The Los Angeles Athletic Club - Los Angeles

This guest did not leave a comment.

This hotel has great potential. The rooms are gorgeous but the overall impression is lessened by mediocre customer service. I will say the beds are extremely comfortable. For fitness minded guests, you could do no better as the entire club is at your leisure. I recommend the hotel if in the downtown corridor. The service was overall average. An improvement […] in the service would go a long way to having a better product. Read more

Parking is challenging in downtown LA

I will be staying here again and hopefully often!

Great old building housing the LA Athletic Club. Parking around corner is simple with direct access into the Club/Hotel. The pool, basketball and workout facilities are flawless, the old world charm is great. However if you are more into the modern style hotel this is likely not the place for you. Across the street from great restaurants and bars, […] Bottega Louie, Mas Malo, Seven Grand, LA Live, Staples Center, etc. All that downtown LA now has to offer is within easy walking distance of the hotel.

This hotel presented a great change to the normal "box hotels" - having the history around it and the members in the health club being such an interesting group added to the allure of this hotel. Granted.. not the most updated or "cool" place... , but to those lovers of historic elegance, a great place to visit.

This is a great hotel. The service, amenities and gym are outrageous. My room, while really nice, was very loud. There was a ton of street noise (sirenes, back up notices, loud cars, etc) that permeated the room and kept me up quite a bit. But in all, I'd highly recommend this hotel. Check out the rooftop deck for amazing views of LA.

Had no idea this hotel existed. The place is awesome. LOVE IT! definitely coming back. great for a business stay. not ideal for tourists.

The connecting doors between the rooms are awful. Very very awful

LAAC is a great hotel in its own rite, and is usually substantially cheaper than other high-end hotels in Downtown LA. While the building is older, it is well-maintained and the rooms are immaculate. Due to the age, you'll get a bit more street noise than a newer hotel, but the inside corridors are very quiet.

You're good if you go one block right... but one block to the left puts you in a sketchy neighborhood. Great amenities. While it's only 7 miles to West Hollywood... 7 miles in LA is 1:45 minutes. I would have walked it faster.

If you need to stay in Downtown, this hotel is a great option. Their parking rate ($12 per night, self-parking) is much more lower than comparable hotels. They offer a complimentary breakfast buffet with enough options for a full breakfast, and it's served in a nice cozy dining room. Hotels guests have free access to the fitness facilities, which are […] great. Read more

My husband and I like the LAAC because it's uniquely historical and has great architecture. The rooms we have stayed in aren't huge, but they are very comfortable and well-furnished, like a traditional gentleman's club. It's so different from a regular chain hotel, we really get a kick out of it. The front desk staff is excellent--we love Ernie--and, […] for us, the location is great. It's near fabulous bars and restaurants, the metro, and near some of our favorite neighborhoods like Silverlake. The two drawbacks I can see are the price, which can be quite high, and the downtown area. We enjoy big cities, but someone not used to urban core areas might not feel comfortable. Read more

While driving here, the neighborhood has little to be desired, but once we got in the hotel we were very pleased. The rooms were modern and sleek (although ours was a little small). Bed was very comfy. Did not have time to check out the gym/pool area but wish I had! The checkout was later that I'm used to and the parking was the cheapest that I could […] find in the area, so those were other bonuses. The breakfast was ok - nice buffet with couple of options. Staff was good. Would definitely stay again..if I decide to splurge :) Read more

The room wasn't terribly clean when I checked in and my desk lamp didn't work but the hotel staff were very friendly and addressed these issues quickly. The bathroom could stand some upgrades (chipped paint, no water pressure) though! The athletic facilities are fantastic- as is the "free" breakfast- and for anyone doing buisiness in downtown LA, this […] is a great place to stay. Read more

Postives: excellent breakfast included, rooms are nicely renovated, price is reasonable. Negatives: Dicey neighborhood, room was not thoughly cleaned (trash from previous guest was still on floor and closet shelf!), AC in room is extremely loud so you might want to shut it off. Overall, a worthwhile place to stay if you need to be in downtown LA.

We stayed here on our honeymoon. The room was amazing along with the fitness amenties the hotel offers. My only complaint is that we stayed here for our honeymoon during the week when the hotel was definitely not even close to full and they declined to give us an upgrade. We asked since it was our honeymoon but they wouldn't do it. They were one of […] the few hotels we visited that didn't offer us anything for our special occasion. The room was still amazing and we would definitely stay there again. Read more

great room- and great included breakfast. very pleasantly surprised- would book this hotel again if I had to be downtown LA

The room was quaint and in a great location. The restroom was a bit less clean than I would have hoped, but was overall pleased with the ambiance of the room. As a late sleeper, I appreciated the coziness of the room and the drapes that nearly completely black the room out. View was nice and staff was incredibly friendly. I would certainly go back.

The hotel is centrally located for any business downtown and just one block from the Los Angeles Meto stop at Pershing Square. The rooms are clean and updated, the staff very friendly and parking is only $12 per day. I really liked the rather old fashioned athletic facilities but the locker and shower areas need serious updating. It's a great bargain […] when you factor in the breakfast buffet with made to order omlette station which is included with your nightly stay. One caveat, the neighborhood at night is not the greatest, downtown LA has a ways to go in gentrification. Also if you are looking to go out to the Beach cities or down to Orange county, traffic to and from downtown is pretty bad. On the plus side, the growing network of subways, trains and light rail connections means easy access to Hollywood, Universal City, Silverlake, Chinatown and Pasadena. Soon there will be a new light rail line to the Sea but the initial section opening this fall will carry you as far as Culver City. Read more

My husband and had dinner plans downtown L.A and this hotel was within walking distance. Comfortable for both him and I. Staff was very friendly. Would definitely stay here again soon!

Great room, very comfortable and super clean ;) thanks!

Wonderful service and nice to be around the old traditional setting of an upscale hotel. The pool and gym can meet most private clubs standards. Included breakfast was beyond the everyday but rather brunch level. Highly recommend!

With the increased liveliness of the area, the LACC has become a very good destination, especially for the traveler desiring an excellent workout facility. The club is much more homey and comfortable overall than your normal hotel. It feels like you are in LA, rather than in just another hotel chain where you could be anywhere. And because of its central […] location, it is in walking proximity to LA Live/Staples Center/MOCA/business district/everything. And the breakfast is giant and wonderful. Read more

We did not mind staying in the hotel. Unfortunately, you would not want to walk outside the hotel. The area is skid-row.

The LAAC was very clean and the bed is very comfortable. The athletic facilities were outstanding. The bad news is the room was a closet. The bathroom even smaller. The staff were very nice but acted like they did not know how to take care of their visitors. The bellman gave no info on how to use the facilities such as the TV/ Cable setup, there was […] no indication that there was no resturant or room service unless you met their time schedule. I called for room service in the morning and the response I got was that they could do it but it would be cheaper if I just came down to their resturant. If you like to eat late at night, get somthing to drink other than water out of the bathroom sink ( not even a coke machine) or want room service this is not the place. This place is clean and comfortable but does not have the amentities of other hotels. I am speaking of a coffee shop and room service. The parking is great though. $12 !!!!! Read more

very nice hotel - USC rate for parents. healthy breakfast buffet included

Upon arrival, we were absolutely blown away by the Los Angeles Athletic Club hotel. It doesn't look like much from the street; just another building with a green awning. From the very first step in the lobby, it was clear this hotel was a great find! The staff was extremely courteous and efficient. The room was gorgeous, the bed and pillows were beyond […] belief comfortable, and the bathroom had an actual bathtub. LOVE IT! Breakfast was included with our room and it was the best included breakfast I've ever had! Weekday breakfast includes made-to-order omelets with more ingredients than I could imagine. If maintaining a workout regimen is important, this is the perfect hotel. The LAAC originally started as an athletic club so the workout facilities are absolutely first-rate. We had access to cardio equipment, weight machines, free weights, group exercise classes, and all types of other workout equipment and tools. They have two pools available and full locker rooms that each include their own gift shop with very reasonably-priced items. The only catch is that because it's a separate health club that happens to have a hotel surrounding it, the health club's hours are not as inclusive as many other hotels (health club doesn't open until 8:00 weekend mornings and closes at 5:00 pm on weekends). This hotel is very conveniently located for access to the Metro system, whether you need to catch a train or bus. We only had a 2-block walk to the train station, and a max 10-minute ride to Hollywood. Overall, this was a truly fantastic hotel, and the perfect kick-off to a honeymoon. I would definitely stay at the LAAC again. Read more

Room was comfortable, although I could, at times, hear conversations in the next room. Not much of a view from my room. Location was great, and access to the LAAC was a huge plus. And parking was very cheap. Overall, I would consider staying here again.

I love this HOTEL. So much to do inside of it. The staff is very nice and helpful. The rooms are very clean and updated. We were greated with fruits in our room. I think the hotel is pretty fancy for being as old as it is. I know the area isnt that great (at night) but during the day its GREAT.. Shopping close by and so are the fashion districts. I […] would stay here again for sure. Read more

I've always stayed at the Westin Bonaventure but decided to give the LAAC a try and so glad I did. The price was about 1/3rd less than theBonaventure and the parking is only $12 a day. AND a pretty good little breakfast is included for the price. All the staff I interacted with were very nice and helpful. Cons: the bathroom is on the small side and […] not as updated as the rest of the room. That's it. This is our new downtown spot! Read more
