The staff was friendly and very nice and the room was very clean. The room was, of course, older decor, but that's what you expect for an older hotel in Hollywood - LOCATION! You're in HOLLYWOOD!

Having just got off the plane in LA, we were quite jetlagged and tired, but this place was relatively easy to find and there was ample underground parking for our hire car. The front desk was courteous and we were very quickly checked in, and went to our mini apartment on the first floor. Although it wasn't a beautiful building, the decoration was fine and it was clean and felt safe. There was a small pool, although it was overshadowed by the many buildings around it and when we went in winter it looked pretty cold! The location was amazing - round the corner from the center of Hollywood, with easy access to the underground trains and the main highways of Los Angeles. Only negative points about the location were that it was right next to the back entrance of a large mall - great for easy access but meant we were occasionally disturbed by distribution trucks. We booked a self-catering apartment that came with most basic kitchen items, although filters for the coffee maker would have been much appreciated!

I have just returned with my friend after my second stay at this great hotel .I will certainly be staying here again when I next visit. Fantastic spacious room, fully equipped kitchen, really comfortable beds.Most importantly it was really clean. The staff were really lovely. Very helpful and courteous. Even let us check out or our rooms a little late.

There is free internet access which is really useful. The hotel is situated right in the heart of Hollywood.The surrounding area is really safe enough to walk around at night. Right next to the Hollywood and Highland complex which has some great shops and fast food places (on 3rd floor) . Also right near the Metro and buses go from nearby to all attractions.

If you want something really different to do whilst in town try the Dearly Departed tour(www.dearlydepartedtours.com)which not only shows you famous muder sites but it is very informative and gives you alot of history on old Hollywood- well worth checking out!!!
It was a real pleasure staying in the Orchid Suites and I will definitely be returning.

Have just stayed here for two nights, it was excellent, it cost us about £45 a night and was well worth it, two mins walk from kodak theatre, walk of fame etc.
Very Clean, comfortable suites with kitchen and massive bathroom etc.
Free internet access to catch up on your emails etc,
Staff friendly and helpful.
Decor a bit dated but in terms of value for money and location i think you would struggle to do better than this in los angeles.

Would thoroughly recommend.
