    Valet only parking, and this was expensive, particularly when it is the next door garage that is used (using this is $18 compared to valet $54 plus tax). Also compulsory $30 destination charge, which is just a hike in room rate for little benefit

    Excellent staff. Comfortable room. Location if you required access to downtown/Crypto arena for hockey

    The extra costs, taxes and charges that follow on arrival, after you’ve booked and paid in advance. Complementary water in the room would’ve been great as a supplementary to the tea & coffee that is offered.

    Beautiful hotel. Lovely and pleasant as soon as you walk in with the bar and lounge at the entrance. Very comfortable and clean. Location is great in downtown LA. Staff are very lovely and pleasant. Loved that the room had a full bath tub which is rare treat not offered in many hotels we’ve stayed at around the world; bed is very comfortable; room and closet space is spacious, clean with great furnishings; window that you could open to let in some fresh air; fridge is available in the room; USB ports next to the bedside lamp was fantastic - it was the small things that made our stay enjoyable especially coming from overseas and for our final leg of our first holiday in USA.

    Mandatory $30 daily charge for “conveniences” that I didn’t want. The floor I was staying on smelled strongly of marijuana.

    Fun, clean, classic building with a great location. Staff was friendly and helpful

    Very comfortable room with fridge, nice coffee and lovely bathroom. Great location downtown, close to the Metro. The guys at the main entrance are really nice and friendly and gave great advice for travel info.

    An extremely overpowering scent in the lobby - it was like breathing a Christmas candle and was choking for anyone sensitive to scents. My room was on the first floor and had a joining door that had no soundproofing. I was wakened at 6am every morning by my neighbor having conference calls (sorry about your layoffs), and kept up late past midnight by his South Park binges on TV. It was clean and well kept otherwise. The bar had three beer choices, all bad ones. Three.

    The lobby and bar placement were great and the decorations were beautiful. The breakfast was good (but not worth $30 yeesh).

    I wish I had had the chance to get a real breakfast but the printed times were wrong

    Didn’t actually get breakfast. The printed times differed from actual times. The kind server let me have coffee and a muffin after they were put away. Parking valets very helpful. Receptionist very helpful except for explaining the Destination Fee

    Good stay overall, but as a Hilton hotel they could do better

    If you choose to pay at the hotel, they will scam you for an extra $25+tax hotel fee which they justify by free wifi (this is a basic requirement for a hotel in the 21st century) and a discount on an overpriced breakfast (for what you get, they could do better). The carpets in the room were clean but didn't feel clean barefoot so I had to put on socks when I got to my room.

    Had a view of the nearby library which was wonderful. I was able to leave the window open without getting the street noise and have fresh air in the room without using the AC. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful, along with the wonderful waitresses at breakfast which is a big reason I chose to have breakfast there instead of venturing out. Old school look of the hotel was great and I loved the architecture.

    Seemed understaffed like everything in the states these days. I got a text from somebody at the hotel telling me to text back if I needed anything. Great! Asked for extra water bottles: no. Asked for a wine key: come down to the lobby and borrow it. Luggage cart to check out: come down and get one if you're lucky. You get it. Part of a hotel stay is the comfort and having a clean room every day, but another part is being served. Felt like I was running downstairs for everything in my pj's because I was surprised they wouldn't just send it up.

    Clean and quiet for downtown, there was a big outdoor concert in Pershing square and we didnt hear it unless we opened all the windows. Walking distance to pretty much everything worthwhile and friendly useful valet who told us where to park for much cheaper

    not many food restaurants around and the walk on a hot summers day for food can be exhausting. not everyone wants sandwiches for afternoon and evening. the lower floor rooms have no view and can be blocked by an imposing wall of the next building

    well maintained property and fairly good location. pillow variety for a good sleep and adequate channels to drift off to sleep. breakfast energizes you for the day and staff helpful.

    There are a lot of actual charges that do not get specified at the time of booking, I ended up paying around $100 more than I was expecting to.

    Homeless people! Literally saw people doing crack outside our window. But thats expected in LA! However,I really wanted to emphasize on the bar service… When we sat down to get our complimentary drinks, that we had to pay for amenities $25 the bartender was extremely incapable of acknowledging us and giving us a menu! In fact, after sitting for 10 mins he said he would be right with us. 10 mins after the lady next to us rang him down and ordered and he just looked at us. Didnt even bother to see if we wanted a menu! Anyway we were short on time heading to a show so we left and that was when he finally acknowledged us. If you guys are busy on a Saturday night have 2 people at the bar or someone cross trained to handle front desk and bar! There is no reAson to have 2 people at front desk doing NOTHING at 7pm! I was literally observing! But yeah i 100% would not stay here again bc of service.there are nicer hotels with a working elevator and bigger rooms! I excepted better for the hilton! So disappointed

    Really nice and clean.
