Wilshire Crest Hotel

First of all, the Wilshire Crest Hotel commands a great location. Well situated between downtown and West LA, it is particularly convenient to the LA county museums, CBS studios, the Farmers Market and The Grove shopping mall. The staff was polite, friendly and accommodating; they allowed us into the room earlier than scheduled and provided us with a quiet location which we requested in advance. How often do you get what you ask for these days without unpleasant conversations? Not often. Although I had my doubts about the street parking availability and safety, it worked out well. When u check in, they give u a daily placard to display in your window, and we always found parking within a block of the hotel. No problems. Great walkability to museums, shops and restaurants.

Clean, comfortable, great neighbourhood, very friendly and helpful staff and generally a lovely old school feel to the place (as opposed to alienating large global hotels). Exceptional service: we accidentally left an expensive electric toothbrush and they not only recovered it, but also mailed it to our next destination (we paid for postage). They also helped with parking spot - gave us permits and physically showed us where to park in the street. Highly recommended

We enjoyed the selections for the in room breakfast. Staff was very friendly and responsive . Location was excellent, near good restaurants, shopping and museums

staff was very kind. location is very good whick you can walk to grove mall, erewhon, Trader Joe, wholfoods market. room is big.

this is a budget hotel. having said that, it's a great budget hotel. room was large. bed was comfie. staff, especially the front desk staff, was one of the most helpful and efficient people I've met I the last five years. It was clean, though the smell of the cleaning supplies was way strong and horrible, but it eventually dissipated. I appreciated the bagged breakfast brought to the room ( banana, yogurt, packaged muffins and stuff) and there were adequate towels and room supplies. we were on the first floor so there were bars outside our window, which might not appeal to some, but we felt safe and like being able to keep the windows open. The location is fantastic. Street parking was easy to find before 6:00. We used the $150 ish a night savings we'd have spent on a fancier hotel to eat, taxi, and see the town.
