Where Should I Stay NEXT . . . Let Me Know Below 👇
Orient Express, Raffles Singapore, Fullerton Bay Singapore, Alohilani Waikiki, One of Messi's hotels, hotel on Amalfi coast, St Moritz, glamping in Cornwall, a working farm
the Hotel du Pont in Wilm de.
Celtic manor in south wales
Some Irish or/and Scottish hotels would be great. I remember you doing the Virgin hotel in Edinburgh, it was awesome. Or some luxurious train. I love those.

Heh heh heh!
😅
😅😅😅 BRILLIANT 😅😅😅
I've watched most of your videos now but wanted to just say thanks so much for not having music over your talking. Feels much more like proper telly.
not sure what u mean i only use music sometimes for an intro ;-)
@@WalkWithMeTim That's what I mean. Intro music is fine. I absolutely hate it (to the point of turning vids off) when they have music playing at the same time as talking throughout the vid. Sometimes it's not even background and I can barely hear their voices over it. I'm not hard of hearing either. Netflix docs are the worst for that but a lot of TH-camrs do it too.
Sooo agree with you, I hate it when youtubers either delete audio from the camera, or lower and add in a background music.
This is such an insult to Marylin's legacy - old withered sofas and chairs, a plain looking bathroom.
I would have expected something much more glamorous.
Have to agree
Yet, could those be the original furnishings in Marilyn's suite? If so, I say, by all means keep them as so much else has changed. Leather can be refurbished. In general, what people think of as "Hollywood" is fake today and only maintained to trap tourists into coming around and spending money. I lived in LA many years ago and it was fake back then. Oh, well, the old dream is fun.
@@omanicc9854 I noticed the shower didn’t even have any kind of tile. It just looked like painted drywall.
Sorry Tim it's a great video, but all I can think about is spending over $1000 for a hotel room and the water is still $11!!!! These places should be ashamed!
I'm sorry but for the rates you're paying, you need to get housekeeping managers involved and/or hotel managers to address some of these issues. Especially like not being able to get TV to work, no sugar/creamer, etc. Those are basic items! I hope you note the wear and overall uncleanliness on your online review. Love ❤ your channel though. 🎉🇺🇸🇬🇧👋😎🛌🏊🥓🍳🍾🥂
I really appreciate the extra exploring and walking around you've been doing in your recent videos Tim. Makes us feel like we're there with you and experience it with you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😉
It seems that anyone and everyone from Hollywood's golden age once stayed at this hotel. Looking forward to this one.
Very true
Included me twice. Not the best hotel but it has some history. I stayed on the back of the hotel looking towards Santa Monica blv the view was better the front which only has Man chinese Theatre.
Excellent review Tim...that's great they let you check out the rooftop.
Have you gotten to try out In-n-out burger while in California? Quite popular but people seem to love it or hate it. The fries are the weak point even though they are made fresh.
Tim:
I’m so appreciative for what you do for all avid cruisers, who due to not having funds for high end cruise ships/cabins, make us feel we are right there with you in these fantastic tours.
Not sure what u mean as I'm yet to do a cruise
The dark brown framed mirror halfway up the staircase is, in fact, the Marylin Monroe Mirror.
@@dorisschneider-coutandin9965 I got creepy vibes from it 😳
Dude. Pinks? Next time wander down Hollywood Blvd & get a martini at Musso & Frank. Also, you missed the small hidden bar behind the lobby bar in the hotel. And did you notice the hotel pool was painted by one of your own? British artist David Hockney. I love the Roosevelt, BTW. And enjoy your videos as well!
I, too, was shocked they didn't let him know about the hidden bar.
That place hasn't changed since I was there 20 years ago.
If Marilyns ghost was there...would it say BOO....BOO BOO Bi Doo?
😂😂
I heard her sing-song that when I read it lol.
😂
👻👻👻
Or Diamonds Are A Ghouls Best Friend.
FYI, when Johnny Depp and Nic Cage were first starting in the biz, they were mostly broke and went to Pink's because back in the 80's the hotdogs were around 25 cents. That was all they could afford back then.
Nic Cage was born in Hollywood to a lawyer and doctor. I'm pretty sure he could afford a hot dog.

Thanks Tim. Please bring the black light for every room review. Can’t wait to see your reaction when a room lights up like P Diddy just had a party there.
🙈🙈🙈🤣
@@spanishdncr71🤮
😂😂
😛
For $857 a night the furnishings in the room should’ve been better quality
Parking should be free or included! Crazy !
@@irenedavo3768You pay for everything these days. It’s a wonder they don’t charge you for the air that you breathe.
Ya think??? 😂😂😂
thank you so for for the premiere!
why wife and I spent out honeymoon night at the the Hotel du Pont in Wilmington delaware. it's very old and historic, but the elegance of the hotel interior is absolutely incredible
All these "haunted" rumours were probably started by the owner of the hotel to keep the punters coming. I'm surprised they didn't send a Marilyn Monroe lookalike dressed in white and smelling of Chanel No5 (Marilyn's favourite) in your room while you were sleeping
then suddenly shooting out of the door. 11:30 I can't think of a more powerful endorsement for that place than Scobby Doo. I honestly would love to stay at that hotel, and the Marilyn suite in particular.
😂😂
Price of car park is crazy! Should be free!
I worked for a catering company ( Patinas) that used The Roosevelt for a lot of large events like weddings, corporate events and parties and such. This was around 2001, 2002 and I remember the hotel was either under renovation or just closed for extensive repairs. It was in the main hall / the old part of the hotel. There was a large restroom with a row of about 15 sinks. The event was at night and it was late. A friend and I were working there for that event. He went to use the restroom and when he entered, all of the faucets started running. These are the old sinks with the two faucets. They were all running full speed when he entered. He ran out and told us. I came up and they were all running. We just left. It was indeed a creepy building to work in, especially late at night when the events would take place. You could just feel the weirdness all around the old part of the building. I don’t remember seeing the new parts. Mind you, this is over 24 years old. Most of the hotels I worked in around the Los Angeles area were just as old and just as creepy. I can’t prove it was haunted. I never took a job at that venue again. You have to go to Tommy’s Burgers and not Pinks for goodness sakes! You are a burger man and your life won’t be the same after you have had one bacon cheeseburger at Tommy’s. There is one on Sunset Blvd.
@@charlaperry6291 I personally wouldn't be put of by a supposedly haunted hotel, I might see it as a challenge. I neither believe or disbelieve in ghosts. As for hot dogs, in my 12 trips to the US I've only eaten it twice, once in New York, and the other in Dallas. Tommy's Burgers? Aren't they a chain.
@@charlaperry6291 I went to Tommy's and In n Out on Sunset the other week. I found both to be nice, but hugely overhyped. The best burger I had in LA was the Super Mario burger in Nintendo World at Universal Studios lol
Bless Tim. You always book the best suits and they are always hidden away in some odd add on building at the back, rather then in the historic pretty building
Yes! I’ve only ever briefly been in the front lobby back in maybe 2011. I love the Mid Century Modern “updates” from the time combined with some of the modern contemporary touches all not interfering with the original original 1927 grandeur from the likes of the front entrance.
Being in the heart of Hollywood Blvd, it makes sense why all the special rooms have locked doors. Which really is unfortunate. Though, I don’t know if anyone can just enter the front doors like we used to be able to?
I’m blessed to get Pink’s when the Orange County Fair comes around. That way I don’t have to go to L.A. every time I want not just any hot dog…but an iconic hot dog. Pink’s really is The Most!
Bro can never get the TV's to turn on lmao
Isn't that a mirror...??
@@Anom-vd4kn he's probably joking with us. If he were to turn on the TVs that'll subject him to getting a copyright strike, and so he's acting like he can't turn the TV on to avoid getting accidentally disciplined.
Such a huge amount to stay in a 4 star hotel..... That creepy sound when you opened the door of the suite lol......And again no complementary drinks , Dirty Sofa and chairs with multiple scratches on them, basic looking Bathroom..... It's a historic hotel but In my opinion the amounts they charged for the suite as well as for the parking are too much lol.....
ROOM 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel in New York City, or the SHINING, Timberline Lodge, Mount Hood, Oregon, room 237
Yes.
That Couch looks filthy, not impressed 😢
Have you ever been to Hollywood? That sofa is a pretty good representation of the entire filthy city. Most of it is pretty disgusting.
😮😬
Hi Tim. Come to Canada! The railroad company built grand hotels across Canada from The late 1880’s into the early 1900’s. Try the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, The Royal York in Toronto or the Banff Springs in Alberta.
I vote for Banff Springs.
14.15 - reminds me more of The Gold Room in the Overlook hotel from The Shining. Even the bar where 'Lloyd' serves Jack Torrance is there 😮
There is a hotel I believe that was used as inspiration but I just can’t remember which one. Would be a great location for Tim to try though…..
Hello Tim this is John from Indiana I love watching your shows buddy
This is probably my favorite video so far! I saw places close up I've only read about all my
(rather long) life....and those wonderful hand and footprints! I had to keep stopping the action so I could gaze at those iconic names the current generation has never heard of...Jimmy Stewart, Margaret O'Brian, Gene Autry and Champ! It was a fabulous experience and thank you very much!
I stayed in L.A for a month in 2019. I remember walking past this hotel and thinking how grand it looked! I loved Los Angeles in general, it’s like you’re on a different planet!
For that price, to bring it more alive, they should've had that room recreated to look exactly like it did when Marilyn stayed there. 🕶 💋
That's what I was expecting in the first place.
I would rather watch your content then anything coming out of Hollywood!
means alot
Tm , I have enjoyed your videos for a few years; and still do !
Mrs tightwad here. Thankyou Tim i really enjoyed seeing this hotel, but very expensive with the naff furniture, Nope wouldnt stay here , but i did enjoy seeing the suite and hotel
I was there years ago. Seems to be quite the same.
Yes, that creepy vibe with the music playing in empty rooms.
(BTW~ Coffee grounds in the room are sometimes used to overcome dank smells in hospitals.)
Probably the dead body smell.
For the condition of the furniture, I would have gladly helped myself to the mini-bar and when the bill came I would have said, "I didn't eat all that!" "It must have been Marilyn's ghost!"
😀
Hi there I live in Hollywood and something you might like to know is that the big room that reminded you of the haunted castle was actually where the very first Academy award ceremony was held
Must say, you are a saint when it comes to putting up with worn dirty suites on your travels, I would have flipped out at the prices you pay and demanded a new room or upgrade
Tim got the special celebrity treatment with access to special areas! 😊
How sad the furniture looks. The owner definitely needs to spend a few bucks and upgrade
I wonder if it was the original furnishings in the room? If so, they should be kept, but the white leather re-furbished.
Thank you so much for taking us with you !!!
I went and watched some random movie at Mann's Chinese Theater when visiting LA in 2003. Stayed within walking distance from there as well, I was at The Magic Castle Hotel right next to the Magic Castle which is exclusive only for magicians and illusionists by invitation only or something. Saw some rather fancy limos come and go there.
I really didn't bother with celebrities much or any while in LA. I was there to meet a singer (it was a trip I had won through a magazine) and also randomly got to meet a popular Swedish band that happened to be in San Diego on their first US tour at the time (so we took a roadtrip to see them, so the guy from the magazine could get an interview with them) I was in their tour bus, seeing fans outside, earlier in the day, before the gig, I had been chitchatting with the band. When meeting the singer I was there to see, we chitchatted like a couple of peers.
Jack Osborne walked right past me at LAX and I didn't even look up or bat an eye.
I'm just pretty unphased when it comes to celebrities. They're people just like us, even though with some these days you can question how much person is left, or if they're more plastic than human...
LA, and Hollywood and Beverly Hills in particular, is just so full of celebrities of different levels of fame, it's honestly kinda hard to not see at least one
John Chambers earned his Walk of Fame star. He was a makeup artist who created Spock's ears and the Planet of the Apes prosthetics. Also made disguises for the CIA!
Crowne Plaza Union Station..they have Pullman train cars for your stay..I would love it!
I agree about the Bathroom, it seems very plain and Manly, - considering it’s the Marilyn Monroe Suite.
As you mentioned Monroes reflection in the mirror, I got the shivers. Great video Tim, quite brave staying in that room!
Stay in Laguna Beach at the Laguna Beach Hotel..right on the beach..1920's famouse spot for Hollywood's elite.😊
Wow, that was really cool you got to stay in Marilyn’s room! I really liked the intimate feel of the hotel. Almost like a boutique hotel, cool tiles & unique old ceilings. Some things you can’t put a price on. But, your credit card has to go through in the end, lol! 😂
Cheers to Marilyn, a beauty & gentle spirit gone too soon. 🥂
First time I’ve ever actually wanted to visit one of the hotels you’ve visited.
$120 occupancy tax !!! surely they should just call it 'extorsion tax' and have done with it !! now if only those walls could talk in Marylin's room !!!
Tim I thought you were going to say you could smell a musty smell in the room when you entered, Very impressed with the hotel and of course the Marilyn Monroe Suite but also agree with your opinion of the sofa, needs replacing really. Thanks for showing us some of the sights in Hollywood and thanks for another enjoyable video Tim 😊
Ohh how cool!!! Your at Pinks! Nice!! Enjoy your stay. Im like 30mins or so from where you are.
Debi 🙋♀️ in SCV😊
Aaand that Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on corner is best coffee EVER. Sat on outside counter with my son and watched crowds go by. Good stuff Tim. 👍
yes i never had tried coffee bean before better than starbucks!
@@WalkWithMeTim yay a new cbtl convert! welcome to the purple straw club haha
Great video! Thank you for showing us these iconic hotels.
I stayed there many times. It’s my favorite hotel . During the pandemic they had room rates for $150. That’s as a great deal .
im devastated every time they dont give you a complimentary snack/drink when you check in 😔
Did think you was going to say a smell of perfume not coffee 😂
Thanks for the memories, Tim i stayed there about 25 years ago,, long before mobile phone cameras,, nice to see my memories freshened up,, thank you
"The number of people who have.... BEEN.... on this couch." Stay away from it with the black light!
When you were saying all the famous people who had stayed there, hubby (one of your patreons) says " and now Walk with me Tim"! Up there with the stars, Tim.
no way is that room worth that money and the extra taxes are just a very bad joke.
Have stayed here twice, and loved the room, location and staff.
Everybody's a hero and Everybody's a star and Everybody's in movies it doesn't matter who you are , for there are stars in every city in every house and in every street and if you walk down Hollywood Blvd there names are written in concrete
This is the most beautiful hotel I've ever seen! Very early 1960s...landmark 🎉
For that sort of price, you’d want the sofa fixed and the tv to work. Sadly living off the fact that someone stayed there 50 years ago!
Loved the video though!
Try 76 years. Marilyn stayed there from 1948 to 1950 before she became famous, while she was in her "modeling "stage.
Monroe was long dead 50 years ago!
Thought you were going to say …. I can smell Chanel no. 5 😊I love Marilyn Monroe ❤named my tiny little dog after her ! 😊-loved it thanks Tim don’t think I’ll ever get there ! Xx 💋
It’s Marilyn’s mirror. I would love to stay at the HR… The condition of the seats, couch and fridge are not good enough for a hotel of this prestige. MM room needs to be cherished. Disappointing for the money you pay for to stay in it.
Should be free mini bar. 🎉
Great vlog Tim, walking in the footsteps of the rich and famous on the pavement, love it. Thanks take care 😊xxx
The guy sitting on the kerb seemed unhinged.
You are a very rich and charming man!
Although I don’t know which country you are from, I am still very happy to discover this channel!
You did a really great job, thanks a lot for sharing! 👍🥰🙏
England 🏴
Yes. That hollister shirt is mint for sure too. Nice 👍
@@irenedavo3768 Thanks a lot for letting me know, you are very nice!
I thought the main room for lounging was stunning and yes it did look like a film set 🥳
Thanks Tim 🎉❤
Funny to say, but it seems like they try to keep the Marilyn Monroe suite authentic. Which would mean that it's up to the specs and luxury of the 50's. Which would also mean that it's kept in the old times. So maybe other suites would be more luxurious than this one for a lower price. Booking this one, you will spend more, but you will get less than other luxury suites. Just for the nostalgia...
Loving your videos Tim. Keep up the good work ❤
Thanks so much
Do American Hotels actually take a good look at the furnishings in their rooms ?
No. Not a one. Not one of the 166,000+ hotels across the country do.
Loved that pink hotel 😂. A hot dog hotel of all things
Have you been to Britannia Hotels?
A lot of hotels
Very cool vlog......M.Monroe's suite, OMG.
I would say mostly authentic stuff, so you couldn't change the sofa,
I mean she sat on that Tim.
The price was good too.....there must be a waiting list surely.
To me this is one the best places you've stayed.....so historic.
Great vlog mate, all the best. 😎☯️🌱
They might not be able to change the sofa but at least they can clean it with leather cleaner.......If it is leather..... 😅😅😅.
Tim thought you might smell Chanel No. 5😂
Hi hope you enjoy your stay in LA. Wonderful video as always! Best wishes to yourself and your family- Happy travels!
Thanks
Tim , the shower 6 ? If im there go for 4 im a big gal 😮😂😂
Love your videos Tim .Thank you very much indeed for showing me the places I’ve so much wanted to visit but haven’t been able to do so
Exited to watch, tim!
hope you enjoyed :-)
14.25 minutes in reminded me of the hotel in The Shining 🤣 Great review Timbo. Tracey 🇦🇺🥂❤️😘😎
Definately a 50/60s US hotel vibe, lol. Great video again though :)
Hotel Del Coronado in SanDiego. Very beautiful, expensive, historic
Hello Tim! Love your videos !
Hey, thanks!
Nice go of it. Great room. Nice pool 🐾🍀
Shocking!
Hi tim it's Sunday evening just watched your video and that Marilyn mornoe suite you stayed in looked cool can't wait to watch your next video love from Michelle in Nottingham 😊😅😂❤❤❤
Tim , next time just call housekeeping for milk and sugar 😊
I wouldn't be able to sleep. I'd be thinking the Tv's gonna fall on me in the middle of the night!
Maybe Diddy punched the fridge 😂😂😂😂
Cheers Tim, enjoyed that. Marilyn, actually had her FIRST ever professional photo shoot by the hotel’s pool. The mural on the pool’s floor, was painted by famous British artist David Hockney. We stayed there in 2007, and it appears to have changed little in that time, other than they’ve removed the Hollywood wording on the sign. My late Mother, reckoned that the hotel was dimly lit, to allow clandestine meetings amongst the rich and famous. 👍🏼
I've stayed there 8 years ago and I would never go back . However , as an experience , it is ok .
I stayed there in the early 1980's and it was very scruffy and basic. I read, quite aa few years ago that it had had a makeover and it seems as though it is not much better. I understood that the hotel goes back to the 1920's when it was supposed to be glamorous. It was a big disappointment to me on holiday.
Missing your family vacations Tim! Please do a Halloween spooky themed hotel with Casper!!
Yes, the Hocus Pocus one in England was a gas! Especially with the Harry Potter lane down the street, how fun! 👻
I love historic hotels and I try to stay in as many as I can. I am thankful that I found your channel because now I can see a “review” on some of these and decide if it’s a place that’s worth the price tag for myself as well.
Perhaps you should have downloaded one of those ghost detector apps on your phone Tim.
14:15 definitely the shining vibes
Just a fun fact that I just looked up, Marilyn Monroe did like her coffee. She was also a big gardener & loved her plants. Kinda spooky with the coffee smell & the plant piece falling down😊
ok spooky! it was very strong and was right near her bed!
I was in Hollywood, Ireland this summer. They have a Hollywood sign in the hills above the town. The story is that a man from Hollywood, Ireland moved to California around 1850 and that is where the name Hollywood came about.
Beverly Hills California is named after Beverly, Massachusetts. Near Salem!
Evian......spell it backwards 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember the good old days you would do videos on stuff the average Jo could afford. Isn't a dig I understand theres a new market but it's the average places that got me watching your channel
"Tourism fee" - love it, anything to generate more income! I thought this hotel was better than the Beverley Wilshire one, as it appeared to have a more relaxed and less "up itself" vibe.
Yet l bet you will pay the $40-$50 resort fee in Las Vegas and not bat an eye. The tourism fee is $2.57
@@jimtuttle7864 no actually I wouldn't and that's at the very top end in Vegas. There are still hotels in Vegas that don't charge resort fees.
The Hollywood Tower of Terror Disney ride (which sadly has been modified and the haunted hotel theme is gone) was actually based on the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. If you haven't already, you should definitely check it out. The pool at the Biltmore is absolutely stunning - totally like a Hollywood movie set. The Marilyn Monroe suite at the Roosevelt is certainly a bit of a disappointment quality wise and no, I would not pay that kind of money for it lol! Chateau Marmont is another spooky celebrity hideaway worth checking out - also pricey. Great video Tim - thank you!
They are taking the Micky on that price especially when the furniture is really damaged and should be on a skip I have thrown better sofas away tbh.
It didn't really feel very Marilyn Monroe to me I think they should add some Marilyn touches to the room.
As always a great video 😊
Yes, I would say it is worth it. Beautiful hotel! thank you for all of your videos.
