Top Griffith Observatory Hotel Reviews

Cara

10/10 Excellent

"A true escape in the middle of Hollywood. Cara Hotel was a genuinely pleasant surprise, and I would absolutely stay here again. From the moment we walked in, it felt like a complete getaway, the kind of place where the city noise just melts away. The whole hotel is built around a peaceful central courtyard with a calm reflecting pool, shaded by olive trees. It has a warm, earthy, minimalist style, with soft neutral tones, natural textures, and lots of greenery. It feels more like staying at a stylish friend's California home than a typical hotel. Our room was just as calming, with light wood floors, crisp, soft linens, and a beautiful stone bathroom. It was simple and uncluttered but still felt luxurious in all the little details. The metro station is just steps away, and it's only two stops to Hollywood/Highland, which made getting to our show at the Hollywood Bowl incredibly easy. Being able to skip the traffic and parking made the whole night so much more relaxing, and coming back to the quiet courtyard afterward was the perfect way to end the evening. If you want a stay in Hollywood that feels tucked away and restorative but still close to everything, Cara is it. Highly recommend!"

The Dixie Hollywood

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this stay at The Dixie, Everything was right there for me to get to. Beautiful stay."

La Mirage Inn - Hollywood

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and helpful staffing"

The Onyx Hotel Hollywood

8/10 Good

"Very good location. The staff very friendly. Rooms were clean, beds very comfortable. The ac was noisy."

Kasa Sunset Los Angeles

8/10 Good

"Pretty decent place for the price and the self checkin style, nice to have appliances ect + a very big studio style room Didn't love the windows in the hotel room- as they have a tint on them and I appreciate a clear view, but that's a minor flaw Free Laundry room in basement is awesome Gym has what you need Having to Pay for an hour or two for earlyy check in is super annoying (around $50-$70 depending on 1-3 hours)+ not knowing if you'll have luggage/locker storage availability can be a bit weird if you plan to arrive early in the day ( one of the lockers were broken but luckily the two that were available fit my stuff. Great apartment style hotel overall, would probably stay again if the price doesn't get higher. Semi convenient location- sort of off the path"
