Been going there for years now on business, and always enjoyed it. As friend of mine put it "it's like staying at Grandma's house". I like it when going back to your hotel room feels like coming home. The rooms are nicely vintage-decorated, as are the lobby and the beautiful courtyard. Staff is very helpful and attentive. Ocean and downtown... More

The Embassy is beautiful, the landscape lush, and the manager is extremely accommodating. The lobby is well appointed and very pleasant. We stayed in a gorgeous and spacious two story apartment with many operable doors and windows for air circulation.. Parking was a challenge on the street, and the one handicapped parking place is not very close. Distances of any... More

This is an apartment building built in 1928 that is furnished in period style. Great location 2 blocks from the 3rd Ave mall and 2 blocks from the Ocean (Palisades Park). As a hotel, it offers basic services - daily cleaning. Buy groceries or go down the street for breakfast. Kitchen is equipped with gas range , fridge and microwave.... More

Thank you for staying with us for your time in Los Angeles! It was a pleasure to host you. We love our "vintage" property and our central refridgeration capabilities! We are glad you made use of the full kitchen and surrounding markets while you were here. We hope to you back again! Warm regards, Joshua Bond More

The hotel was a bit of a walk to most nearby bars/restaurants, but no more than 10-15 minutes. Parking can be difficult if you attempt to park after rush hour, so I'd recommend having the car back well before then. The hotel was clean and quiet; the shower pressure was weak and we ran out of hot water quickly. There... More

Thank you for the review. I am sorry you had trouble finding parking and had issues with the water heat/pressure. Our staff can address these issues immediately during your stay when notified. We do offer permits at no cost for street parking and, if street parking is scarce, there is a public garage 1.5 blocks from the building that is... More

This is a stylish old place in a quiet street though close to the promenade mall and beach. The rooms are small though very clean and all staff were helpful. Very good for the price, my only complaint would be that there was no fridge. More

The hotel is like an old mansion, interriors are also very old and a bit freaky but everything is clean. All rooms are different some are small athoers are big. Beautiful front garden. Although we were given a free parking permit we've never got to use it as it was so crowded nearby. However, there's a big public parking lot... More

Thank you for staying with us for your time in Los Angeles! It was a pleasure to host you. We love our building; it is a bit like an old mansion! Built in the 1920s, it's a classic example of Moorish-influenced Mediterranean Revival Architecture. We do our best to maintain its character as well as the gardens that surround it.... More

The hotel is in an excellent location. I could always find a place to park - even after a few loops around then neighborhood. The bathrooms are tiny but manageable. I found it warm so I dug out the fan in the closet and it helped. The staff is very nice. More

This hotel is in a perfect location, with big rooms and in a historical building. But it needs an urgent renovation. Our 2rooms were really really old, smelling mold, with pre historical carpets. My 1 year son was crawling when we stayed and I was very preocupied seeing him on that ugly and smelly floor. And sometimes is really difficult... More

Jessica, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay back in January. I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with your rooms, though. I assure you there is no mold in the apartments-- we inspect and clean all of the rooms thoroughly, on a regular basis. Since we opened in 1927, the design and integrity... More

Stayed for 2 nights as a stopover from Rarotonga to London and absolutely loved it. Very good location, just an easy level stroll of about 8 mins to the downtown area. Lovely building with delightful gardens - a breath of fresh air next to the mainly sterile blocks around it. The entrance lounge is large and impressive and spotlessly clean.... More
