Scene
A effort at style makes this motel more welcoming than the typical budget option.
The Americas Best Value Inn - Los Angeles/Hollywood building has a vaguely Spanish meets Southwestern theme; it's painted in clay red and maize yellow. The facade looks clean and well-kept, as do the interiors, although there's little common space. The lobby/reception area is small, but not unstylish. A row of modern prints hang above a sofa covered with plush pillows. Next to the couch, there's coffee, juice, and pastries (which make up the free continental breakfast), but beyond a two-person table there's little space to eat. The hotel attracts budget travelers and is ideal for tourists who want a cheap spot to stay near Hollywood.
Location
Near restaurants, shops, public transportation, and Hollywood attractions
The America Best Value Inn sits on a busy road in an unattractive part of Hollywood, across the street from a dollar store and a tire shop. Like many places in Los Angeles, it's best to rent a car, but there are restaurants and shops in close proximity. The motel is a 10- to 20-minute drive from big attractions such as the Kodak Theater, Hollywood Bowl, and Staples Center. The metro is a short walk away. The airport is a 25-minute drive without traffic, but can take much longer to reach depending on the time of day.
Rooms
Small, but reasonably modern, budget rooms
The rooms at the Americas Best Value Inn are on the small side and can feel cramped, but they are clean and contemporary, and come with mini-fridges, microwaves, and cable TV with HBO. A step up from what can be found at many budget motels, rooms have a modern style, with sleek black furniture, simple three-photo frames of stones and rose petals above the headboards, and gray and maroon bedding. The bathrooms lose this touch however, and remain cramped, bland, and worn, with calcified shower heads, some of which have become detached from the wall.
Features
Free Wi-Fi, a basic free breakfast, and an outdoor pool
Amenities at the motel are limited, but Wi-Fi is free throughout and there's on-site parking. The inn also has its own small outdoor pool, and a free breakfast of pastries, tea, and coffee is available in the lobby every morning.
