Top California Hotel Reviews

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Only thing that would have made it more convenient would have been a way to connect your own streaming services"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location and the rooms are very nice. Can be noisy from guests above ,if you are on a lower floor. The food at breakfast is wonderful and plentiful but having to wait in line to get in was not fun. Always crowded and noisy. Wish they would give you complimentary coffee while you wait!"

Loews Hollywood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loews Hollywood Hotel Review Our stay at the Loews Hollywood Hotel was absolutely unforgettable. After nearly ten years, my wife and I finally had the chance to take a trip together, and Loews Hollywood was the perfect home base for such a special getaway. The location is exceptional! Right in the heart of Hollywood and within easy walking distance of the Walk of Fame, Dolby Theatre, TCL Chinese Theatre, restaurants, and entertainment. It made exploring Los Angeles effortless while still giving us a beautiful, comfortable place to retreat to at the end of the day. Our room was clean, comfortable, stylish, and offered wonderful views of the city. Everything felt well maintained and thoughtfully presented. But what truly stood out was the hospitality. The staff were warm, professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. That personal touch made the experience feel much more special than simply staying at a hotel. For us, this wasn’t just another hotel stay. It was part of a long-awaited trip and a collection of memories we’ll cherish for years to come. Loews Hollywood provided the perfect setting for it all. Five stars without hesitation. We loved our stay and would absolutely return. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, incredible location, and outstanding hospitality in the heart of Hollywood, Loews Hollywood is hard to beat."
