Spaces - Hollywood Entertainment & Production Center - Hollywood, California

Stay far, FAR away from SPACES Hollywood. I signed up for a month-to-month dedicated desk. On day ONE, several items were stolen from my desk (I'm pretty sure by the staff, since I shared a locked office with a few great people). I was never reimbursed for the items, and later found out that every single other person in my office regularly had items stolen.

If that wasn't bad enough, SPACES added random charges to my account (like unlimited coffee, even though I never once used their coffee machine). When I flagged this to reception, they said they would reimburse my account but never did.

When I finally decided to cancel and switch to a different co-working space, they never processed the cancellation, and continued charging me for THREE MONTHS after I canceled. I called reception multiples times, and they kept saying 'yeah we're working on issuing you a refund for those months' but never did. I'm now going through the annoying process of contesting the charges with my CC company. Seriously, this place is a total scam. Stay away!!!

EDIT 6/27: Five months after I canceled my membership, and two months after reporting Spaces to the Better Business Bureau, the company is FINALLY honoring my initial cancellation. But OF COURSE they're still trying to scam me - tacking on a $45 'cancellation fee' before I can get a refund. This place is truly the most sinister, scammy business I've ever encountered. DO NOT TRUST THEM!

Without a doubt, SPACES Hollywood ranks as one of the worst possible choices for office space. The primary issues are not just with the property itself, but rather the staff and organizational policies. Anaisa Avila, who labels herself a community manager, appears more focused on filling vacant offices and making commission than on offering quality service. She is known for delaying responses, especially as you approach the automatic lease renewal date, and once your lease is auto-renewed, they hold you to it without a shred of remorse.

Security, or the lack thereof, poses a serious concern. I was robbed of over $10,000 worth of goods, and SPACES took no responsibility for the loss. Luckily, I had additional insurance to cover the financial setback. The thief managed to infiltrate the building on three consecutive days, spotlighting the management's shocking negligence.

Adding to the list of grievances, the office space frequently experiences lengthy internet outages, sometimes lasting as long as a week, making the workspace virtually useless. Don't anticipate any form of compensation for these disruptions; their support is nonexistent on that front.

Pricing is another murky area. In calling other SPACES locations, I discovered that the rates can vary significantly, pointing to inconsistent pricing policies. The Hollywood location, in particular, seems to be managed by individuals better suited for running a pricing scam than a professional office space.

The parking lot is not a haven of safety, either; muggings have occurred. The neighborhood is rife with danger, teeming with homeless encampments and dubious characters. A notorious drug hotel next door exacerbates the unsafe environment; it's not uncommon to see body bags being carried out.

Given these myriad issues, I can no longer justify staying in this space and strongly urge you to consider other options.

AVOID!! I signed up for a membership as near my new house and went to start but left after a few hours as it was the worst working experience anyone can imagine. They have a childrens casting agency working from the space so for the 3 hours I was there, I had the pleasure of screaming children running around, parents loudly talking at their kids, and toddlers walking around me as I was taking zoom calls. I came for a peaceful work environment and would have been better off at a coffee shop. To make matters even worse, they are STILL charing me after I cancelled 2 months ago and keep taking $199 a month from my amex which I cant remove from the site- such a scam!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I urge anyone considering this location to think twice and thoroughly scrutinize every clause in their lease agreement, especially concerning the auto-renewal process. My experience, regrettably, aligns with a pattern of deceitful practices that others have warned about in past reviews.

The handling of lease terms at this establishment is not just negligent; it’s blatantly misleading. Clear, upfront communication about the auto-renewal terms was non-existent. Despite providing over three months' notice to cancel my lease, my efforts were disregarded, reflecting a disturbing lack of transparency and integrity from the management.

The most egregious issue arose at the auto-renewal stage—a staggering price hike of over 30% from the original contract was sprung on me, without any prior notification. This practice feels less like a business operation and more like a deliberate trap to ensnare tenants into unwelcome commitments and financial burdens.

This isn't just about poor customer service; it's about ethical business conduct, which this location grossly fails to meet. Prospective tenants deserve transparency and fairness, not covert terms and surprise costs. Be wary and demand explicit, written explanations for all terms, especially auto-renewals and associated fees, to avoid becoming another victim of these exploitative practices.

We've had offices here since 2019 and absolutely love it! The facility is gorgeous, the rooftop is a great escape, and the location is perfect. But what makes this place special - is the staff! They've made us feel like family from day one. They're always available, super accommodating, quick to respond, and most of all - always smiling! They also have yummy treats 🙂

I'm so grateful a friend recommended Spaces to me as a co-working option. I more even more delighted with how friendly the sales team was and the reception staff goes beyond expectation! Pam, Darius, and Anaisa are my new work besties and I look forward to seeing their smiling faces every time I come to the office. The facilities are beautiful & clean and I highly recommend this location.

Amazing staff and the center is absolutely gorgeous! Pam and Darius really are the greatest reception team! They will go above and beyond to help you in all your needs. The amenities that come with a lounge membership are phenomenal ! I’m never leaving this space.
