First the good, the location is hard to beat if you are looking for something walkable to the Hollywood blvd to search for your favorite star(s) on the floor, or an easy drive to Hollywood Studio and the Griffith Observatory. Hotel price was reasonable for the area as well. It also has a pleasant Hollywood stars vibes going for it inside. Next the confusing, the Hotel has apparently changed its name several times, it was called the Franklin Hollywood when we visited in April 2025, which is more an issue if you are driving there for the first time. And speaking of which, the parking fee there are falsely advertised online. It was not $10 per night (that is apparently the parking fee for the bar patrons), it was $34/night for parking. (and it is valet parking only). Which leads to the not so great for some, but great for others. We came in family mode (with a 10 year old in tow), and the nights can get rather loud. We were hearing loud booming music sounds coming in after midnight. But if you are here to party, well, there appears to be a happening bar on the premises.

We went to Hollywood to see a play at the Pantages and this hotel was very conveniently located just a few blocks away from the theater and other famous sightseeing spots. The restaurant next to the hotel, the Clark Street Diner is an iconic Hollywood coffee shop not to be missed. It was really fun to look at all the photos of the film stars of a bygone era throughout the property. And last but not least, great service from the Valet parking team. A clear thumbs up!

We had such a difficult time finding the hotel as it was called something completely different! We hadn’t been given any notification in advance, and when I finally walked in to the Franklin to ask “Where is The Adler?” the clerk said they were going through a name change. This building’s facilities are tired. The lobby looks nice, and clearly, they’re trying to do something with the decor, but all the small details give it away. The lift smells of burning rubber, not all the buttons light up and a lot of the call buttons on the different room levels are broken. As for our room, again, the decor is nice enough. The linens, however, were dirty. Our coffee machine didn’t work and even though we’d been given an extra hour (the only late check out option is 12pm instead of 11am), a cleaner burst into our room - without knocking! - at 11:40am! The noise level is insane - it is so loud. The road nearby is loud and you can hear everything that happens outside your door or windows so clearly. The windows may as well not be there, the traffic was that loud.

The atmosphere is wonderful. So many pics to look at. The Adlers name is not visible from the outside of the building. We drove around and around not realizing it’s the Hotel Franklin. Since I was driving during the day, didn’t see the email explaining the valet. Valet is not a personable guy! Was surprised that parking was $35 cuz parking was listed under amenities. Feel it should show parking $. Beautiful shower, big room.

It was a bit difficult to find the hotel as we booked it under the Adler Hollywood Hotel. The signage in front only says Hollywood hotel. The Valet was kind enough to wait off the street for us. I’m not sure of his name but he was an older gentleman and he was the best. Check in was smooth and staff were all friendly. The lobby is super cute! We were pleased with the decide, there is a dinner attached which is super convenient. Our room was on the second floor and easy to find. Room decor again was absolutely adorable and the room smelled clean, the only complaint we had was the mini fridge wasn’t working and the shower had little nats coming out of the drain. Overall it was a good stay and location was prime.

Before I arrived, a message was already sent because it’s my birthday. I didn’t receive any reply, and at check-in I wasn’t given any VIP treatment or extras. They also didn’t respond regarding room availability or anything else. So unfortunately, no upgrade and no late check-out — just the standard 12 PM. I have to say, I’m a bit disappointed.
