3-Star Hotels in Los Angeles

The room was tidy and clean. It was also spatious. There was enough space for my two big pieces of luggage. The shuttle service is also good. Overall it was a comfortable stay.

The beds are smaller than expected but overall I am satisfied with the hotel. The staffs are friendly and we checked in really fast. The hotel is near Little Tokyo and some bus stations. Will book again in the future!!

When I booked, they had no hot water in the entire building and it was cold cold. They promised to give me some of the money back but I’m yet to get it. It’s the first time for me at a hotel that didn’t provide basic things like toothbrush or comb etc. it’s a little outdated too

Stayed for 3 nights visiting LA from Australia. Was happy with room size, bed sheets were too small for the bed and kept coming off & found scales next to the mattress. Great sized shower, just found it took a while for the water to heat up. Breakfast was only yogurt, bread, muffins and a small range of fruit. Room was quiet, not much to do in downtown LA if you are a tourist so we booked a few nights in Hollywood.

Feeling good at check-in, it was a big setback through Ctrip booking fee. I will stay at the hotel next time, I hope it is not as difficult to book as this time

I was disappointed at my 1-week stay. I was given room 621 as I reserved a deluxe room which guarantees a room above Level 5. Despite them not full at the time of my visit, they gave me this room which faces a multi storey carpark. I had to draw the curtain the whole time to avoid being viewed from the carpark. The aircon in this room was the noisiest I had ever experienced in any hotels. Pls send someone to the room and wait for it to turn on and off by itself and feel the difference in the noise level. It was still possible to sleep if the noise was constant but the fact that the aircon generates huge noise each time it turns itself on and stays quiet when it is off automatically to adjust the temperature makes it impossible to use the aircon at night. Also check how much dust was accumulated on the aircon. It seemed to me that the aircon had not been serviced for an extended period of time. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable. They gave three non-standard (small) pillows per bed and they were too high and not soft. The bed was also uncomfortable. I sinked in the mattress despite me being less than 50kg. I had a hard time sleeping every night because of this (and the aircon problem.) There is something looking like a phone charger (as part of the alarm clock) on the bedside table. However, it seems to fit only very old iphone models (iphone 4 maybe.) There are no USB A or USB C chargers near the bed. I had to use the sockets on the desk (and my adaptor) to charge my phone which was inconvenient. On a positive note, the room was clean. Housekeeping staff occasionally forgot to replenish bathroom amenities and (chargeable) bottled water but it was not a problem for me.

This is a new hotel and is beautifully appointed. Nice decor, pretty roof top restaurant and bar with pool and jacuzzi. The staff were very helpful. The only thing is they only clean your room every 3 days but not a big deal really. Many hotels don't have daily service anymore. I will stay there again.

This hotel is just old- not old and ”quaint” or ”charming”. Except maybe the lobby. Yes- the bones and the original architecture are lovely. Until you look closely. You can see where the old original walls were and where they've chipped away to open it up. The original doors in the rooms would be beautiful had they been taken care of. You can see the wood-color caulk/fill over nails that no one has ever bothered to stain over. You can see where the old handle/lock plates were- no one has bothered to blend them. The original vent in the shower is caked and gross. The furniture is worn and and scratched up. And no- not in a cool, ”rustic” way, just plain worn out. This is what I can't forgive. You can only throw so many layers or paint or caulk or work at old walls or floors etc. But you can certainly replace aging furniture. Between the old, musty smell and the overall poor condition I kept shoes or socks on when in the room. If you are lackluster about taking care of the hard surfaces- what's lurking in that area rug? Just felt ”ick” overall. The amount of money I paid to say here was pretty upsetting. The staff barely cracked a smile at check-in. He just took my ID and started typing. It took a really long time during which he pretty much never spoke- just stared at the screen while we stood there. He smiled when he handed us the keys- and that was it. The other person was the same to the couple next to us. What's funny was some of the other staff was buzzing around and seemed happy and (possibly?) helpful- put some of those people at your desk. No coffee in the room; tea and kettle only. No coffee in the lobby either. You have to go to their hotel restaurant. There is no luggage rack. I wound up putting my suitcase on the long counter where the tea/glasses were. (Shown in the photo). There is a mini-fridge. We did not look at it. The parking is not covered and caddy-corner to the hotel. It does have an attendant. I am adding this because I couldn't find this info. on their website. And they place their Normandie sign inside the lot by the valet tent. Common sense would dictate you put it at the street; not inside the lot. I will say that the beds were comfortable and the linens were very clean. (Never so excited about the smell of bleach.) The bathroom was clean but the surfaces are old- again you can only clean them, caulk, paint in so many layers. The tub and shower fixtures were worn and chipped. At some point you need to replace old and busted with new fixtures that match the period structure. With the price point of this hotel I shouldn't have to second guess taking a shower. We stayed here to be within walking distance to the Wiltern. We would not stay again. Don't get fooled by the glossy marketing photos. I really don't understand the high reviews. I've stayed in many a small, older hotel where you can appreciate the fine details. Even if not perfect they felt cared for. Age is no excuse for worn out furnishings, smel

This was our first Hollywood/ LA visit. The hotel was everything I could have asked for. Clean, quiet rooms, friendly staff and great safe location! Our room was so spacious, great storage and a little fridge which was great for storing water/breakfast etc. The cleaners do an EXCELLENT job!! Reception staff are also great, always greeted with a welcoming and friendly hello when we had returned each day, and especially helpful when we had enquired about public transport/ things to do etc. Thank you again for such an enjoyable stay and I will defo be returning if I chose Hollywood for vacation in the future!! (My only regret is not eating in the restaurant in the hotel!! On our last night, we went in for a drink each and it looked amazing).

Staff were fantastic. Room was dated but good for the price. Pool is fantastic!! Always places to sit and relax, water is clean and great facilities. Only disappointing thing was the wifi, it worked well for the first two days, then dropped out entirely. On the odd occasion we were able to use it (by the pool or at the front near reception) it would disconnect every 15 seconds. Couldn’t use it at all in our room for the last two days which was disappointing as our phones use a different network so wifi was our only option to be able to communicate etc. staff tried to assist but nothing worked. Starbucks almost directly across the street (free wifi) and a Ralph’s for groceries etc. short cab ride or Uber to the main part of the boulevard ($11ish) and about $20 to Universal studios. Great little place, will definitely stay again!
