A Jewel in the Miracle Mile District
OK. So it's not the Ritz, but give me this over the Ritz any day. I can honestly say that this was one of the most enjoyable and hassle-free stays at a hotel for quite a while. I can't find a fault in any aspect of my stay here. The location was perfect for getting to almost anywhere downtown, museums, shopping at The Grove or Farmers Market and freeways for venturing further afield.
Staff could not have been more helpful. I was concerned before arriving at some of the comments regarding parking in the street and the permit, but if you keep your wits about you and know what the rules are about where to park, you will have no problems. The furthest I had to park was about 200 yards away and the owner was also proactive with regard to the street cleaning days and making sure that guests were not parked in areas that were being cleaned.
The room was comfortable, clean and large and my bed was very comfortable. There is also a small area out front to sit and chill after a days sightseeing or shopping. There was occasional noise from other guests, but I was never awakened or disturbed by any noise.
Thanks to everyone at the Wilshire Crest for an enjoyable stay and I would definitely stay here again.
