Magic Castle Hotel

Reasonable prices, with a Continental breakfast included, and free snacks (think "soda, candies, salty treats,"as they explain) all day and night make the Magic Castle Hotel an excellent home away from home. The comfortable basic rooms feature free wireless, refrigerator, coffee maker, DVD player, and even robes and slippers, making the Magic Castle Hotel a cut above other budget offerings in Los Angeles. And it is located just above the bustling section of Hollywood, steps away from the famed TCL Chinese Theater IMAX, Hollywood & Highland shopping center and the Dolby Theatre, where the Academy Awards are handed out each year. Plus, there's a heated swimming pool, turn-down service and the place is very kid friendly, which explains why the hotel keeps winning awards like the 2014 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.
