I had an amazing time at this hotel. I in recent weeks have stayed at the one hotel, the ritz Carlton, and four seasons all in various cities. The realness and kindness and overall hospitality of the magic castle hotel is very worth it. It has a very cozy feel, and the amenities are all worth looking into/ utilizing. I was greeted by Kevin and Kit who were wonderful, and then the night ended with Randy at the front desk. Randy sat and entertained all my silly questions about the history of the hotel and a bunch of movies that related to old Hollywood culture. I've lived within 30-40 minutes north and south through 27 years of life, and this is one of my favorite hotel experiences I've ever had. If you're a real one this is the place for you. Shoutout Randy, Kit, and Kevin. read more

We went to the Magic Castle for dinner and the shows a few weekend's ago and wanted to give some recognition to the Magic Castle Hotel. We were able to get admission to the Magic Castle through the Magic Castle Hotel by booking a room at their location which is adjacent to the Castle. We made a day of it by checking in with Nicole who took great care of us, the hotel offers complimentary car service to Yashimiro which is located on the hill above both the Castle and Hotel. We went up there (as I posted earlier) for drinks and nibbles before the show which was later. When we came back we were able to clean up and dress into the accepted attire for the Magic Castle. Nicole and her co workers offered us complimentary champagne upon arrival, a cornucopia of delicious snacks, assorted cappuccino/lates, soda and soft serve ice cream all with 24 hour access. We got a great 2 bedroom room which worked perfect for what we needed, our besties daughter and husband met us at the hotel later and they spent the night when we drove home. Room was great, pool area was very inviting with the intense heat we were having. Staff were amazingly helpful and the room rate was very reasonable for a Hollywood location. What a great way to get access to the Magic Castle if you are not a member. We had a great time at the Castle but photos are not allowed in the Castle during the shows and didn't want to take a chance to photo our fabulous dinners. The food was much better than the last time we were there 2 years ago, shows are always superb and fun. So if you want to visit the Magic Castle for dinner and a magic show book it through the Magic Castle Hotel And make it an overnight experience, the shows run late and it beats driving home after. Nicole and the staff will take great care of you and you can also visit Yashimiro and other local spots in Hollywood. Bravissimo Magic Castle and Hotel. We will be back! read more

I would never stay anywhere else in Hollywood even if I didn't have kids. Wonderful hotel. It's actually converted apartments but still has that apartment feel, complete with a kitchenette. Simple but classy decor. Comfortable bed and pillows. Shower head's a little low but that's the worst thing I can say about it. Service is wonderful. In addition to the popsicle hotline, they have unlimited snacks, soft serve (chocolate coconut and vanilla on our stay - the coconut was a wonderful surprise), and Coke remix. Good continental breakfast included. They even offered us more snacks for the road when we came back to collect our bags. The pool is small, but gets the job done - and open 24/7 (while observing quiet hours). Hollywood Boulevard is in walking distance and it's a short ride/drive to Universal Studios and other local attractions. read more

We had an amazing time staying at the hotel. Unfortunately there was construction and were unable to go to the magic show experience next door. I did enjoy the 1 magician who was by the pool area for an hour he did close up magic. From the popsicle hot line to the unlimited snacks all night long the three of us felt pampered. They even do your laundry, with a fresh sprig of lavender, fluff and fold if you stay for atleast 2 nights. read more

I recently found out the Magic Castle workaround, where if booking a night at the Magic Castle Hotel directly and they tell you that they have openings at the MC upon booking, you can get into the MC without a member. So we did just that to celebrate my bf's birthday. Every staff member that I interacted with from the time of booking to the time of checkout went above and beyond with customer service. It's rare to feel such warm service these days and they provided just that. The hotel itself is rated a 3 star hotel so don't come expecting anything super fancy. It's an old hotel with very simple rooms. The bathrooms were a bit dirty, you have to slam your door to get it to latch, and you can hear your neighbors. But overall the room was comfortable and just what we needed for a place to lay our heads after a fun night at the Magic Castle. There are lots of fun complimentary amenities that make the hotel feel geared toward children, as well as a 24 hour heated pool. They offer self serve soft serve, one of the massive soda machines with tons of flavors, a popsicle hotline by the pool, snacks and full-size candy bars, and a morning espresso machine. There is a tightly-squeezed parking garage under the hotel and they'll drive you up the short hill to and from the Magic Castle if you need it. Overall the helpful staff and the simplicity of visiting the Magic Castle made this a good stay for us, even as LA locals. read more

The rooms are dated and are very similar to apartment units. Kitchenettes are handy but we didn't have a need for it. It's all the extra perks and the staff that really make this a magical and charming place for the kids. They loved the snacks, soda machine, soft serve machine, and the magician was certainly a highlight. The popsicle hotline was a fun experience. The free breakfast was prepackaged croissants and pastries, basic toast and coffee. Definitely a place for kids. read more

Magical! Wonderful team (thanks Kevin!) secure parking, free soft serve, candy, breakfast, and of course the the popsicle hotline at the pool! Huge suites and very comfy beds and great towels, robes... definitely coming back!! read more

Booked a room here last minute for a trip to Universal. We were greeted by a nice young man that checked us in (didn't get his name) and then another nice gentleman came through the doors with a tray of champagne and apple juice for the kids. He let me know his name was Randy. They let us know that the soft serve ice cream machine and soda fountain was still open but closing soon (we got there a little after 11:00 pm). We all helped ourselves to some on the way to our room delicious! The room was nice and big, pullout couch in the living room and a nice dining area and kitchen. You can use the pool anytime uou just have to observe quiet hours. I was laying in bed looking up the story of this place since I was so intrigued by it. Guys, Randy is the owner! I was so shocked I don't know why. I still don't, he was so nice and gracious I just wouldn't have expected the owner of the place to be there just helping check people in and happy as can be. I told my husband that the only thing I was disappointed in, is that we picked such a nice spot for such a short stay. I definitely want to go back and just be there, rest and hang out. read more

Flight delayed. Spirits low. But then I remembered... the Emergency Popsicle Hotline exists. Unreasonable hospitality in its finest Yes, it's real. Yes, it's red. Yes, it's at the Magic Castle Hotel. One call, and moments later, a staff member in white gloves delivered a popsicle on a silver tray like I was royalty in a parallel universe where whimsy is policy. This isn't customer service. This is truly unreasonable hospitality. The kind that turns a travel hiccup into a story you'll tell forever. The kind that reminds you: magic is real and sometimes, it's frozen. read more

What a quaint hotel with it's own quirks. If you're going to the Magic Castle next door, this is super convenient. The two places only share a name -- the hotel is more throwback vintage and not so much magic. But that's ok. If you like quirky, then you'll be a fan of the popsicle hotline, tons of free snacks, free soda and soft serve machines. The room is clean but more quaint and not at all luxurious. And that's ok! If you park, the garage is a tight squeeze! Front desk staff very nice. read more

Magic Castle Hotel - Standard room. - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

3 or 4 star hotel for 5 star pricing. There are a lot of very nice touches: champagne during check-in, free drinks, ice-cream, breakfast, and popsicles. The staff were quirky and friendly. The room looks very nice at first glance and the size is wonderful. I was disappointed that there was chipped paint throughout and mildew in the bath caulking. Also, the shower head was the cheapest kind you can buy and caked with hard water. The TV was pretty blurry and totally froze when we tried to connect our device to play Netflix. It's weird to stay at a hotel these days and not have access to our own streaming services. The couch was hard as a rock. Thankfully the bed was very comfortable! Unfortunately we scratched our car trying to park in the very tight spots. They can't do anything about that but I do wish they would've warned us before we pulled into the lot. If you want to be within walking distance to the Chinese theater, Ovation, and walk of fame, this is definitely the place to stay. We were able to park our car and walk everywhere for the duration of our stay. It is VERY family friendly. Kids will love it! For the price, I wish the space was maintained better. It felt old-dirty in contrast to the Magic Castle Club which feels old-elegant. read more

PARKING: They make sure to have parking for you! There's a garage that opens with your room card once you check in. Pre check in, there's a small lot and also 20 minutes spaces in front as well. SEATING: The lobby is small and no seating but it's fine because you don't need space to check in/out of your room. They also have a cute little gift shop set up which I had to get something as I checked out. For breakfast in the morning, they do set up multiple tables right outside the lobby near the pool. Really nice! Loved how nice it was set up. SERVICE: Amazing customer service! So many people were so nice checking us in and out. Off the top of my head whose names I remember are Nicole, Kevin, Gina, Johann, and Edgar I believe! They all answered any questions we had and were so nice! I booked the hotel through their website due to the fact you can get an invite to the Magic Castle! The Castle is a quick 2 minute walk but they were so nice to drive us over! They do offer rides back but before Midnight. Also when we checked in, they gave us cups of bubbly to celebrate my partner's birthday! And when we got into the room, they gifted him a birthday card and a full bottle of bubbly!! Extremely nice and totally top notch top service which was definitely appreciated! FOOD: They offered snacks at the front any time of day! But the real winnes are the popsicle hotline, the soda machine and the soft serve machine! Very nice and cute ideas especially for people of all ages! There was also an espresso machine in the lobby as well! There was a complimentary breakfast from 7AM to 10AM which we took advantage of and they had lots of pastries, cereal, fruits, toast, juice, yogurt. Very delicious! ROOM: You can definitely tell the room was a bit older due to the state of the room and the fixtures but all we needed the room for was to sleep in after a long night at the Magic Castle. It was a room and it did its job! I slept fantastic! And you could barely hear any neighbors around unless they were closing their main door because, our room included, it took a good slam to get them closed. The room was very clean and you could tell they made sure it was spotless. The sheets were neatly tucked and nothing out of the ordinary. Plenty of towels and plenty of little essentials like shampoo, conditioner, bar hand soap, and the like. OVERALL: A bit pricey but they do justify why based off what they offer on all levels. Definitely felt welcomed here even if we just stayed the one night. Would come back if needed because it was just so cozy and great here! read more

If you're looking for a fancy upscale place to stay, keep looking. But if you like the idea of friendly employees who want your stay to be as stress-free as possible, stick around. The free snacks are abundant (see photos), plus free soft serve, free breakfast (continental, in the lobby), free popsicles by the pool, free soda fountain, aaaaand a pass to the super-exclusive Magic Castle next door(-ish) (not free, hahaha). The rooms are a tad worn down and old, but the furniture is fresh, the beds and linens are nice, the showers and bathrooms are...showers and bathrooms, and the whole place is a calm little respite in the middle of Hollywood. We've already started talking about when we might want to return. read more

Amazing hotel next to the Magic Castle. They have 24 hour popsicles. There is breakfast here and lots of snacks. They have close up magic during the day. We had a fantastic time at the Magic Castle and can't wait to stay here again. Happy Yelping! read more

This hotel is really a 1950s apartment complex that has been converted into an unexpectedly awesome hotel. The rooms, while spartan and not luxurious, are clean, comfortable, and provide just the right touch for a perfect stay in Hollywood or a visit to the Magic Castle. They have many clever and quite frankly superior amenities, which can enhance your stay, especially if you have children or a family. They have unlimited snacks, which include really good stuff like sour patch kids, and microwave popcorn. And my wife and my kids took full and gratuitous advantage of this opportunity to the point of illness, simply because the snacks were free and unlimited. Of course, the famous pool which has the popsicle hotline, also a highlight of our stay. Our children called the hotline numerous times and staff was always quick to respond. The beds were comfortable as were the pillows and other amenities in the room. Clearly, they have hospitality down to a science at the magic castle hotel. Not to mention the fact that you can get into the private Magic Castle club and experience the magic firsthand during brunch. Five stars all the way, and you would be remiss not to try this for yourself. read more

Great food, great drinks, and great fun!! Loved the shows. Everybody's so dressed up and having a good time. It does get a little noisy with the din of everyone's conversations. But the experience is well worth it. read more

An absolute gem of a hotel in a city where value is rare. The mid century modern aesthetic paired with the absolutely top notch service from the staff makes this place worth every penny. Red phone popsicle hotline, endless all day snacks, service yourself fro-yo bar, and even a mini bar for the grown ups. Disney movie nights and a community feeling at the main swimming pool it's just such a LA vibe. Do yourself a favor, ditch the Marriott and Hilton and the big names while you forgo your dumb points. Stay here instead. You won't regret it read more

I found this place through an Instagram reel that someone had posted. I really wanted to go to the Magic Castle, but didn't know a member or anyone who could invite me (since the Magic Castle is by invitation only), so finding this place was amazing! I stayed here for my birthday in late September and had a great experience! The staff: The service was truly five stars. I want to start by saying that I called them a million times before booking, asking all sorts of questions. They never once seemed put out and answered all my questions enthusiastically. The service when we got there was even better. They greeted us with bright smiles and full glasses of champagne. This is when we also learned that they had a huge list of free snacks! I am talking about a huge list of chips, candy, ice cream, etc. - for free! Unheard of for hotels or hospitality nowadays. We acted like kids when we found out and returned to our room with a little hoard. The staff was just amazing; they were very friendly and even offered to shuttle us up the hill to the castle. It's only a two-minute walk, but it is steep! And girls with heels or older people... not a good idea. They told us to call them when we were done (which we wrapped up past 1 a.m.), and they quickly came and got us. At one point, before we checked out, the manager offered to carry my luggage back down the stairs to my car in the parking garage (only one minute away, but they have steep stairs and no ramp). Now, among all of us, my family has stayed at a lot of hotels, but we all left talking about how well the staff treated us and how special they made us feel. I would 100% book again based on them alone. Accommodations: I booked two rooms. One was a suite with a full living room (with a pull-out bed), kitchen, a bedroom (two double beds), and one bathroom. We were three adults, and the area was spacious and comfortable. The other room I booked fit two adults - one queen bed and bathroom, but it was VERY small. Unfortunately, there was no dresser to put things in or on, making the space very tight. However, it worked since we were only staying one night. More than a night or two may have been difficult. Unfortunately, our rooms were not next to each other, so my party was separated, but the hotel seemed busy, and there aren't a lot of rooms. The property is small, so it didn't take long to go back and forth if we needed to. I will say that both rooms were relatively updated, modern, and clean. The property IS old and gave old Hollywood vibes - It is considered a 3-star hotel, I believe, so it was nicer than I expected! I want to note that this property is NOT easily accessible. Again, it is older AND on a hill, and they've tried to make accommodations for this (I believe I saw a wheelchair lift at the front steps or something), but I did not see any elevators to lift you to any other floor - there were three levels. I believe there were only stairs to access the rooms. This was difficult for my 60+ mother. I would mention any accessibility issues to staff so they can address them when booking. If you want a more comfortable experience, book the apartment-sized rooms. But if you are only there one night and there are only two of you, the small rooms would probably do. They did have a pool, which was very busy, and I think they even had a poolside magician for the kids! I even saw they were doing a movie night. We only stayed for the night, so we didn't get to check it out much, but the kids looked like they were having a blast and definitely took advantage of the snacks! The staff was very kind and patient with them as well. How it works: The Magic Castle Hotel is NOT the Magic Castle; however, they do become your sponsor. You can get as many tickets as your room holds, and the guest must be staying there (i.e, the apartment can fit up to six guests; however, I only had three people stay - so I got three tickets for that room). The other room held up to two people, so we got two tickets. Making it a total of five tickets. They booked my Magic Castle dinner reservation (which was required by the MC and was $45 per head to book). Parking was also $28 at the hotel per night. Overall, I truly had a magical stay and would LOVE to come back! 5-star review for me and a big shout-out to the staff for giving such great service! read more

We stayed for one night at the Magic Castle Hotel since we were attending the Magic Castle. The level of care we got from the staff was excellent.

How in the neighborhood, the town, the city, the county, the state, the country, the continent can a hotel of such perfect caliber be so perfect? Can it be upper management? Can it be the management on site? The staff? The ambiance? The free ice cream? The 911+ popsicle line? The prime location? The free snacks? The toast upon check-in? Nahhhh IT's EVERYTHING! This diamond of a gold gem is impeccable. The service is compatible to what I receive each time I stay at The Ritz-Carlton or The Waldorf WITH THE EXCEPTION of " corporate policy " but in akin with exceptional family one on one service to detail. Notable staff names : Gina, Johann, Kevin, Rod, Nick, and everyone else who has a name badge proudly displaying " THE MAGIC CASTLE HOTEL."

Magic Castle Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Magic Castle was by far my best hotel experience. It takes a special kind of person to work in hospitality, someone who is excited about having guests, who is patient, and who is helpful and it felt like every member of the staff was that kind of person. On top of the amazing staff, the accommodations are unreal. There is complimentary soft serve ice cream, complimentary soda fountain, complimentary espresso machine, and to top it all off complimentary snacks including things like full sized candies. The heated pool is open 24/7 and there played cartoons and movies at night in the courtyard which included (of course) complimentary popcorn. You would think a hotel like this would be prohibitively expensive, but it was very affordable and worth every penny. This was such a kid-friendly, welcoming hotel. I wish that we had stayed longer and would recommend anyone to go. They were even kind enough to offer late checkout read more

Friendly and helpful staff! The rooms are a bit older but clean. They left my bf a nice little champagne bday surprise when we got back from magic castle! We don't really drink but the thought was nice! They can save a bottle on us! The down fall is the paper thin walls.. and New Zealand tourists are yelling down the halls at 9am and banging their suit cases all the way down the stairs. I get it's a shared hotel, but come on.. super rude. The pools heated the folks of the hotel were still swimming at midnight so it must be warm considering how cold it got last night! Never tried the popsicle hotline but our stay was comfortable. AC and heaters work well, and the fridge is stocked! Some water in the fridges would be nice.. but there's free water outside. Maybe a nice reminder to guests about noise level early mornings would be a great addition to information given at check in!! Parking is free and accessible with your room key, lots of parking was available too! They have a 20min parking spot right out front that makes check in so convenient! read more

While the staff is nice, you're paying for the location and Magic Castle invitation. The showers, rooms, and beds are very barebone and old. Sheets are pilling, toilets are outdated and the exterior is reminiscent of 1950s hotel living. The amenities include bulk snack sizes junk food from Costco, a soft serve machine you would find at a cheap Chinese buffet, a soda and coffee machine. Breakfast is similar to gas station pastries, some boxed cereal, oatmeal and yogurt. Not much room for protein. To be fair, why spend money on a breakfast when most customers will probably go out to eat? The sizes of the apartment styled rooms are great for families or large parties as it is very spacious. However, if you're going to be out the whole day, better off getting a smaller room. However, being a 2 minute walk from the Magic Castle and 5 min drive the Walk of Fame is worth the money, just don't expect anything despite the price. The Magic Castle package isn't worth the bang for your buck unless you really want to eat at the Magic Castle which I wouldn't recommend. There are better options for the price and portions they're charging. Overall, come for the Magic Castle and nothing else. Parking is $20. read more

Without a doubt, this is the finest boutique hotel in Hollywood. The staff members are incredibly friendly, the rooms are impeccable clean, and the soda and ice cream machines are delightful bonuses. Most importantly, they truly make you feel valued. When we returned from dinner, we were greeted by a tray on the table featuring a birthday card, two glasses of champagne, snacks and a note that said, "there's something in the refrigerator for you ", which turned out to be a bottle of champagne! This establishment is clearly operated with passion and care, rather than just profit. Thank you for the fantastic hospitality. read more

Absolutely Magical! From the moment we walked in the door and was greeted by Shannon our stay was fabulous! They held our luggage until proper check in time and when we came back we had the best room! Shannon helped us carry our luggage up the stairs, was extremely nice explaining the amenities, parking etc. Also, didn't catch the name of the gentlemen handing out popsicles but also one of the nicest hotel employees I have met anywhere in the world! Room was large and very nice and the pool area is outstanding! I hate writing such a great review as I want to be able to stay here on all future visits to LA! Loved the free breakfast options as well! As a side note, it's pretty close to the Dolby Theater and the Hollywood Bowl. We were lucky enough to be going to the Magic Castle, which is a whole different 5 star experience! Amazing Place with even more amazing employees! read more

We had a wonderful vacation with our family here! Though we are local, this is a great way to get entrance to the magic Castle next-door. Service is outstanding, they really aim to please here!

The magic castle is a delight. I really didn't know what to expect and booked very purely based on being able to walk to The Hollywood Bowl. I was greeted by the nicest staff, 24/7 access to espresso and ice cream on demand. Who would have thought?! Admittedly, the room was older, but it was truly overshadowed by the experience. The room was clean and comfy, no complaints, just older. AC kept us cool and espresso kept us FUELED. The staff truly was incredibly kind. Every person, so nice. Great location. Breakfast checked the box, very continental but I love some cereal on the road. I also randomly left a reservation note about my wife's birthday and not only was it mentioned upon check in, but we had a really nice gift in our room. 10/10 recommend! read more

So we came to the magic castle hotel so we can enter into the magic castle since we didn't know a magician. The accommodations were better than expected. The room had a kitchenette and a decent size living room for 6 guests. A table outside to lookout to other guests and swimming pool. The hotel lobby peeps were super friendly and offered and drove us over to the Magic Castle which was super nice even tho it's right next door. We did have two female friends wearing high heels so it was really nice they did that favour for us. The hotel is an old school apartment complex turned hotel potentially but I don't know the history of the place. I was never aware all the years I knew of the magic castle next door. I'd definitely recommend anyone out of town to come stay at this hotel that are planning on visiting the Magic Castle. Make sure when you book the room(s) you book the magic castle through them. You get free parking in the garage and potentially get a couple of guest parking spaces for your guests if they aren't too busy. read more

I don't think I've been more excited to write a review. This hotel is just an amazing gem. It could be a totally crappy hotel, and being able to get Magic Castle entry would make it worth it. But it's NOT a crappy hotel. They have so many amenities I'd be shocked if you used them all. It was our wedding day and wanted to get away for a night, so we came here and could not be more thrilled. We needed emergency poolside popsicles, and we got emergency poolside popsicles. Welcome champagne? Yep. Coke Freestyle? Yep. Soft serve on demand? Yep. Heated pool? Yep. Full size snacks free and on demand? Yep. Free 24 hour coffee/cappuccino machine access? Yep. Clean, nice hotel rooms? Yep. Magician performing during the free continental breakfast? Yep (select days). But through all of that, the best amenity is the staff, hands down. They at least appear to love their job and genuinely love giving you a magical experience. What started as a mini-honeymoon I believe has now become an annual anniversary tradition. Just worth it in every way. I don't wanna single out any staff because they are all amazing. Any one of them would be "Employee of the Month" caliber at other places, but here, it makes for a truly, truly magical experience. They made us feel special from the moment we checked in until the moment we left. Thank you, thank you, thank you. They even made sure I actually had a MC reservation when I completely forgot to make one in advance. Just amazing. PLEASE don't take my word for it. Come experience it yourself. You will NOT be disappointed! read more

Clean room, comfy bed, hotel restaurant way exceeded our expectations. Everything was very convenient. We will come back here for sure.

The Magic Castle Hotel is wonderful. From 24/7 ice cream (updated: 10am - midnight) soda and latte machines, to the unlimited snacks on demand, this place is a dream for families. They have a pool that's open all day/night and a super cute popsicle hotline (which we tried even though we weren't swimming) I can't say enough good about this hotel. Even when I thought that we had asked a few too many times for a snack, the team here always made us feel like they were happy to get the treats for us and often offered a little more like an additional bottle of water or extra cookies so my son could make his own "McFlurry". I hope we get to stay here again because this is a special place with staff here have figured out the secret to an exceptional customer experience. Thanks for a terrific stay! read more

Kevin at the front desk was so amazing and accommodating! Truly all of the staff made it a wonderful experience.

We loved our stay here. The rooms are more like converted apartments, which we liked because it meant we had lots of room and a full kitchen, and it felt more comfortable. The service was wonderful from pre-check in to checkout, and the little perks (underground parking, popsicles, free snacks, soda and soft serve, and a shuttle to the Magic Castle next door) all made it such a pleasure to stay here. We'll definitely be back! read more

My kids love staying here every year we visit LA. Wonderful service, cool laidback vibe, great location to explore more of Hollywood. As others have said, sure the rooms are older, but I actually think that's part of the charm. Beds, a/c, etc were all great. Snacks for kids, popsicle hotline, all that fun stuff at the pool. Good place for family-friendly, accessible stay. Poor reviews seem to be people who wanted Four Seasons but didn't want to pay for it, not sure what that's about. And you people who do the couples only resorts probably won't like it but we love it read more

We stayed at the Magic Castle Hotel so we could attend shows at Magic Castle. The perk was worth it but the hotel was a disappointment. The rooms were very large but I felt the accommodations could be made to feel less cold. The furnishings were sparse. The walls and floors were not cleaned well. The walls needed repairing in many areas of our room. The living room light didn't work. We asked have it fixed. The young man said he didn't have access to supplies and it never got fixed. The perk was the free snacks and popsicles. That was fun to ask for free snacks whenever we wanted. Ok to get to see the show, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend staying at Magic Castle Hotel. read more

I booked a room at this hotel because it allows you to reserve access to their members-only club. This review is solely on the hotel stay. The check-in process was easy and fast, and the front desk was helpful. The room itself is another story. There was mold and dirt on the corners of the floor. There was even trash near the bed, which indicated it wasn't cleaned properly. The fridge contained a lock, and a random door was hidden behind a curtain. If it weren't for the fact that paying for a stay here is necessary to access the club and that we returned to our room exceptionally late into the night, I would have stayed elsewhere. I had high hopes for the hotel considering its affiliation with the Magic Castle. read more

The ladies who checked us in went above and beyond! You always get a champagne toast upon check in which is a nice touch but we were talking to them about how we were road trippin from Vegas for a concert at the bowl. When we got back to the hotel after the show they left a bucket of snacks with little Vegas cutouts and handmade road trip games like finish the lyrics to songs by the artist we saw and road trip bingo!
