This hotel has a tremendous amount of history which they really don't take advantage of. In the heyday of Hollywood in the 40's, this was a family getaway for the stars even including trout streams. They do have a lot of photos on the wall worth looking at though. The rooms seemed to have a musty or old smoke smell... More

So...I got a deal through one of those travel websites, and as soon as I was "awarded" the Sportsmen's Lodge Hotel", I was nervous.....This is a historic hotel right on Ventura Boulevard, and you should only expect to be treated decently by a gentleman by the name of Justin, a bellman at the property. He was most helpful, and had... More

If you are in the area for business or pleasure, this is a convenient location to get to anywhere in the East Valley (Sherman Oaks, Studio City, NoHo) and they have a free shuttle to Universal Studios. The rooms are classic/old school....rooms are fairly large....beds are comfy...bathrooms are small. Its also nice to have a balcony in case you want... More

They have closed their work out facility. It is no longer free to have guests swim in the pool. If you are staying there is it free but my... More

I really enjoyed this hotel very much. Very very comfortable, very quiet. It's easy access to buy foods, eat out .... I look forward to coming back to Sportsman's Lodge hotel soon.

We stayed here for two nights while visiting L. A. and going to Universal Studios. The free shuttle to U.S. was why we chose this hotel and it worked out perfect. There is nothing really to do in walking distance and Ventura Blvd. was pretty dead - it was midweek but still not much to do nearby. The lobby of... More

Driving along Ventura Boulevard you arrive at the Sportsmens Lodge, our hotel in LA at the end of our roadtrip down from San Francisco. It is like stepping back in time, you can imagine the greats of the silver screen staying here in their heyday. Now it is still a nice hotel but needs bringing back to it's former glory.... More

I recently stayed at this hotel for business and I was pleasantly surprised. It is in one of the best locations in LA for access to the Valley and Hollywood attractions. It is easy to get around without having to use the major (traffic clogged) freeways. This was a fine hotel for a business traveler. They have free WiFi, a... More
