4-Star Hotels in California, United States

It was decent. However, the showering experience in the bathtub room was quite frustrating. The tub wasn't very clean, and the showerhead was fixed, not detachable. On the plus side, the views were great. Breakfast offered fried noodles and youtiao, and they also had Chinese-speaking staff available, making it a good option for Chinese travelers on a short stay. 👍

We stayed in a deluxe city view room at Hilton Financial District—beautiful views and a warm welcome! The TV greeted us with a personalized “Welcome Cristopher,” which was a thoughtful touch. Staff were friendly and let us check in early. Great location near Chinatown, with amazing food—thanks to Denmark for recommending House of Nanking! Room was clean and well-priced.

Perfect for a layover. The hotel is a bit old but reasonably clean. The shuttle bus runs every 15 minutes or so. When you arrive at the LAX terminal, take the elevator to the 2nd floor, exit the door, and walk all the way to the right to find the hotel bus shuttle stop. For the hotel elevators, you need to press your floor number, for example, if your room is 8051, press 8, and the elevator will tell you which car to take. There's a Starbucks inside the hotel, but one of the black staff members there had an extremely bad attitude, looking grumpy early in the morning as if I owed her money.

## Room: The room was spacious. Some rooms are a bit noisy due to their proximity to the highway. Bottled water in the room is complimentary only for Hilton Honors members; otherwise, it costs $4 a bottle. Wi-Fi requires you to register as a member (I'm not sure if it's mandatory, but I had to register to use it). Housekeeping services need to be requested at the front desk upon check-in. The water pressure in the shower wasn't very strong, but it was sufficient. As usual, no toothbrush, toothpaste, or disposable slippers were provided (I brought my own, so I don't know if they can be requested from the front desk). ## Hotel Facilities: There's a small convenience store next to the front desk on the first floor, selling snacks, drinks, and water. The lobby also has a coffee shop that opens at 6:30 AM. I received two complimentary cookies during check-in, which was a pleasant surprise! ## Transportation: To get to Disneyland, there's a bus stop right outside the hotel with direct service (bus routes 6/12 or 12), though the schedule isn't always precise. You can buy a day pass on the official website for $6 per adult; it's more cost-effective if you plan to use the bus for both往返 trips. A single ride with a credit card costs $4, and you'll be billed the next day. You can also take an Uber to Disneyland from the hotel entrance. ## Nearby: Across from the hotel, there's a Starbucks and a Wendy's. There's also a large shopping mall nearby, The Outlets at Orange, where you can shop.

I drove by and stayed for one night. The price/performance ratio was good. It was an upgraded motel, so parking was free. However, the guy at the front desk seemed to dislike Chinese people. He kept splitting up to serve other Europeans and Americans during the check-in process and gave us a room far from the front desk. The next day, the lady was much more enthusiastic. There were several breakfast sets. You could choose one. The portion was large, but the waiting time was quite long.

The location is the best part of this hotel. It's centrally located in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, right next to the Mariana/breach. The hotel is a bit aging; bedding are comfortable, but covering sheet that I got was a bit dirty. Room was a bit small but there's a kitchen, so that is a big plus. Front desk girl who checked me in was very not friendly. The resort fee is a rip off. Parking sucks and is $27/day, so I parked across the street in the residential neighborhood for free. Overall, I think it's really worth a 3-star, so paying ~$120 or below for a night during the low season is probably fine.

Clean, new and pleasant. Everything you need to enjoy ocean stay. Parking super expensive $28 os over over paying.

Basically in line with the hotel situation of its brand positioning, there are no surprises or surprises. The sanitary conditions in public areas are average. There are many commercial facilities around the location and convenient dining.

The room is clean and has everything you need. The hotel also provides a minibreakfast. This hotel is just a short walk away from Civic center, touristy areas. However, the streets nearby have a lot of homeless people. Also take note it is always noisy before midnight since it is just roadside. However, after midnight, it is quiet enough to catch a good sleep. If you are a light sleeper, do take this into consideration. Overral I think it is good for the money as a solo traveler. By the way, there is a cheap Vietnamese sandwige store at the corner of Larkin and Eddy streets. $5.5 for one, extremely affordable and fulfilling.

The environment is very nice, but the buffet breakfast doesn't live up to the price; it's worse than many hotels that offer free breakfast.
