I'm a frequent business traveler and usually stay at Marriott or Doubletree hotels. I needed to stay downtown LA and was looking for an alternative to those hotels due to cost. This hotel has a prime downtown location, a magnificent, beautiful and elegant lobby, but is an older hotel. Rooms were clean, but room and bathroom fixtures were worn out.... more

I traveled with several others and we had varied experiences. My room was small and my toilet was old and horribly stained. The room was very noisy. The front desk didn't seem to care and said I would be unable to change rooms. The parking was expensive and the internet was also. But on the bright side the location is... more

I booked this hotel via Hotwire at a really good price for an upscale downtown L.A. hotel. Had I paid full price I'd have been REALLY disappointed. But for the price I paid, the room was better than adequate, but the stay could have been--should have been--a lot better. After reading the reviews on this site, I requested a courtyard... more

I made the mistake of staying at this hotel in February 2010, and went to sleep with clear skin, and awoke the following morning with well over 50 bug bites covering my neck, legs, stomach, chest, hips, rear, arms, and back. I sleep facing down so it made sense that the areas with the highest concentration of bites were the... more

A grand hotel with elegant public areas. Large, well fitted rooms. more

As I am sure that this hotel was beautiful and amazing in the 1930s - they haven't redone the rooms since then. I was so disgusted when I saw my room I immediately checked out. The room had a rock hard bed, a 13" color box TV (???), and bolted shut windows overlooking a heavily crowded intersection of 5th street... more

We enjoyed a lovely overnight at the Biltmore to celebrate two birthdays and also to do some shopping in Los Angeles. The staff, without fail, was absolutely wonderful! Sincere and cheerful with just that extra bit of service. I had sent an e-mail prior to our arrival with a few requests for the room as well as an explanation for... more

I stayed here over Thanksgiving 2009 and wrote a review when I came home but decided not to post it as I didn't think I was being very objective slating this lovely hotel over it's location. However I have decided to write the review again as I think reading a review like this would have helped me to make a... more

We loved the hotel. As everyone has said, architecture and decor are beautiful. We found everyone to be friendly and helpful, our inside room quiet and very comfortable (we don't care about a small tv and never use minibars) and parking at the Pershing Square lot easy. Restaurant in the rotunda was good and the servers were so gracious .... more
