Hotels near Theatre West in Los Angeles

The service staff are very kind The meal was very delicious! The bed in the room is very comfortable and the TV is smart Although the hotel is relatively old, the only flaw is that the shower head in the bathroom equipment is of an old type.

It is very convenient to walk to the shuttle bus to Universal Studios. There are also some restaurants around, as well as the subway and 🍔. It is enough to live in Universal Studios for a short time, it is not suitable for long-term living.

the place is clean. the staff is friendly. it's close to the 101

Whenever I’m back in LA I always stay at the Garland… It’s central, it’s beautifully run and for Los Angeles, the prices are actually reasonable! Despite that I’m not an enormous fan of 70s retro, I actually kinda love what they’ve done with the place!🧡 The rooms are delightful, comfortable, the beds are perfect… Not too soft just firm enough.. Love the Lather brand products they feature in the bathroom… Everything feels luxurious without one’s having spent a kings ransom. Many many many years ago I recall it was the Howard Johnsons… After all those years and several incarnations, it’s evolved once again, it’s immensely popular and like I said, very very well run.. The staff at the reception desk are always helpful, welcoming and courteous, and the Front Yard restaurant is excellent!!

Love the hotel! Historical building with gorgeous interior. Rooms is spacious. Location is central. Room is not very modern but has everything you need. Also service is friendly and allowed me to check in earlier! Was a great experience!

I went to watch the Lakers game, so the location of the hotel is very important to me. I can walk to the stadium from the hotel in 5 minutes, so I am very satisfied with this. The room is not big, and like other hotels, there are no slippers or toiletries, so you have to bring your own. I stayed in a corner room with a very good view and plenty of sunshine.

The location is very convenient, 5 minutes walk from the big supermarket and gas station, the hotel is clean and hygienic, warm and safe, especially the boss and his wife are very hospitable and welcoming, responsive, gave us a lot of help, will come to stay next time!

We like the Airtel. We’ve stayed here many times over the years. We were told they closed to the public for a couple years and became a homeless shelter. Admirable, but now that they’re open to the public again they really need to resume the same services they had. No restaurants. No in-room coffee. No microwave. No refrigerator (unless you ask for one and lucky enough to get one of few they have left). Crack in the bathroom sink. Not even an ice-machine, but at least you can bring your ice bucket to the front desk and they’ll fill it for you. It’s evident that they HAVE been working on restoring the place; the room was clean, great pillows, A/C worked fine, but they have a long way to go to regain their “former glory”. Were it not for Gary at the front desk (who did everything in his power to make us happy), we probably wouldn’t be back, but we will return.

This place is definitely in my top ten favorite places to stay in the LA area without breaking the bank, and one of my favorite Best Westerns. About ten years ago I stayed here, and it was a very good experience. Since then the place has been updated and the rooms remodeled. My recent stay was even better than the first. The landscape around this hotel is lush and beautiful. It really provides a pleasant contrast to the concrete city around it. There's plenty of parking, and a Denny's that you can get to through the parking lot. The room was clean and looked like it had been updated fairly recently. The king-sized bed was very comfortable, and the room included a fridge. The only downside to the room was a tiny gap between the door and its frame, which allowed smoke from a smoker outside to waft into my room. The location is very convenient; close to both the 101 and the 405. With that convenience, however, does come noise. Sepulveda is a large road, and there will likely be traffic noise and maybe sirens. As someone who lived in LA for awhile, I'm not sure where you would find a place to stay that doesn't have traffic noise. I look forward to staying here again.

Could easily be zero stars. Original room was 93 degrees upon check in, the air conditioning unit was poor by anyone's standard, we asked to switch rooms. They did not offer to come get our bags, or move us to a new room so we brought our luggage back down to the front desk. We were then given a second room. Again, no offer made to accompany us and see if the new room was up to standards. This room was 92 degrees upon entry. After a second phone call, they sent up staff to change the filters on the AC unit. That team told us the AC was functioning well and blowing cold air (it was blowing cold air as if you had a few ice cubes in your mouth and blew on my neck) and to use the blackout curtains (after a sort of condescending explanation of what blackout curtains do) and give it some time for the AC to work. We went out to dinner for about two hours and came back to a nice cool 87 degree room. We once again took our belongings back downstairs. We were then told by the front desk staff that since we booked a room with a king size bed all of those rooms faced the sun and would all have similar problems (why would that be an acceptable answer?) and they could do nothing more for us since they accommodated us once already. I had no idea their idea of accommodating someone was to put them in a room with the same problem that the previous room had but what do I know, I am not in the hospitality industry. We were then told that the hotel was completely booked so no further ”accommodations” could be made. We asked for a refund and this is the first time they reacted with some conviction, they were happy to let us leave. Must be nice to be able to turn away business. At no time were there any apologies, any remorse, just matter-of-factly let us leave. My wife and I don't argue or yell, we never feel its worth it, but we left angry and hotel-less on a Saturday night in Los Angeles. We scrambled to find a new hotel but the damage was done, they took our entire Saturday away from us, which no refund could ever compensate for, they temporarily took our joy to be in town on our own as we are parents and do not get much time away. We did take our business elsewhere, to a Hilton, they seem to understand that to relax you need a room that is slightly cooler than a sauna. We were able to salvage the remaining days of our trip. Also the elevators at the Freehand are old (charming?) and constantly in use because of the rooftop bar so it took us waiting for a few packed elevators to get up and down to the hot AF rooms which probably added to our level of frustration. But it was mostly the Sahara like environment of the hot room. Did I mention the rooms were hot? Also maybe use a free hand to open a book on what hospitality looks like, I think your staff may be surprised. (see what I did there?)
