Loews Hollywood Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great Location. Clean rooms. Paid extra for upgraded Wifi but it didn't work. Front desk couldn't help. Sent me to tech support. Took maybe an hour to get it working. Would have rather been on vacation. I was told I couldn't use the luggage cart for insurance purposed. That's a first."
