Ξενοδοχεία Romantic σε California, United States

This hotel is in a great location in Downtown LA. From LAX, I took the FlyAway bus ($12.75) and then two subway stops ($1.75, flat fare) to Pershing Square, and it was just across the street. There's a paid outdoor parking lot opposite the hotel (I don't recommend renting a car in LA – traffic can be bad, parking is expensive, and California gas prices are high, around $2/liter. Public transport is only $1.75 per ride, with a $5 daily cap, and a $20 refill on a Tap Card is usually enough to get around LA). Safety-wise, I'd say it's decent. It's in a transitional area between the more dangerous Skid Row and the safer Financial District in DTLA. I'd advise against coming back too late or wandering around at night. If you do come back late, it's best to take an Uber. If you're walking, try not to stare at the homeless, and don't engage if they talk to you. The hotel has a live front desk and security. You need to use your key card to enter after 6 PM and also to use the elevator. It feels very safe during the day, so you can confidently go out and explore. Theft and robbery aren't as prevalent in the US as some might think; you'll see plenty of people playing on their phones while waiting at traffic lights, and people carry their backpacks normally. The hotel rooms, while not huge, have distinctive lighting. There's a tablet by the bed that allows you to activate a 'sleep mode' with one tap, and you can control the lights and TV channels through it, which is very cozy and comfortable. However, there's no kettle for hot water. For someone like me who likes hot drinks, you can go to the bar on the first floor and ask the staff for hot water for free. They also have various free tea bags. Coffee and alcoholic drinks are extra, though. If you don't feel like going out at night, ordering a drink and chatting with an American is a great way to experience the nightlife – Americans are really good conversationalists!

My stay at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles was quite a unique experience. I absolutely loved the grand historic architecture—the building is stunning and full of old-world charm, making it feel like stepping back in time. However, some aspects of the stay were less impressive. The breakfast was a bit underwhelming and repetitive, and it was sometimes difficult to get help from the staff. I often had to go down to the reception myself to get a bottle of water each day, which was inconvenient. The location was also not ideal for first-time visitors to the city. The surrounding downtown area did not feel very comfortable to explore, especially at night, and compared to other downtown areas we have visited, it felt less welcoming and not safe. The hotel definitely has a very distinctive atmosphere—beautiful, historic, and at times a little strange and eerie, especially in the basement area where the pool and gym are located, which adds to its character. Overall, it was an interesting stay mainly because of the incredible architecture and history of the place.f

Everything about my stay was more than fine except for two issues. I had already informed hotel management that I would be proposing that night, and I specifically requested a non-connecting room with a decent view. Despite this, I was given a connecting room and placed next to a group of friends who were extremely loud throughout the night. I tried contacting the reception multiple times regarding the noise, but no one answered for nearly two hours, if not more. I also experienced an issue at the restaurant during breakfast. I tried to explain to the waiter that my reservation already included breakfast for two people that day. He informed me that I could order anything from the menu. However, I was later surprised with a bill exceeding $100 and was then told that the breakfast-for-two benefit only covered $50 of the total.

It was already evening when we arrived in Monterey. After checking in, we hurried to dine at a Thai restaurant not far away. The town was very quiet. Although we didn’t pay much attention to the environment around the hotel, when we went to the hotel for coffee early in the morning, we saw how beautiful the sea and sky next to the hotel were. The guest rooms were also very clean. I felt that the trip was worthwhile. It was a pity that we should have stayed one more night. I guess I’ll make up for it next time. 😊

It's okay, but the room is on the first floor, and there is a parking lot in front of the door. When a car is parked or driving away, it makes a lot of noise. The whole house shakes, and there are people parking their cars until midnight, and they still make noise after parking. A few words made such a quiet town seem very noisy.

This hotel must have been recently renovated as the facilities are brand new. The room's lighting, music, temperature, and curtains can all be controlled via an iPad. The hotel is also very close to the subway station and the starting point of the cable car.

Facilities: The heating in the room is super powerful, and the seaside is humid. After the sea breeze is super cold, turn it on and let the wind out immediately. Don't be too comfortable! The basic facilities in the room are very good! There are also timed warm lights in the bathroom, each design is very practical, and the hotel is very thoughtful. Hygiene: clean and tidy! Environment: There are enough recreational items in the hotel, and there is no problem staying in the hotel for a whole day; it is close to the beach, and you can walk to Moonstone in 5 minutes. It is very convenient, and it is a seaside where you can watch the sunset! There is a complete plank road, which is very safe. Service: The service of the hotel and the restaurant next door are very good!

The hotel gave us a room on the 48th floor with amazing city views. The twin room with 1.5-meter beds was spacious and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was a bit low, but all the bath amenities were provided. The highlights were definitely the gym and the pool. I highly recommend checking them out. The outdoor pool had a comfortable temperature, and at 1.2 meters deep, it was perfect for both swimming and just splashing around.

Pastoral style, quiet and peaceful, large room, clean and sanitary, with unique layout. There is no breakfast, but you can taste homemade wine from local farmers during the free wine time every afternoon, and parking is free.

The hotel is an old hotel, but it is very comfortable, with perfect infrastructure, good service attitude, clean and hygienic, and beautiful environment.
