Old beauty doesn't live up to expectations...
My husband and I found a wonderful deal on a King bedroom at the Biltmore this past Saturday, and were looking forward to spending the night in this historic gem in downtown L.A.
Upon check-in, it is clear to see why this hotel has such significance - beautiful lobby, gorgeous architecture... but once we were in our room - ugh - it was a different story. There was a shabby feel, with poor painting, worn out linens and uncomfortable, bad pillows, crummy artwork, shutters covering the window were dusty, the very small bathroom had older tile and no counter space. Overall, in DESPERATE need of an upgrade - for such a grand olde dame, it is ashame that the rooms aren't up to snuff!
