Top The Smell Hotel Reviews

Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is clean and close to Dodgers Stadium. The car service really made our stay worthwhile. The valet staff were wonderful and we would stay here again just to use this service. Easy check in and check out. Restaurant is expensive but so is everywhere else. Breakfast buffet was good. Recommend!"

The Winfield Lofts, A Wyndham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Great location! Clean & easy check-in. Highly recommend"

InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very clean hotel, friendly staff!"

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for five days during a Business event. The hotel is fine. Rooms are acceptable and the staff was generally courteous. There are not many dining options and the property is a weird combination of hotel services with random retail outlets in some of the spaces. Also not helped by a 30 minute wait to check in because they are installing new reservations management systems. Overall, the property got the job done, but I likely would look elsewhere next time."

The Biltmore Los Angeles

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Would recommend!"

STILE Downtown Los Angeles

8/10 Good

"Great room and staff were extremely friendly/helpful. The only issue I had with my room was the hotel has a rooftop bar that absolutely blasted music until 2 am on the weekend - as in music so loud it was rattling my windows on the fourth floor. Something to keep in mind if you're staying over a weekend and have noise sensitivity/children."

The Delphi Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean staff was really nice gave a late check out complimentary breakfast was delicious and free with stay I had a great time highlight of my trip . Will be back again it smells amazing which was a huge plus lol"

Metro Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was good fimor the price and location. Noisy but expected. AC unit looked a bit scary so we never turned it on."

Hotel Figueroa, Unbound Collection by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"I went to a Laker game and stayed at the hotel. It was amazing for drinks and dinner before the game. The food was really good and this was my third time and I’ll keep coming back. The lobby is very clean and the staff were ladies and gentlemen. The rooms were very nice as well"
