With the Beverly Center at 10 minutes walking and The Grove at about 15 you can hardly beat the location if you're in town for shopping and you don't want to spend all your time driving. Personnel is young and welcoming, rooms large and clean. The pool is very small. They gave me a late checkout today with no hesitation and the room was on a special rate for the day. All in all, a small, but nice hotel close to one of LA's hottest eating spots, Joan's on Third.

A perfect place to stay, a fantastic hotel and an awesome bar with a selection of great beers and food. We stayed there for a week or so in October 2012 and found it the perfect base to explore from, with easy (and cheap) access via cab to Hollywood and Santa Monica and only a short walk from The Farmers Market, Joans on Third and Veggie Grill. We're planning a return trip as soon as we can make it.

My girlfriends and I just spent a magical night at The Orlando Hotel. We were impressed on every level. We asked for early check-in and it happened - well before Noon. We asked for rooms nearby and it happened. We were greeted by a lovely staff, fantastic rooms (double queens - with robes) and Churchill's, a really fun bar/restaurant in the Lobby. We wish we had stayed longer and we will be back.
Thanks, Paul and your wonderful team.

I love the staff at the Orlando.They are 100 percent accommodating from the valet to the front desk ( a few steps away) to the hotel staff,
The little lobby&front desk area always has fresh,beautiful flower displays ,2 staff members ready to help you and the elevators are fast.The rooms are a good size,soft browns and earthy tones,Zen like bathrooms with clean towels & linens and great smelling bath products.For the busy location it's surprisingly quiet easy to navigate.I would have given the Orlando 5 stars but it's attached restaurant "The Churchill " is lacking...well...anything really worth ordering.It's menu is a bit too sophisticated (or so it wishes to be) for the hotel's clientele.It needs some items that are less interesting.
Parking here is a cinch with the valet who are so fast and thoughtful that I don't mind the parking fee.
Friendly,fresh and comfortable this sweet little establishment is a stones throw from the Beverly Center,Joan's onThird,Polkadots&Moonbeams,Sunset Blvd,,Melrose,LACMA ,The Grove and a bunch of awesome restaurants and cool shops.A WAY better value than the ridiculously overpriced and underwhelming Sofitel down the street.
P.S.I have stayed here MANY times now and it's been consistently delightful.
