Were thinking of staying at the Ramada Plaza Hotel, West Hollywood in May 09 for 2 nights.

Has anyone stayed here before and give any other recommendations close to West Hollywood.

The Ramada is offering the 2 nights for 拢170 plus 拢25 a day car parking. Is this a good price?

Thank you

Well, the Ramada is one of the less expense properties in West Hollywood. That%26#39;s because, among other things, it is not on or near the famous Sunset Strip area of hotels, restaurants, clubs, etc. It is, instead on Santa Monica Bl which is within walking distance to the thriving gay community%26#39;s night life area. In addition, the hotel gets inconsistent reviews:

When you say ';close to West Hollywood';, what do you mean exactly? A 15 minute drive away, perhaps?

For about the same money, Hotwire.com is offering a:

4-star hotel in Beverly Hills - West Hollywood

for $119 US

Hotwire does not disclose the name of the hotel until you provide credit csrd info and agree to book but based upon Hotwire%26#39;s history in this neighborhood and the description that they%26#39;ve provided, it is MOST LIKELY, LE Parc Suites which is in a quiet residential neighborhood in the southern part of West Hollywood, about a 6-minute drive from the Ramada and not far from the Beverly Center shopping Center and Beverly Hills.

Here are reviews of the hotel:

The $110 rate is half the normal room rate so it%26#39;s a great buy. Ramada, btw, is only a 2-star hotel.

Good luck!

I%26#39;ve never been impressed with Ramada hotels. They%26#39;re pretty shabby and outdated for the price they charge. Have you checked out the Best Western Sunset Plaza? It%26#39;s smack in the middle of Sunset Blvd and you will be within walking distance of some great restaurant/bars. Plus you%26#39;ll be a short taxi ride away from Beverly Hills and Hollywood.

If you like the area you might try The Chamberlain. My experience has been very good there. My last experience with a Ramada was not good and I would not recommend.

Well, the hotel is near the sunset strip. 3 blocks to be exact or 5 minute walking.

For some reason this particular hotel does not get to many good reviews on tripadvisor. I had friends there plenty of times and never saw or experienced anything particular bad

It is kinda a party hotel as it is in the middle of all the West Hollywood gay bars, clubs and restaurants. So some people might be more loud as they should be. But from a property perspective it is well maintained and has some nice rooms

I stayed at the Ramada in West Hollywood in July 2007 - I found it to be quite fine - it was clean, decent size rooms and a nice location.

It%26#39;s not too far at all from Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard, maybe $6 in a cab but if you are only there for two days, I think it would be fine.
