I recently spent a week at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel. My experience at this hotel was excellent, although it seems that they tend to offer more twin beds than King sized rooms. I had booked a King and was told that they did not have any available when I checked in. I inquired if there were any being cleaned and was informed that there probably would not be any more even if I waited a while to check in. I decided to go ahead and take a twin room when the very friendly desk clerk advised me that she had a “27” room, which is the Handicap Accessible room on each floor. I asked if this room might be needed by another customer with special needs but was assured that there were plenty of these rooms available. I decided to go ahead and take the room.
One thing that the desk clerk made clear to me was that the “27” rooms are very close to the elevator and that some customers complain about the noise. I asked if the mechanical room was adjacent this room and was advised that it is not…the noise is more related to the traffic coming off the elevator (other customers talking loudly). I was in a room adjacent to the mechanical room when I stayed at the Toronto Sheraton Town Centre and had to have my room changed. This room did not have any of the mechanical noise from my prior experience and I did not have any problems with other customers talking loudly or excessive elevator traffic outside my door. In terms of noise, I found this hotel to be rather quiet.
As you look back onto the Lobby after checking in, you can see out the front glass doors to the front drive, which shields the main road using a large black granite waterfall. At night, the project their logo onto the water. There is a bar to the right as you enter the hotel, which opens into the Lobby. The Concierge is located to the left with a small gift shop and ATM machine secreted behind their desk along with several advertisements for local attractions. The bellhop desk is located in front of the check-in desk and has a complimentary M&M Machine with uniquely colored (grey, brown, ruddish) candies dispensed from a large gumball like machine. There are complimentary water stations on either side of the Bellhop desk, which are filled with ice water and melons. Refreshing. The lobby is open and inviting.
