Hollywood Inn Express South Motel

The room was big and well maintained. Everything worked fine. On the weekend, free parking is not an issue between enough space in the lot for a majority of cars and plenty of street parking. On a weeknight, you may need to be more diligent about securing a spot for yourself or at willing to move your car from the street by 7 am. The staff was efficient and professional. . I was given a printout on how to get to places. There was no noise problem despite the place being nearly full. I recommend it, especially if you're mostly in LA to do other things rather than hang out in the place. I didn't find the neighborhood dangerous as some reviewers claimed. I walked around in the morning and at night. It's close to the heart of Echo Park

This motel is very basic but decent if you won't be spending much time in the room. If you want to spend time in Hollywood and Beverly Hills I would suggest going closer. However, if you want good access to downtown this place is excellent. The friendly staff also gave us a reduced room rate so we could check out at 9pm to accommodate a late flight. This gave us a very comfortable last day being able to shower and relax before our flight.
