Hotels near Olvera Street, Los Angeles

The room was very spacious, though a bit dated. The bathroom door was quite noisy when opening and closing, which was noticeable. The room had air conditioning with both heating and cooling, but the unit itself was very loud when running. The hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from Union Station and situated in Chinatown, making transportation very convenient. I occasionally saw homeless individuals, but not many, and I felt quite safe overall. Service-wise, the hotel offered free coffee and a water dispenser, which was a huge plus, especially in Los Angeles where even a bottle of water can cost $2.

The room is spacious and clean. There are many restaurants around. It is close to the subway station and the transportation is convenient. It is very close to China city and it is very convenient to eat Chinese food. The front desk service is thoughtful.

Our family of three stayed for four days and were quite satisfied. The room was very spacious, and the two double beds were large enough. American hotels generally don't have kettles, so the portable one we brought was very useful. We had to ask the front desk daily for bottled water, and they'd give us two bottles. The hotel's location is excellent; it's convenient for getting around with a subway station nearby. Little Tokyo has Japanese supermarkets where you can buy plenty of food and drinks. Angel's Flight, City Hall, the art museum, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Grand Central Market, and The Last Bookstore are all within walking distance.

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!

Ideally located in the city centre, making it very convenient. The hotel’s ground floor is beautifully designed, and for drinks, there is also a rooftop bar (with another bar directly opposite the hotel). The staff are extremely helpful. I really loved my stay.

My stay at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles was quite a unique experience. I absolutely loved the grand historic architecture—the building is stunning and full of old-world charm, making it feel like stepping back in time. However, some aspects of the stay were less impressive. The breakfast was a bit underwhelming and repetitive, and it was sometimes difficult to get help from the staff. I often had to go down to the reception myself to get a bottle of water each day, which was inconvenient. The location was also not ideal for first-time visitors to the city. The surrounding downtown area did not feel very comfortable to explore, especially at night, and compared to other downtown areas we have visited, it felt less welcoming and not safe. The hotel definitely has a very distinctive atmosphere—beautiful, historic, and at times a little strange and eerie, especially in the basement area where the pool and gym are located, which adds to its character. Overall, it was an interesting stay mainly because of the incredible architecture and history of the place.f

I stayed here to go to Dodger Stadium, and it was great that it was within walking distance! The only complaint I had was that the water pressure in the shower was weak. You had to hand in your room card to the front desk every day (I'm not sure why). The bus leaves right in front of the hotel, so you can take it if you're going somewhere nearby. There are no supermarkets or convenience stores nearby, so it's best to buy food and bring it with you.

The room is large and clean. In Chinatown, the price is high, the facilities are complete, and the front desk staff is very communicative. The hygienist came to Los Angeles from Guangzhou 18 years ago. She enthusiastically helped introduce the situation and allowed us to view and choose a house. The hotel environment is also good, and the breakfast is OK. Western food in American hotels is just like this, and it is far inferior to the buffets in good hotels in China.

The location is fantastic. It's close to the subway, bus stops, and a supermarket, and you can even walk to Crypto.com Arena. The area around the hotel also felt very safe. While people often say it's dangerous to walk around Los Angeles at night, I felt perfectly fine walking between the hotel and the arena. My only complaints are that the room didn't have a refrigerator and the shower ran out of hot water late at night, usually after 11 PM.

Room was great. Nice view. Complimentary coffee. Bathroom had a ***** hair in toilet seat. Everything else was great. Lounge on the 34th floor was amazing. The drinks were well crafted perfectly made. Other than that toilet hair everything else was great.
