Harrison Hotel Hollywood – My Honest Review
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars
My wife and I traveled from Bradenton to Hollywood for a weekend getaway, and our stay at the Harrison Hotel was the worst hotel experience we have ever had.
We arrived around 9:15 PM and checked in with an employee named Eli. My wife mentioned she was thirsty after our long drive, yet he never offered the complimentary welcome bag with water bottles — something we later learned is supposed to be standard. He also didn’t explain anything about the hotel’s amenities, breakfast, or services.
We were assigned Room 423. After briefly dropping off our luggage, we left for the Hard Rock Casino. When we returned, our key card no longer worked, and a “Do Not Disturb” sign was on the door. At the front desk, a staff member named Iyaris told us that another guest had been staying in that room for two nights. Eli had checked us into an occupied room. Had we left our luggage inside, it could have been a serious security issue.
Iyaris apologized and moved us to what they called a “suite,” but the room had mold on the ceiling and did not feel clean. Because it was late, we stayed but slept in our clothes.
The next day, after being gone all day, we returned around 8 PM to find that housekeeping never cleaned our room. When I asked for towels and washcloths, the front desk staff wouldn’t even make eye contact and said she didn’t have any available. She later brought only two washcloths and two hand towels.
At checkout, Eli again dismissed the room mix‑up by saying, “Well, sometimes that happens,” which was completely unacceptable.
Overall, this hotel failed in every category: professionalism, cleanliness, communication, and basic hospitality. If I could give this hotel a rating below zero, I absolutely would. We will never stay here again and do not recommend it to anyone.
