"My husband and I stayed at the Franklin Hotel to celebrate his 30th birthday, and we absolutely loved the vibe of this hotel. If you’re a movie lover, this place is a dream — every wall is covered with autographed photos and incredible memorabilia that make the hotel feel unique and full of character.
Our room was extremely spacious, and we were pleasantly surprised to find both a refrigerator and microwave. We also loved the in-room radio and had a great time listening to 104.3 FM while getting ready each night.
The view was spectacular. We paid extra for a room with a view of the Hollywood sign, and it was completely worth it. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the pillows were honestly some of the best we’ve ever experienced at a hotel. The only downside was that the water pressure could have been better.
Each morning, we started our day with coffee from Clark Cafe, conveniently attached to the hotel, and we also enjoyed drinks at the bar in the evenings. We tried the French 75 and the Lost World — both were delicious, but the Lost World with two cherries was my favorite!
Overall, we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this hotel. And if you visit, don’t forget to take photos in the iconic stairwell filled with autographed photos — it makes for the perfect Hollywood-style photo shoot!"
