In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Unmatched city views — Guests repeatedly mention the spectacular skyline views from rooms on upper floors, the club lounge, and even from the breakfast area.
- Excellent location — Right next to the Staples Center, close to the Metro Rail, and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Opera House.
- Highly rated staff — Guests describe the staff as friendly, helpful, and genuinely hospitable, often going out of their way to accommodate needs.
- Impressive breakfast — The breakfast is described as delicious with a wide range of options, served in a restaurant with a great view.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Service can be hit or miss — While many reviews praise the staff, the lowest rating category is 'Price and service' at 7, suggesting that some guests may find the service inconsistent relative to the price.
- Elevator system can be confusing — At least one guest noted a 'weird elevator system' that took some getting used to, which is common in very tall buildings with transfer floors.
- Price point is high — With rates starting at £377 per night, this is a premium property, and the value-for-money depends on how much you prioritise the views and location.
