The Biltmore Los Angeles

The Biltmore Los Angeles

8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Biltmore Los Angeles. For our budget, it was a great choice, especially because we were interested in staying in a historic building and exploring its history and architectural details. The hotel has a lot of character, and being able to stay in such an iconic Los Angeles landmark made the experience even more special for us. The staff was friendly and attentive, and our room was very comfortable and well maintained. The only minor issue we noticed was that some of the hallways occasionally had a slightly unpleasant or musty smell, possibly from the carpeting, but it was tolerable and did not negatively affect our overall stay. Overall, we had a very good experience and felt the Biltmore offered excellent value, especially for anyone who appreciates historic hotels, architecture, and the history of Los Angeles. We would definitely consider staying here again."
