    Every since I had an amazing experience with a certain boutique hotel years ago this has become my norm & Prospect Hollywood defintely delivered. Aesthetics alone are worth a stay but when you add the seclusion, quietness, courtyard & water pressure this put this place in another league. My room service was the quickest I've seen. Two things were to my disliking which was they give you a huge key to access the hotel I found it cumbersome. Secondly on my last day there was a loud humming noise which quite possibly could've been plumbing or ac units but nontheless I love it

    This is such a cute hotel! I absolutely love everything about it. We were in the J. Garland room and it was perfect. The courtyard is like a little oasis. We sat here eating a delicious pastry and drinking green juice that was provided by the hotel. Every person that works here is super nice. The manager (I'm so sorry that I forgot your name!) is fantastic! I can't wait until we need to come to LA again just so that we can stay here again.

    If you're looking at hanging around Hollywood Blvd, The Prospect is in a great location, just one and a half blocks from HB and Musso and Frank Restaurant. The neighborhood was quiet and seemed quite safe to walk in. The room was 180 degrees different than most hotel rooms (that's a good thing!) The wallpaper was pretty cool and colorful, and the furniture was neat. The bed was fantastic with four great pillows and an extremely comfortable mattress. The courtyard was terrific with two big fire areas and a water feature. The best thing about The Prospect was the employees. They were very friendly and helpful carrying our heavy luggage upstairs to our room (I have to stop traveling with my rock collection!) The valet parking was $43 a night, which seemed mandatory as parking on the street appeared nonexistent. A $30 resort fee included a nice croissant in the morning with juice or coffee and wifi for your room. We were glad we stayed there, such a nice difference from a large chain hotel.

    I stayed at The Prospect Hollywood and it was an amazing place! A cozy boutique hotel with an incredible atmosphere. The interior design is impressive - every corner looks like a frame from a movie. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Separately, I would like to mention the garden and terrace - it's nice to relax there after walking around Hollywood. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help. The location is also excellent: there are many interesting places nearby, the Alley of Stars is literally within walking distance.

    I LOVE this hotel. There's only 27 rooms, it's very quiet and classy. You walk in the room and there's Billy Holiday playing on the music Chanel. The rooms are so aesthetically pleasing. Very nice staff. Cute little bar area in the room. Only complaint is that the pillows were not comfortable but no big deal.

    Premium bedroom with freestanding tub.

    This place is so cool! Hubby & I stayed for a one night getaway because we didn't want to do the drive back from LAX. Every room is themed Regency 1930s. We stayed in the Omar Sharif room with freestanding tub and bar. The continental breakfast served espresso and the best tasting breakfast croissants we've ever had! It's located within close proximity (within one city block) to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and other touristy sights. They also give customers the choice of being charged the $30 service fee, but include breakfast and after dinner cocktails if customers ok the charge. Great deal! Great location. Great service! We'll definitely be back!

    This hotel was the most beautiful room I have ever stayed in and is absolutely feminine from corner to corner! The staff was absolutely wonderful from the night to the morning, and the breakfast was pretty good Highly recommend this place for anyone in the Holywood area that wants a truly unique experience and values aesthetics, hospitable staff, and an energetic match for the person who understands value through beauty .

    There's a part of me that doesn't want to write this review... I wanna gatekeep the hell outta The Prospect! There is no way that this hidden gem will stay a secret forever. I'd wax heavy on the subtlety of the entrance, yet it would take away from the experience. Remember, in the 90s when you would call the pager to get the address of the map point? It gives those feels in the most nostalgic way. Phillip (the greatest GM I've ever encountered), greeted us in an energetic and exuberant fashion that mirrored the surrounding Hollywood vigor. He whisked the car away and in we went. Upon check-in, Mara got all of the business outta the way professionally and succinctly. We chatted about our reason for being in town and she guided us to our room. (Did I mention the lobby? Jewel tones, animal print, rich textiles... you gotta see this place!!!) The outdoor common area is lush and green; full of natural flora, private seated areas, and a couple of fire places. A perfect place to chill and have a cocktail. We had the pleasure of residing in the James Dean room... claw foot tub, four poster bed, velvet and brocade sitting area/living room. I will now forever compare all boutique hotel rooms to this one. I can talk all day about the environment at The Prospect.... but really, the property is about the people. Phillip is amazing at Ops... I've never stayed at a place where the boss helped with valet or bell service, as well as the rigorous minutiae of running shop. The grrl at the desk (I didn't catch her name, she had black hair) the morning we were slated to leave was fun and helpful. We inquired about staying an extra night. She got us situated and effortlessly booked. The evening we returned from our night in the town really took the cake! My daughter was tearful and upset when we were returning to the property. Jamara ushered is into the lobby quickly and discreetly, ensuring that we were ok. She immediately turned to my daughter with kind words and offered to BAKE HER COOKIES. Mara was walking by and also took the time to check in with my daughter to see if she was ok. About half an hour after being back in our room, Jamara brought the cookies and milk see promised; providing comfort and true empathy. I can't say enough about Jamara and Mara!!! The Prospect is an oasis in an often overwhelming city. I implore those looking for luxury without pretention, hospitality without pontification , and a truly relaxing experience to treat yourself to some time at The Prospect! 2 thumbs up, 5 stars,  10 outta 10, would do again.

The whole unit was very dark, lighting is atrocious, non existent. The whole bathroom wall running the length into tge bedroom is glass! How strange and inconvenient is that? The bathroom towels were just about thread bare and small. The downstairs cabana suites had a nice patio with seating and a private lounge bed outdoors. There was also a nice seating area inside with a couch, the way it should be. Our upstairs Cabana Suite had a long narrow balcony with two wire chairs and a little round coffee table, but no coffee! No coffee maker provided in the room, I had to go down to the lobby to get a hot beverage. If you can't have caffeine, don't bother, there's no decaf available. This is my third time here, trying out various rooms, but most likely won't be back. I would not consider this a luxury hotel. It felt like they were cutting corners wherever they could. The only restaurant open for breakfast is outside by the pool with plastic to go packages of eating utensils. Luxury? Nope. The servers were nice, but service was painfully slow. On a hot day you'll have to wait for a shady spot or leave the property. Dismal....

The front desk has two or three employees depending on the time. Everyone was friendly; Barry, Carlos, Niki, Zena, Tosh, Taylor, Miguel and Oscar. I reserved a room online at: https://walkoffamehostel.com/ I reserved a private room and it's not ready until 3 pm. I wish I would have known that before showing up. There is a luggage room with surveillance and I left my bag. I have an expensive Apple PowerBook and they held this behind the front desk. I left and returned at 5 pm to find all of my things cared for during my absence. First observation is aside from the ratty steps at the entrance this place is incredibly clean. The floors, the bathrooms, the ledges, the lounge area, kitchen; there is no dust and the scent of clean is everywhere. I love the hot and cold filtered water machines located all around the public areas. I literally walk ten feet from my room for this. My private room number 3 has a queen bed, refrigerator, tv, cable box and two remotes. I could not get the cable to work but Carlos at the front desk came in and fixed it. He also explained the remotes. The queen size bed is comfortable; I would prefer if it were higher off the floor. I blame my mother for spoiling me. Huge closet area. It's bigger than my master bedroom closet. I have a European air conditioner that I don't need tonight because my big window has a good evening breeze and there is a ceiling fan above the bed. The tv sound and quality is excellent. WiFi power is excellent; this is very important to me. This WiFi is stronger than my stays at Hilton, Sheraton, Marriott and Holiday Inn Suites. The room has some art and good lighting but there are two wall red lamps and I can't find the light switch for them. Miguel came to my room and showed me how to use. The windows facing south of Sunset have lots of noise from the parking employee conversation and laughter. It just echos in the room. I finally closed the double pane windows and there was no longer any noise. To turn the ac I had to go retrieve a remote from the front desk and return it. These ac units are completely silent and work very well. The temperature and lack of noise in my room was excellent. All I could hear was moving air. A friend came over to deliver food and passed by the front desk. They came to knock on the door and asked for his ID; I love that because it's a younger clientele and it feels right. I'm very impressed. Love the location. Lots of charm. There are $40/beds in shared rooms if I wanted to save bucks. The rate with tax for my private room is $131.00.

The guy at the front desk is sketchy and rude but at least he fits the vibe of the whole experience. All the floors, carpets, and walls are stained and dirty. Room has no security lock and the door looks like a gas station bathroom door. The furniture in the room is stained with what I hope is just dried up alcohol. You get a tv held together by duct tape, a small package of shampoo, and a bar of soap the size of your thumb. Luckily Hollywood has a night life that you can experience because you won't be able to sleep in these rooms. Breakfast was a sleeve of Wonder bread (no butter), a sleeve of chewy chips ahoy, instant coffee (make yourself) and granulated sugar. If this was advertised as a immersive haunted house experience I would consider it. It was an experience of hearing my neighbors fart, sneeze, and hearing their intimate private conversations because the walls are basically plywood. Even my neighbors conversations that are at a normal level sounded like they were in bed with me yelling in my ear. It's as if there are no walls and you feel like your sharing the room with your neighbor. This is more of a hostel from a horror movie than a "vip hotel." Before they try to remove my review, the booking was under my wife's name Amanda Long.

She'd forget details of every story, flat out said she had a script she was ignoring and "winging it" but then proceeded to not remember or say anything of interest. Most stories climax was "and well...you know...anyway." I can't tell you a single thing about any location. She said there were pictures of ghosts but she "couldn't find them". Another member of the group said they paid extra for EVPs that she "forgot" to bring. Absolutely no one in the tour enjoyed the experience and a few of us started telling our own stories just so we didn't feel like we'd completely wasted our time. My group took a couple other people from the tour with us at the end to the Roosevelt, since it was listed as a stop we never went to, and told them stories ourselves and saved the night post tour. Jacky is a lovely girl but the worst tour guide I've ever experienced. It wasn't expensive but I'm angry I spent even $1 on this. I wish we had the experience everyone else seems to have gotten.
