Top The Smell Hotel Reviews

Los Angeles Athletic Club

10/10 Excellent

"everything is perfect!"

Reside Craftsman Los Angeles, a Wyndham Residence

10/10 Excellent

"I spent 2 nights at this facility and it was pleasurable. Location is good. The rooms are spacious and everything was clean. My room had a washer and a dryer. It’s also had an oven, a coffee maker, a full sized fridge and a storage unit where you can put your food if you want to cook there. It also has a cooktop so it was like home away from home experience for me. I really enjoyed my stay at Riverside craftsman. Next time I’m in LA I’ll definitely be staying. Thank you for a good service Rent and thank you to Marco for all his help."

InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"a must to stay in best view in the city"

Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"The Omni LA is magical. From being located on the same landing as the Angels Flight Railway and just across the street from the Grand Central Market and countless museums and concert halls you can not have better placement. The location right next to Pershing Square makes travel to Universal, the Academy museum, even the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, effortless."

STILE Downtown Los Angeles

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for three nights and absolutely loved it! The staff was extremely courteous and helpful, from check-in to housekeeping. Our room was super clean and comfortable. They thought of everything, even face masks. We loved the architecture, lots of personality. There was some street noise, as you might expect in downtown LA, but closing the curtains helped significantly. The location was excellent, with great restaurants nearby—especially Lala’s Argentine Grill. We walked to Little Tokyo and the Convention Center and felt safe in the area. The rooftop pool is small but a great place to relax. We also splurged on valet parking and were glad we did—our car was usually ready within five minutes. Great service, location, and overall experience. We would definitely stay here again!"
