The room was spacious and well decorated, the bed comfortable. The pool was small and had little sun, due to the location in the courtyard. The diner was great, delicious breakfast.

The Franklin Hollywood place was great. My family and I have stayed there before and loved it nice and clean rooms, the staff was awesome and friendly. If we needed anything they would accommodate. The pool was crystal as well and the best part is that it’s just minutes away from Universal Studios.

Great location and lots of fun history. Fantastic to have Clark's Diner in the hotel - we had a delicious breakfast. The beds were clean and very comfy! The room itself doesn't feel as clean as the beds - partly because the bench covers were stained and felt dirty. I didn't sit on them. We were facing the freeway, so with such thin windows, it was extremely noisy.

Hotel was definitely unique and beautiful. Staff was helpful and friendly. Parking is strictly valet. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a good size but the shower took a few minutes to warm up. The diner served good food and had great staff. Take the stairs, they’re are lined with a variety of autographed photos. The property is in a safe and quiet neighborhood.
