Hotel Angeleno, a Joie de Vivre Boutique Hotel

Great Value

Location is convenient but can be a bit noisy as it is practically on the 405. If you need quiet this is NOT the hotel for you. Staff is friendly and check in / check out was quick and efficient. The room / bathroom was clean. The restaurant / bar appears popular - busy each night. Room service was very good and timely with a less than 30 minute wait at 7PM. Parking is $20 plus tip daily but the service is fast and even with the room price the daily rate really is the best in the area. Parents of UCLA students - this hotel is on the residence hall side of campus - short drive on West Sunset to Bellagio Dr and you have quick access to "the hill". We will stay here again.

Great hotel, can be noisy due to the freeway

The hotel is in great overall condition, the rooms are nice and comfortable, and the restaurant & bar on the 17th floor is nice as well, however due to its location, the rooms can be noisy. My first room was on the 15th floor, and was on the side of the hotel facing the freeway. Unfortunately, the noise from the freeway was louder than the air conditioning unit in the room. I requested to be moved, and they did move me to the other side of the hotel on the same floor, that room was much quieter. Also, if there are more than two of you, you will be cramped. I don't think I have ever stayed in a smaller hotel room (both rooms were the same size). This hotel does not allow you to park your own car, they valet it only, which they charge you for each night (shows up on your check-out bill). Overall I would say that it is worth staying there, but I am not sure I would stay again. Noise is a big issue for me, and the first room made me realize that it is possible to have a bad stay because of the noise.

Great Hotel for the price

Location was ok, some guests mentioned traffic noise, personally I didn't experience this at all. The room itself was extremely comfortable. A short drive from LAX the location did have very easy access to LA and surrounding areas. Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the LA area.

Great room and very comfortable but far from everything

Hotel claimed to have the best views in LA. However, all we saw from our room was the 405 freeway and haze into the distance. Fortunately, it is very soundproof, so the road noise doesn't come in the room. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. I was concerned about the valet parking, but the valet staff were top-notch and helpful, and the cost not unreasonable for over-priced LA. Biggest complaint was the need to drive for everything. Fitness room closed at 11, which is odd considering it's in its own building, so noise shouldn't be an issue. The fitness room was boiling hot -- I turned the A/C on, but it was only barely cool by the time I finished my workout.

Wonderful Surprise

We were very pleasantly surprised and loved this hotel. We are already making plans to use it on a future trip, we are exploring ways to visit other Joie de Vivre hotels in other locations. We, and my wife is usually not impressed with hotels, felt the decor and room comfort was excellent. Service was friendly and immediate, room service quick and delicious and location extremely convenient. Loved it.

Would stay there again!

This hotel was in a convinient place for me, close to many things around L.A The decor was beautiful and very "IN" The bed was comfortable and room service was a plus. The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is because the shower would fluctuate from hot to cold water and by the time my boyfriend got in only extremly hot water came out. But I would stay there again. Maybe the next time the shower will be fine.

Cute, convenient, overall good service

The hotel basically met my expectations, and I generally have pretty high expectations so that's not so easy. Clean, chic, and comfortable. I had one front desk interaction that was less than stellar (she made it seem like I was crazy to even ask if early check-in was an option), but overall everyone else was polite and accommodating. I was only there for one night so I don't have a ton to say. I did not check out the bar but I heard great things from those who did. It was convenient to where I needed to be (a wedding in the neighborhood)but I can't comment on how it would be for someone who's there as a tourist. One thing that I was happy to NOT notice was highway traffic noise. Either I was just that tired or the windows did a great job of blocking the sound, but I slept like a baby.

Great location for business travel

The hotel is located coveniently next to the Freeway in the Westwood section. Perfect if you have to drive south to Long Beach or north to the San Fernando Valley. Very friendly and attentive service. Good restaurant on the top floor with excellent views. Parking is a bit steep at $16 per night.
