Romantic Hotels in California, United States

This hotel is in a great location in Downtown LA. From LAX, I took the FlyAway bus ($12.75) and then two subway stops ($1.75, flat fare) to Pershing Square, and it was just across the street. There's a paid outdoor parking lot opposite the hotel (I don't recommend renting a car in LA – traffic can be bad, parking is expensive, and California gas prices are high, around $2/liter. Public transport is only $1.75 per ride, with a $5 daily cap, and a $20 refill on a Tap Card is usually enough to get around LA). Safety-wise, I'd say it's decent. It's in a transitional area between the more dangerous Skid Row and the safer Financial District in DTLA. I'd advise against coming back too late or wandering around at night. If you do come back late, it's best to take an Uber. If you're walking, try not to stare at the homeless, and don't engage if they talk to you. The hotel has a live front desk and security. You need to use your key card to enter after 6 PM and also to use the elevator. It feels very safe during the day, so you can confidently go out and explore. Theft and robbery aren't as prevalent in the US as some might think; you'll see plenty of people playing on their phones while waiting at traffic lights, and people carry their backpacks normally. The hotel rooms, while not huge, have distinctive lighting. There's a tablet by the bed that allows you to activate a 'sleep mode' with one tap, and you can control the lights and TV channels through it, which is very cozy and comfortable. However, there's no kettle for hot water. For someone like me who likes hot drinks, you can go to the bar on the first floor and ask the staff for hot water for free. They also have various free tea bags. Coffee and alcoholic drinks are extra, though. If you don't feel like going out at night, ordering a drink and chatting with an American is a great way to experience the nightlife – Americans are really good conversationalists!

The room was a bit old and the facilities were dated, but it had a sense of historical charm, and overall the experience was good. They don't provide water in the rooms; you have to go to the front desk to get it yourself. When the front desk is busy, you still have to retrieve it yourself.

Everything about my stay was more than fine except for two issues. I had already informed hotel management that I would be proposing that night, and I specifically requested a non-connecting room with a decent view. Despite this, I was given a connecting room and placed next to a group of friends who were extremely loud throughout the night. I tried contacting the reception multiple times regarding the noise, but no one answered for nearly two hours, if not more. I also experienced an issue at the restaurant during breakfast. I tried to explain to the waiter that my reservation already included breakfast for two people that day. He informed me that I could order anything from the menu. However, I was later surprised with a bill exceeding $100 and was then told that the breakfast-for-two benefit only covered $50 of the total.

It was already evening when we arrived in Monterey. After checking in, we hurried to dine at a Thai restaurant not far away. The town was very quiet. Although we didn’t pay much attention to the environment around the hotel, when we went to the hotel for coffee early in the morning, we saw how beautiful the sea and sky next to the hotel were. The guest rooms were also very clean. I felt that the trip was worthwhile. It was a pity that we should have stayed one more night. I guess I’ll make up for it next time. 😊

The hotel is old and appears renovated at some point but perhaps not by contractors experienced in finish work. Overall, nice stay because we made it a nice stay for us. DO NOT PAY FOR THE BREAKFAST. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. Floors were squeaky so we heard walking until wee hours of the morning. Choose a top floor if you can. Cleaning crews were noisy in the morning right outside our door so don't count in sleeping in pass 9:00 AM. Toilet was loose and rocked as you sit. Shower and sink had mold in the grout joints giving the impression of unsanitized although the smell of bleach upon arrival was quite strong. Our window had wood rot and the crank was broken so the window could only be pushed or pulled open by the muntins. Hotel was a bit pricey for what you get but this is a tourist destination so expect mediocre for high price.

This hotel must have been recently renovated as the facilities are brand new. The room's lighting, music, temperature, and curtains can all be controlled via an iPad. The hotel is also very close to the subway station and the starting point of the cable car.

Facilities: The heating in the room is super powerful, and the seaside is humid. After the sea breeze is super cold, turn it on and let the wind out immediately. Don't be too comfortable! The basic facilities in the room are very good! There are also timed warm lights in the bathroom, each design is very practical, and the hotel is very thoughtful. Hygiene: clean and tidy! Environment: There are enough recreational items in the hotel, and there is no problem staying in the hotel for a whole day; it is close to the beach, and you can walk to Moonstone in 5 minutes. It is very convenient, and it is a seaside where you can watch the sunset! There is a complete plank road, which is very safe. Service: The service of the hotel and the restaurant next door are very good!

The hotel gave us a room on the 48th floor with amazing city views. The twin room with 1.5-meter beds was spacious and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was a bit low, but all the bath amenities were provided. The highlights were definitely the gym and the pool. I highly recommend checking them out. The outdoor pool had a comfortable temperature, and at 1.2 meters deep, it was perfect for both swimming and just splashing around.

What a gorgeous place! We extended our stay as we loved it so much. The staff are excellent. They offer a high standard service and not a stone is left untouched. The place was immaculate and attention to detail was impressive. We loved it and will certainly be back.

We had an excellent experience. The staff was friendly and attentive. Beautiful lobby and excellent room. Will definitely refer friends and family.
