Loews Hollywood Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was excellent (the staff, locations and etc.)! The hotel just needs to be updated a bit!"

Hotel Burbank

10/10 Excellent

"I loved how close it was to Burbank airport and the airport shuttle was a great amenity. The staff was great, the place was big and clean. The restaurant was really good ate breakfast & dinner. I did not get to use the pool but would have if I had more time. Definitely recommend and will be returning soon. "

Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza

8/10 Good

"We stayed 2 nights at the Omni. Staff was very helpful. Even though we didn't use the valet parking service, the staff still offered to help us get our luggage out of our car. Checkin was fast and friendly. The location was a nicer part of DTLA so we felt safe. The room was comfortable, but it was clear that it was an older hotel. I think that for a "luxury hotel" that they would have nicer towels, as some were a bit torn. Wished the shower and sink faucet had more water pressure. The beds were comfortable. The TV was on the older side, not as user friendly as newer TVs. We had a nice view of the plaza from a higher level room. It was nice that the hotel room comes with 2 free bottles of water every day. Extra tip: we found that there are refrigerated water bottles right outside of the hotel gym so if you need water, you know where to go."
