LEXEN HOTEL - HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME-UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, Los Angeles

The hotel sits at the heart of Hollywood's entertainment strip, with the Hollywood Bowl, Dolby Theatre, TCL Chinese Theatre, and Hollywood & Highland Center all within a very short stroll. Universal Studios Hollywood is a 10-minute drive (5 km) away, and Hollywood Burbank Airport is 11 km from the property. The immediate area offers a wide range of restaurants, bars, and shops within a few blocks, as well as metro and bus routes for car-free travel. The location is especially practical for concert-goers and tourists wanting to explore Hollywood Boulevard on foot, though the neighbourhood has a busy street atmosphere and some nearby street activity.

Room types include Deluxe Rooms with one queen or one king bed (21 m²), and two-bedroom suites (23 m²) that come with two separate queen-bed rooms, each with its own bathroom. All rooms feature carpeted floors, heating, cable TV, and free toiletries. The two-bedroom suite is the only option with two queen beds - no double-queen rooms or rollaway beds are available. Street-facing rooms on Highland Avenue can be affected by traffic noise, so requesting a quieter side may help lighter sleepers. The overall decor and some furnishings are older, with low-profile beds and no box springs, and some rooms show signs of wear. No rooms have balconies or in-room safes, and windows that open are available in some units.

A vending machine on the second floor offers drinks and snacks, but there is no breakfast service, no café, and no room service. The hotel's location is surrounded by a wide range of dining options within a short walk, including Hard Rock Cafe (1 km), California Pizza Kitchen (0.5 km), and several casual and fast-food choices on Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Strip. For those with a car or willing to take a short walk, many additional restaurants are available less than 2 km away.

Leisure activities are all external. The property's primary draw is its proximity to Hollywood's entertainment attractions - the Hollywood Bowl is a 5-minute walk, the Walk of Fame and Dolby Theatre are within 10 minutes, and Universal Studios Hollywood is about 10 minutes away by car. Griffith Park and the Griffith Observatory are also close (3 km), providing hiking and city views. The on-site shared lounge and TV area serves as an indoor relaxation space, while the vending machine provides basic refreshments.

The hotel operates with a 24-hour front desk, so late arrivals are accommodated. Luggage storage is available free of charge, useful for early arrivals or late departures. Daily housekeeping is included. Parking is on-site but costs $24 per day, and the lot is very small - holding about 12-15 cars with stacked (double) parking. This arrangement means most cars are blocked in and require leaving the keys at the front desk so staff can move vehicles. A lift serves upper floors, but there are no keycard-secured elevator or hallways. The property provides CCTV in common and outside areas, smoke alarms, and key card access, though some rooms have reported deadbolt issues. Cash payments are accepted for the room; the $200 deposit must be on card. No airport shuttle or property shuttle is offered.
