Okayyyyy, so this was my FIRST time staying at the Hollywood Volume Hotel, and first of all, I gotta give credit where credit is due!
This hotel is CLEANNNNN!!! Like, SPOTLESS. The AC blows colder than the freaking ARCTIC!!! 😂 And let me tell you, this is the first hotel I’ve stayed at in a LONG time where I didn’t have to adjust to dusty air or feel like I needed to get used to the room. The air feels clean, the room feels clean, everything just feels fresh. I LOVE THAT.
And the VIBES??? The entrance, the little bar area, the decor, the whole atmosphere. I loveeee the theme they have going on. It almost feels like what I’d imagine walking into a cool boutique hotel somewhere in Thailand would feel like. Just a really dope aesthetic all around.
Now, ONE little suggestion for management. PLEASE upgrade those shower heads! 😂 I appreciate the gold fixtures and how everything matches the theme, but mannnn, those shower heads are not it! The water pressure is lacking, and you can’t adjust the spray settings. I literally went out and BOUGHT MY OWN SHOWER HEAD because I wasn’t about to deal with that the whole stay. So you're welcome to whoever stays in room 620 next if they don't remove the shower head I bought LOL. Get some nice adjustable ones with good pressure and you’re GOLDEN. Literally.
BUT NONE OF THAT IS WHY I’M WRITING THIS REVIEW.
I CAME HERE FOR MARIAAAAA!!!!!!!
LISTENNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
I left my room in a HURRY, and when I tell you it looked like a whole HURRICANE had blown through there, I MEAN IT. 😂 Maria, if you’re reading this, I AM SO SORRY!!! LMAOOOO.
But when I came back to my room????
HOLYYYYYY SMOKESSSSSSS!!!!
I genuinely could not believe what I walked into.
My bed was made so perfectly it looked like somebody had come in and staged the room for a luxury hotel photoshoot. My mess??? GONE. Everything was so neat, so organized, so meticulously put together.
EVEN THE TOILET PAPER WAS FOLDED BACK INTO THAT LITTLE FANCY HOTEL TRIANGLE DESIGN!!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEE?!?!
It’s the LITTLE THINGS!!! The attention to detail!!! The PRIDE in her work!!! You can tell when somebody is just doing a job versus somebody who genuinely takes their craft seriously.
And MARIA??? SHE IS THAT PERSON.
I’m not even exaggerating when I say this woman needs to be promoted to a NATIONAL HOUSEKEEPING TRAINER with a HIGH SIX-FIGURE SALARY!!!
I’m talking fly Maria around the COUNTRY, put her in front of every housekeeping team this company has, and let her teach a MASTERCLASS on what excellence looks like!!!
Because whatever she’s doing??? EVERYBODY NEEDS TO LEARN IT.
And Hollywood Volume management, I’m talking directly to YOU now. If you have somebody this talented, this meticulous, and this committed to excellence on your team and you don’t recognize it, reward it, and give her the opportunity to train others, your company is genuinely missing out. And I’m gonna be VERY upset as a patron! 😂
Seriously though, employees like Maria are the reason people remember a hotel, come back, and tell other people about their experience.
I came here expecting a nice, clean hotel stay. I did NOT expect to leave wanting to campaign for somebody’s entire career advancement. LMAOOOO.
MARIAAAAA, THANK YOUUUUU SOOOOO MUCH!!!
You absolutely MADE my stay, and I hope somebody in upper management reads this and understands just how valuable you are.
GIVE MARIA HER FLOWERS!!! GIVE MARIA HER RAISE!!! AND LET THIS WOMAN TEACH THE REST OF THE COUNTRY HOW IT’S DONE!!!
10/10 SERVICE. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
P.S. I’m serious about those shower heads though. 😂
