Hollywood Highland Hotel & Hostel (LA)


The worst of the American hostels in which I have stayed.

For starters the business would not accept my reservation sans booking via hostelworld.com. I asked my white friend to book the room on my behalf and would you believe things were secured without a hitch. Note: He gave no credit card number nor was asked to proceed through the website. Ahhh, the perks of being white. With the room now confirmed I counted myself lucky to be paying $25 nightly. In retrospect, that was about twenty dollars too much for what is gained in reality.

The manager Richard is a lumbering, under educated, uncouth "asshole" (his words!) who resembles one of those ugly and out of shape losers you might see in black gang-bang flicks. He wouldn't know multiculturalism if the U.N. bit him in his fat black ass. Crass, sloppy, ghetto are fancy words to surmise his person but the pig described himself best:
"I'm not only surly," Richard huffed, "I'm an asshole too." We all have our talents.
Any manager who comes off threatening and assures you he is an asshole is probably indicative of the business's quality; And, surprise, surprise, it was.
Rooms are unbearable with no fortifications against the climate. I survived a week at H&H in the late summer and each night it was too hot to sleep. Some nice marks for this dive are that the commons room has cable and DVD player and the small kitchen, two large refrigerators and dish ware. The free breakfasts consist of white bread slices, jam, milk or coffee/tea and more peanut butter than Ben Affleck ate on the Voyage of the Mimi. Internet access, though, is not free and operated via a private company. Instead, you can access the Internet for cheaper at the laundromat two blocks around the corner or for free at any California library replete with loitering hobos and lingering homos.

Aside from its location which is in the loins of famous Hollywood Boulevard (steps from the Kodak Theater) I would
never
recommend staying here for more than a night.

PS: If you are black be sure to pack a white friend for possibly better customer service

  1. Thats it, play the race card!!! That right there shows who the uneducated one is!!! If there are things lacking from the hostel (like A/C) then blame the owner, not the staff, who cleans up after your SHIT on a daily basis!!! What, the staff is suppose to pay out of their own pocket for assholes like you???? I dont think so. Maybe if you got a real job one day, you would understand the work that goes into unstopping clogged toilets, mopping, cleaning, etc, etc, etc,. So take your stupid blog and shove it up your asshole.

  2. My web log does not suck but, yes, this hostel does. As a self regarded "asshole" the manager shows a low regard for customer service, hospitality, and clean-looking appearance. For hiring Richard the owner can't be too far removed either.

    My reservation via telephone was only honored once my white friend placed a call immediately after me. Therefore the race card was aptly pulled and stays on the table!

    No man or woman need ever clean up after me, especially a fat, slovenly gorilla nigga like the one who supposedly "manages" the pitiful H&H Hotel Hostel. Btw, cleaning and unclogging toilets is called HOUSEKEEPING. Part of the job of maintaining a hostel so if you can't stomach it, then quit...L.A. has no shortage of Mexicans who'll take your place with a mop and a smile.

    Hell, should the owner call ME I'll accept and gladly perform the "real job" better than you.

  3. First of all you no talent, wannabe black American get your facts straight. How are we supposed to know what race one is when one calls? Hell how did we know that you were "black". You write like a white boy and you probably think that Emminem is the king of hip hop. Maybe the Beastie boys? You watch a few rap videos or black exploitation movies and now you are "down" with the cause? Slagging off the manager because he emasculated you or making racially juvenile comments show your education level is as primitive as the ape that you came from. Identify yourself with a photo so i can show Richard what your broke ass looks like or better yet return to L.a. and pop in for a visit. You are a racist and a poser. If you had any balls or class you would have talked all of this shit about Richard to his face instead of hiding in another country or behind a computer. We know that you are a pedophile who probably was turned down by a 12 year old and decided to start a blog to get attention. Richard wont respond to this because he is too busy raking in money from the over 600 white reservations that we received this summer. Richard has promised however to autograph an 8X10 glossy for you. Send us an address and he will mail it to you. I would love to send some Mexicans to you and have them hang you in effigy. I am fascinated that you know so much about cleaning and toilets. I guess that first rate education that you have, has really paid off. Maybe you can tell me how to disinfect the bullshit that is coming from your mouth!!!! Oh my god, you have been emasculated again...

  4. "would love to send some Mexicans"?! Huh?? Well...you and every unemployed American 'cause Lord knows L.A. has more than enough to spare. Ha!

    Clearly H&H maintains a classy staff.

    Btw, we all know Shaft was a bad muthaf--oops--LET ME SHUT MY MOUTH!
