood, this is the place to be. Only issue we had was connecting to WiFi, think it was due to location of room. Hotel is 3 exits from Universal Studios and one from Warner Brothers Studios. Check it out, you won’t be sorry!!

We loved our stay at the Hollywood Franklin hotel. It was the perfect little gateway, the room was very clean and staff were friendly. The location was perfect we were just a few blocks away from Hollywood blvd. The Franklin lounge had very cool and chill vibes and the bartender made delicious cocktails. We even had breakfast at the Clark Street diner the morning we checked out, it was very good! I would highly recommended staying at the Franklin it was the cutest and affordable little boutique hotel.

The room was nice for the most part. Beds were a little tough and sleeping in them was just so so. The bathroom did not have a vent fan, so the window had to stay open the whole time. This meant that all the street noise could be heard. There was build up all over the window frame that looked like mold, but not sure if it was or wasn't. It was very close to the Pantages theater and Amoeba music, which was nice. Not sure if we would stay there again considering how much it cost compared to the beds and bathroom window.
