Uptown Design District Holidays from AU$1,991

The hotel itself is quaint. Very high-end feel when you walk in. The staff was friendly enough. The waitstaff in the restaurant was stellar. Nice pool area. Had a very backyard feel to it. It was very clean. The gym was adequate. They definitely try with it. They even offer complimentary water bottles in the mini refrigerator. The gym had a very “working out in someone’s basement” feel to it as you WERE working out in the basement. The negatives were: They make you pay a resort fee which you are forced to use there at the restaurant or you lose the money. They also charge a $150 PER NIGHT deposit which I have NEVER heard of! Hotels that charge deposits usually charge a one time flat fee. Right off the bat, they put a SEVERAL HUNDRED dollar hold on my card I hadn’t planned on which made my trip a little more frugal than I would have liked. Also, the rooms are very nice but they have leather furniture in them that was starting to look a little shabby in my opinion. Overall it was a decent hotel for a couple of night’s stay.

Unfortunately, there is a combination of issues that happened all the same time. Early morning, fire alarm, dogs barking incessantly, Wi-Fi Was poor. We got through it all, but it is a top Hotel. Staff was amazing and very accommodating

Construction around the hotel

The Spanish older gentleman that ran the valet was one of the nicest people I met on my 10 day vacation, along with all the other staff. Will definitely be staying again next time I'm in LA

Lovely spot in the heart of Hollywood. Nice comfy bed and xlnt bathroom. Only thing I would like to add is there was no seating in the room. Just an office chair. When friend came by had to sit on the bed. Would have been nice to have complimentary water in the room. Lobby facilities very nice with complimentary coffee in the AM plus water.
