The Winfield Lofts, A Wyndham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great space and location, wonderful staff!"

Miyako Hotel Los Angeles

8/10 Good

"Central location. Professional and helpful staff."

The Delphi Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff were all very helpful during my stay. I arrived from the airport earlier then check in time. I was able to pre-check in and leave my luggage with them, which they gave me a ticket to be able to retrieve it later when I arrived again. I was stunned when I first entered the room. It was completely gorgeous and felt very comfortable yet luxurious. The bathroom was very clean and big with all the amenities I might need for my stay. There was a fridge but no microwave. There was a safe but we didnt use it. I went with my partner and I wished there was more than 1 lounge chair and 1 desk chair to sit on other than the bed but we made it work for the few days we were there. The pool on the rooftop was big, luxurious and clean. I wished there was pool drink service, though, however. The rooftop restaurant was very nice. The service was great, I went for my birthday dinner and they gave me a really nice personalized dessert. The server was very helpful with any question I had about the menu. I enjoyed Denae's Diner very much. We went for a breakfast and a lunch. Both times the food was great, especially the lunch menu. The hotel was extremely nice to stay at, I enjoyed my time very much. I would definitely consider coming back to The Delphi on my next stay in LA."
