to get started.

Breakfast service was excellent, service staff was attentive, food was good, small selection on the breakfast buffet, eggs, bacon, french toast or pancakes, oatmeal, and fruit options, good enough to get you going, I would avoid the pancakes. The hotel is very comfortable, at all levels and floors, considering that 5 floors are dedicated to athletic activities, I would definitely recommend you stay here if you are a fitness aficionado. The bed was extremely comfortable, there's a small fridge and a safe in the room, the chocolate mints that the cleaning staff would leave were a very nice touch.

The front desk staff was so accommodating. Out room wasn’t ready when we first got there but they sent us to the lounge for a drink and bite to eat and surprised us with a round of drinks made by the lovely Scott! Ernie made sure our room was ready when he said it would be and he was so funny and kind to us! When it came time to check in, Ernie was not there but we got Oscar and he too was also so accommodating toward us and talked to us about our jobs and our stay. I loved all the staff here and can’t wait to stay again. Oh my gosh and the breakfast buffet was amazing with refilllable OJ and coffee. Love love love!

All the staff members were wonderful; especially Gretchen and another gentleman whose name I didn’t get. Breakfast staff as well were super nice. Buffet breakfast was SO good and a had variety of choices. Provided full size bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Robes were very comfy. Access to athletic club amenities was nice i.e. pool basketball court etc. If I ever go back to LA, I would probably stay here again.

“Love L.A.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Queen Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
Rooms need to be upgraded, the building which is beautiful is from the 1920's but the rooms can stand to be upgraded, decoration and furniture is dark, almost a colonial style but dark wood, dark walls, some brighter colors would help. The toiletries in the shower are 3 bottles bolted on the wall with a small pump dispenser, uncomfortable to use during shower as the amount that comes out as you use them varies and at times becomes difficult to handle, for such a nice hotel, you can do better than that setup. Not hotel related, but the food truck across the street is not good, just in case room service is not available at the hotel for a late snack.

“Whatever you want, this place has it! THE BEST”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Queen Room
- • Stayed 10 nights
There is nothing which I disliked, the bath/shower was a little dated however nothing which would put me off staying.
This is possibly one of the best and coolest hotels I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The LAAC has so much character and history. The decor is oozing with sophisticated style and sporty heritage. From the famous pool to the gym and spa facilities, this hotel is an exceptional place to stay. The rooms are very well laid out with lovely decor which reflects the hotels' style and are very spacious. The hidden bar on a Friday night is great, the breakfasts every morning are extremely good and the sports facilities are some of the best I've visited. I'm really happy that I can say I've stayed at the Los Angeles Athletic Club due to how well known it is in LA. And that's not even getting to the fabulous location. It is surrounded by great places to eat in Downton such as Grand Central Market, Spring Street, and the exceptional Perch. It is a great base for exploring LA and I could not recommend enough. PS, the bathrobes are TO DIE FOR!

Slight musty odor, but it’s an older building and not a huge deal. Bathroom could use a remodel and kind of small. Had an issue with the a/c but maintenance came right away and fixed it. Nothing that would keep me from returning.
All the staff members were wonderful; especially Gretchen and another gentleman whose name I didn’t get. Breakfast staff as well were super nice. Buffet breakfast was SO good and a had variety of choices. Provided full size bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Robes were very comfy.
