Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel Review

Beautiful hotel in person but they took the "Marilyn Monroe Mirror" out of the lobby and put it away and out of sight for guests to see/visit. I specifically came here to see the mirror and was very disappointed when the receptionist told me that it wasn't on display anymore.

Only came into the historical lobby lounge where a friendly cocktail waitress offered drinks from the bar. The selection of drinks and their prices were moderate. The classic decor and furniture made you feel like you went back in time.

The internet service here is absolutely atrocious. I was staying with many friends, and everyone had the same experience - beyond bad internet. Beds are comfortable, but the shower heads are also bad. Water barely comes out. Tub also drains really slow. Kept hearing random banging and metallic noises coming from the bathroom vent too... Yikes.

We absolutely love it, my family as well as our friends. We will only stay there when we visit Hollywood CA. Home away from home. I would have given them 10 Stars.

Just checked in to this really nice hotel. Clean, room is spacious, bed comfortable, love the pillows! Good shower head! Keurig machine a plus! Things to keep in mind, internet $9.95 per day unless you are a loyal member and parking is $49 per night with in and out privileges. Overall no complaints.

Great place to stay in hollywood. Amazing pool great staff and beautiful lobby. Would say here again

I have not been to the htel personally but my friends have and they say that late night you can see ghosts walking around.and also in room 213 when you go to bed there is s headless man standing over you watching you so might need to call some people about that

The Roosevelt Hotel is a nice place to stay. Lots of Hollywood history and right in the heart of Hollywood. Room was a little on the small side (wasn t there to hang out in the room) and had 1 hiccup with the front desk special request. Took 5 times of asking before we got the pillows switched out because my wife is allergic to down. Saying this Henry the manager did make it right and gave us breakfast at 25* the next morning. Coffee would be nice in the rooms but is available in the lobby in t he morning. I would recommend Roosevelt to others based on our stay.

This was a very nice hotel. The bed is comfy and the pillows are comfy. But then we figured out that people can just walk into your room because they have an all access key. And management does not handle it and hang up on you because they are too stressed.

The hotel is nice it has updated its rooms in the main tower and the cabana rooms by the pool have a feel for its historic heritage BUT after staying for 4 days we were never advised when we checked in that they would be charging us $45 ($36 +tax) a day for checking our rental car in everyday we stayed with them. Nice customer service. I rarely write reviews but these are fees you don't surprise your guests with. It's not the money it's the principal! Bad customer service my friend is a rep there and will def let him know how they treat their guests.

A great hotel with Hollywood flair. Great location. Very friendly staff. Extras are a little too expensive. But you get used to it. The pool is the heart of the hotel and a real highlight. The rooms are chic and cozy. However, a bit older.

We just went there for cocktails. It's very quiet and nice. Very old though

Beautiful and lots of ambiance. The staff is wonderful

Historic hotel with great food, bars/drinks, pool and bowling alley.

Prime location, great views.

The downsides would be the slow elevators, small rooms and the bright light that shines into the rooms facing west.

Overall nice hotel, would I stay here again? Not sure.

The pillows and the bed are great, the people in the front desk amazing special thanks to the manager Mr Sebastian .

I attended a bowling event at The Spare Room inside the Roosevelt. Awesome atmosphere!

I ve stayed in most hotels in WEHO and what makes Roosevelt so speacial is it s staff. I ve stayed here about 6 times and every time the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure I ve been happy. So refreshing to see a hotel with such nice charm to be complemented by its amazing staff.

Always a fun spot, but that's no secret! Dont be afraid to jump in the pool, even if it's closed. Security can't kick us all out! (they can)

Fantastic first impression!!!
Upgrade to a studio with fruit plate waiting. Look forward to my stay here.

Awesome staff. Comfy beds and clean environment. All you want in a hotel!

Nice place in Hollywood. Lots of meetings and group events take place here.

Easy check in process. You do have to pay for WiFi. Great location. Very clean room. Got an upgrade to a suite!!!! Perfect. Creepy gym and location. Wasn't a fan of walking outside in the dark at 5am.... Great roomservice! Recommend for business (like me) or pleasure.

Great area right on the strip, the hotel itself is decent but kinda confusing and possibly haunted.

Great time at the Roosevelt last night! Was there for a special event thrown by Netflix and AFI. I loved the garden bar and the skybridge bar that over looks the pool.

Came here back in 2009 and now 10 years later it's still the same. The ballroom was set up nicely.
The way we were allowed to get into the event was through a guest list. I believe the staff was not ready for this because after an hour and 20 minutes we were all just allowed to get in without any form of checking.
I'm not sure if it's the venue or the guests who held the event. People were allowed to smoke indoors which was not so pleasant for us non smokers. The bar was disorganized and had such a small but efficient staff to handle us all and was extremely overpriced for such small drinks.
The dj was Ok.
We still had some fun.

Every time I'm in LA I always stay here. Excellent hotel and great staff. Thank you for your hospitality.

GREAT STAFF!!! Very nice place to stay at.
Great location.
Only issues they really should invest in small microwave. I never been in a resort where there is not a mini microwave in the room and I travel a WHOLE LOT..

Great Hollywood hotel. The staff was friendly and very informative. The room was pleasant. I stayed in a Cabana and it was great. A lot of good night life at this hotel so if you are looking for quiet and cozy it might not be for you but otherwise highly recommended

Great food, awesome staff and amazing customer service. Amazing immenities, spacious rooms, very clean and modern yet sophisticated.

Rooms were very Nostalgic in a good way. I can see why Marilyn Monroe loved it. Poolside drinks, cabanas and a dark bar on the inside with very eccentric drinks and food. Its been renovated but they keep the old hollywood glamour. A plus!!!

Went in for the "Library" bar and thoroughly enjoyed the service and selection of drinks. A little on the pricey side but about right for hollywood.

Marilyn Monroe lived here for a minute back in the day and people have said to seen her ghost about the premises, we didnt get to see her :( The bar is great spot to hang out and has a dance floor as well. Service is great!

This hotel is diffently the place to stay when in Hollywood

Everytime I attend an event here I am amazed at the attention to detail and how the whole staff is very helpful.

I'm going to give this hotel a 2 the room was drafty, small , you can really tell it was a older hotel they 50 a day parking was crazy especially if your paying for a room.. no aminities the valet guys was amazing it was I like new hotels

This hotel is a classic! Rooms are kept clean and enjoyed the celebrity photos to keep you entertained during the trips on the elevator, which is slow, by the way. The rooms are small, but it was built back in the day, right?

Very convenient to everything! Only half a mile away from food, shopping and entertainment!

Yes the prices are a bit high, and the parking charges of 40 each day kinda sucks, but if you want that Hollywood experience, you need to stay here at least once.

I just came in the check it out. It was a beautiful building. I wish the bathrooms weren't so modern looking. But that's just a little nitpick. Really cool place.

Went there for drinks, its a nice place and all but they have a service fee for getting drinks? And the vampire drink is amazing there

Just stayed for the second time at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and once again I was not disappointed. Everyone working there was polite, professional and quick to assist. It is rare to get this type of customer service from the start of the experience with the valet to checking out. If you are looking for a great hotel that is close to many LA attractions this is the place to stay.

Secret bars and nice rooms + located on sunset strip. Lots of fun and excitement 100%

Fun day for the family. take phone with enough space to save pictures

Great place. It hosts the academy awards so drinks are pricey but hey you could come here and have fun sober too

The pool bar is a funky oasis of escape in Tourist Central. Great place to seek refuge.

Overall this was a lovely hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and polite. The building itself is gorgeous. The pool, a dream. My issues were 1. Heaven help you if you want to get any sleep past 7am in room 234 in the cabana rooms. The door to the bridge which connects you to the rest of the hotel is obscenely loud. 2. Housekeeping is inconsistent at best. They leave you one (for 4 days) bar of soap and then remove the body wash after you've only had it for one day. No shampoo, no conditioner. So that's it for toiletries, one bar of soap, 2 body lotions and a body wash that appears on the second day and disappears on the third. The spare toilet paper was never replaced. The room was clean but I wiped off a lot of black stuff on the shower walls with a washcloth. Awesome. 3. Everytime I had to call for room service or the front desk (missing hair dryer, morning coffee, etc) I had to call twice.

And last but not least, the final day before we checked out the hotel rented out the pool for a film shoot. Ok, cool, whatever. When I called the front desk to inquire how long the crew would be there because they made an awful lot of noise, I was informed "they paid a lot of money to film here". Ok....I paid a lot of money to stay in a hotel, not a film studio. I personally feel that the best solution would be to better sound proof the rooms but what do I know.

So, in a nutshell, the hotel is beautiful, historic, cool, a bit exasperating and the pool is an absolute mad house. Especially on weekends and most definitely not a place for kids. ( One presumably intoxicated woman wasn't shy about the fact that she wasnt wearing bottoms).
This hotel has some issues but it's got tons of charm.

An unforgettable night at a corporate holiday party and very nice club venue

A beautiful classic boutique hotel in the heart of Hollywood. What can not be great about that? Rooms are a little small with not much space for clothes, but it is a small price to pay.

Came to The Spare Room to bowl for a friend's birthday. Quick and friendly service.

A big part of Hollywood history what a great place Great restaurants

Had an amazing time at the Franco Pascali magic show and great food and service at 25 degrees restaurant. Beautiful lobby and Christmas decorations!

Awesome hotel... Great lobby to meet clients and awesome diner connected open 24 hours a day!

Good beds. Nice air circulation. Clean bathrooms. Parking could be better. Overall a good stay if you need an LA spot to crash at

Classic and clean. Hostesses are a bit snooty for no reason, but other than that, a wonderful revived old hotel.

Such an amazing hotel with so much history. The pool is the best. Just layed there all day and relaxed. Great food. The 24hr diner down stairs has the best food. Right in the center of LA.

Perfect location in Hollywood Bd. A classic and historical place.
