Budget Inn Hollywood

The hotel seems to get a bad reputation based on it's location, which for anyone who's visited Hollywood knows that the glitz and glam is nothing more than TV magic. The city is a rough area outside the main strip and even then when you venture off towards the edges of it the true Hollywood shows up. But that's not the hotels fault. It does exactly what it says on the tin, it provides somewhere to sleep and change while being a walking distance from a collective of amenities such as 7/11, starbucks, KFC and In-n-out burger, it's also a 5 minute walk at most from the Chinese theatre and Ovation shopping centre and only 2km from Universal Studios. I stayed 4 days and only once heard any sort of issue, but unless you're stopping in Beverely Hills or paying $4000 a night you're going to see the real Hollywood and like the famous people who call it home - find out it's actually pretty bad. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone if they're in need of somewhere cheap, clean and just a place to rest. Don't be put off by the people who expect the world because the oscars make them think TV never lies.
