Top The Smell Hotel Reviews

The Delphi Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were great. The room was clean. The food was amazing but the glass showers and very low bed were a little unexpected. They were comfortable but weird for a Gen Xer."

Reside Craftsman Los Angeles, a Wyndham Residence

10/10 Excellent

"We really loved the room we stayed kn"

Level Los Angeles Downtown - South Olive

10/10 Excellent

"It was excellent location"

InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The view from the reception on 70th floor was magnificent. The hidden facility to have food or drinks worth USD 25 is very inviting especially from the reception area. The service staff at the bar are very polite and efficient. I found the people handling my luggage very helpful who helped us organise transport. For some reason in spite of being a five star hotel the crowd appeared to be bit loud but that could be due to large corporate gatherings. I do take into account that people in LA do not use underground trains but the hotel is very conveniently located near a underground metro. The hotel is also surrounded by other moderately priced restaurants. It is very conveniently located near some of the well known shops including budget outlet - I did bit of shopping there as well."

Metro Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were incredibly kind and helpful during our stay! The location was perfect for a music festival we were attending nearby. The air conditioning was nice and chilly which we definitely needed after all day outside in the heat and the complimentary filtered ice water was a blessing. The rooms were a little dated but well maintained and we had a very comfortable stay there for the weekend. Would definitely come back if traveling to the area again in the future!"
