Romantic Hotels in California, United States

"We had an excellent experience. The staff was friendly and attentive. Beautiful lobby and excellent room. Will definitely refer friends and family. "

"This hotel is in a great location in Downtown LA. From LAX, I took the FlyAway bus ($12.75) and then two subway stops ($1.75, flat fare) to Pershing Square, and it was just across the street. There's a paid outdoor parking lot opposite the hotel (I don't recommend renting a car in LA – traffic can be bad, parking is expensive, and California gas prices are high, around $2/liter. Public transport is only $1.75 per ride, with a $5 daily cap, and a $20 refill on a Tap Card is usually enough to get around LA). Safety-wise, I'd say it's decent. It's in a transitional area between the more dangerous Skid Row and the safer Financial District in DTLA. I'd advise against coming back too late or wandering around at night. If you do come back late, it's best to take an Uber. If you're walking, try not to stare at the homeless, and don't engage if they talk to you. The hotel has a live front desk and security. You need to use your key card to enter after 6 PM and also to use the elevator. It feels very safe during the day, so you can confidently go out and explore. Theft and robbery aren't as prevalent in the US as some might think; you'll see plenty of people playing on their phones while waiting at traffic lights, and people carry their backpacks normally. The hotel rooms, while not huge, have distinctive lighting. There's a tablet by the bed that allows you to activate a 'sleep mode' with one tap, and you can control the lights and TV channels through it, which is very cozy and comfortable. However, there's no kettle for hot water. For someone like me who likes hot drinks, you can go to the bar on the first floor and ask the staff for hot water for free. They also have various free tea bags. Coffee and alcoholic drinks are extra, though. If you don't feel like going out at night, ordering a drink and chatting with an American is a great way to experience the nightlife – Americans are really good conversationalists!"

"Wonderful breakfast bar. Located near Pacific coast. Very friendly staff."

"The hotel is old and appears renovated at some point but perhaps not by contractors experienced in finish work. Overall, nice stay because we made it a nice stay for us. DO NOT PAY FOR THE BREAKFAST. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. Floors were squeaky so we heard walking until wee hours of the morning. Choose a top floor if you can. Cleaning crews were noisy in the morning right outside our door so don't count in sleeping in pass 9:00 AM. Toilet was loose and rocked as you sit. Shower and sink had mold in the grout joints giving the impression of unsanitized although the smell of bleach upon arrival was quite strong. Our window had wood rot and the crank was broken so the window could only be pushed or pulled open by the muntins. Hotel was a bit pricey for what you get but this is a tourist destination so expect mediocre for high price."

"We stayed for 1 night on our way to SF. The fare was great among hotels in Bay Area and not far. Plenty of parking spots and have everything we need."

"The town is beautiful, but the accommodation experience at this hotel is really bad. I was arranged in the room above the lobby. The soundproofing was so bad that anyone could hear the speech in the lobby, and even the sound of the parking lot would come in. It was quiet from 12 o'clock in the middle of the night to 4 o'clock in the morning. At 4 o'clock, I was awakened by the voice outside, and I couldn't sleep well. It feels like living in someone else's house, very uncomfortable. This stay experience is not recommended."

"Everything was good except the fact of someone pounding on my door at 1:00am then they took off! It was ridiculously unacceptable as they think it’s funny! Other then that, the view of the beach from our room was spectacular. Well worth the cost. Checking in/out was quick and easy."

"Beautiful garden with lights at night, decent breakfast Spacious room and comfy bed We had a good rest Recommended for short stay Location along the way to Yosemite ( stay one night) Parking area provided for free"

"Visited LA for the Auto Show at the Convention Center. This hotel was perfect as it was just across the street from the Center. The view from our room was great, the room was a bit compact but good enough. Comfy beds, strong shower head, and great breakfast buffet on the 34th floor. They had Happy Hour at the Bar Moxy on the main level, decent burger and chicken wings. The service could've been a bit more friendlier and attentive instead of us asking when we needed something. Nonetheless I would definitely consider staying here again for another event at the Center."
