Hotels near The Ritz on Berendo in Los Angeles

Great value for money! ! ! The room is big enough and not too crowded There is also a good breakfast with many choices I think the location is great Close to downtown attractions The hotel that will stay again next time

This is one of the best hotels I stayed in LA, I really enjoyed staying in the k-town area, great selection of restaurants, well-stocked supermarkets, close to the metro station and the hotel staff were extremely helpful, I will def come back to this hotel and for sure will recommend this hotel to everyone :)

Parking lot, suitable location, safer After about five minutes, there are 7-11 convenience stores, Parisian sweets, various snack bars, and Korean people's supermarkets. It is quite convenient.

The front desk service of the hotel is good, but the hygiene condition is not very good. The bed sheets were not changed even after staying for 5 consecutive nights. When booking the hotel, the destination tax was clearly included, but when checking out, I was still charged 30 US dollars per night. Ctrip customer service promptly refunded me (according to the real-time exchange rate) Parking costs 60 US dollars a night. We parked in the parking lot behind the hotel. If you park before 12 pm until the next morning, you need to pay 40 US dollars. You can choose to park after 12 pm until the next morning. Then The price is $20. I have to say that parking in downtown is really expensive. The security around downtown is not very good either.

The location is very good as it is right next to Koreatown. The room was clean as the host seemed to be sensitive to cleanliness. A day or two is not bad as long as you meet your roommates well. Air conditioning works well too. Towels could be borrowed for $2 but they were not clean. Important items can be stored in the locker according to the number of people in the room and locked with your own lock.

The one incident that nearly ruined my stay at CitizenM was the aggressive sprinkler inspection. I was not notified by email, phone, nor physical note about an inspection. At 9:15am, I was awoken by banging on my guest room door. I went to the door to see two men continuing to bang on the door, saying that they needed immediate access to check on equipment. Everything I've been taught about hotel safety was to NOT open the door to unidentified men. I told them everything in the room was fine and that I would be checking out within the hour. They continued to insist that I immediately open the door, which started to frighten me. I told them I was going to call the front desk to check if they were sent by the hotel. I was surprised that one of the men responded in an angry manner saying, ”FINE, GO AHEAD AND CALL THE FRONT DESK!” The woman at the front desk apologized, said that she too had just found out about the inspection, and said that the men were indeed authorized to inspect the sprinklers. I opened the door and they did a quick inspection. I did not appreciate the aggressive, unprofessional manner in which they demanded entry into my room. Other than that, the rest of my experience was excellent!

This hotel is just old- not old and ”quaint” or ”charming”. Except maybe the lobby. Yes- the bones and the original architecture are lovely. Until you look closely. You can see where the old original walls were and where they've chipped away to open it up. The original doors in the rooms would be beautiful had they been taken care of. You can see the wood-color caulk/fill over nails that no one has ever bothered to stain over. You can see where the old handle/lock plates were- no one has bothered to blend them. The original vent in the shower is caked and gross. The furniture is worn and and scratched up. And no- not in a cool, ”rustic” way, just plain worn out. This is what I can't forgive. You can only throw so many layers or paint or caulk or work at old walls or floors etc. But you can certainly replace aging furniture. Between the old, musty smell and the overall poor condition I kept shoes or socks on when in the room. If you are lackluster about taking care of the hard surfaces- what's lurking in that area rug? Just felt ”ick” overall. The amount of money I paid to say here was pretty upsetting. The staff barely cracked a smile at check-in. He just took my ID and started typing. It took a really long time during which he pretty much never spoke- just stared at the screen while we stood there. He smiled when he handed us the keys- and that was it. The other person was the same to the couple next to us. What's funny was some of the other staff was buzzing around and seemed happy and (possibly?) helpful- put some of those people at your desk. No coffee in the room; tea and kettle only. No coffee in the lobby either. You have to go to their hotel restaurant. There is no luggage rack. I wound up putting my suitcase on the long counter where the tea/glasses were. (Shown in the photo). There is a mini-fridge. We did not look at it. The parking is not covered and caddy-corner to the hotel. It does have an attendant. I am adding this because I couldn't find this info. on their website. And they place their Normandie sign inside the lot by the valet tent. Common sense would dictate you put it at the street; not inside the lot. I will say that the beds were comfortable and the linens were very clean. (Never so excited about the smell of bleach.) The bathroom was clean but the surfaces are old- again you can only clean them, caulk, paint in so many layers. The tub and shower fixtures were worn and chipped. At some point you need to replace old and busted with new fixtures that match the period structure. With the price point of this hotel I shouldn't have to second guess taking a shower. We stayed here to be within walking distance to the Wiltern. We would not stay again. Don't get fooled by the glossy marketing photos. I really don't understand the high reviews. I've stayed in many a small, older hotel where you can appreciate the fine details. Even if not perfect they felt cared for. Age is no excuse for worn out furnishings, smel

I like the room interior very much. Antique and nice. It was like coming to a cafe. The room is clean and the location is 5 minutes by car. I would like to visit if I go back.

Stayed here to go to a show at the Greek Theatre. Room smelled and looked clean enough, but there were stains on the bedding, and we only had a sheet and not a blanket. By the time I realized it I was laying down to sleep and was too tired to call the front desk and ask for one. Free parking was a bonus. The fridge was nice and cold, but there aren't ice machines at the hotel. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. There is road noise ALL NIGHT LONG. AJ, who was working the front desk, was very nice and helpful. Overall, for the price and the reason we were there, it worked!

Clean and very affordable. Also well located: Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the beaches are max. 25 minutes away by Lyft/Uber. Downtown LA just 10 minutes away and LAX is a 30 minute drive. The spacious room has a fridge, tv and comfy beds. Free toiletries and 3 fresh towels every day. Very friendly employees. Free coffee from 7-10 AM. Hotel has an elevator and a parking garage. Smoking is not allowed, only in front of the parking garage. I would def stay here again when visiting LA. Highly recommended!
