Small hotel, comfortable room with fridge on the second floor, with help taking up our cases (no lift). 5 minutes' walk to the bus, LACMA, Tar Pits and Automotive Museum, 15 minutes' walk to The Grove, the Farmers' Market and CBS Studios. Adequate breakfast

We stayed in this hotel only for two nights. The location is perfect and it's a short walk from The Grove, 2 blocks from LACMA, few blocks from 3rd St. Following the reviews I read before booking, I expressly asked for a room on the main floor. The room was clean. The only "disappointment" was that they didn't have any... More

How this hotel ever managed a 4.5 rating is inconceivable. My wife and I just spent a night there, and we certainly will never go back. There is NOTHING to recommend it. The tank on the commode wouldn't fill - twice. I finally discovered it "repaired" itself when I turned off the shower. Figure that out. We couldn't get the... More

Now, staying at hotels in the US is vastly different to Europe. You have either the really fancy ones, priced accordingly, or you have to lower your expectations radically. The Wilshire Crest Hotel is a nice enough hotel, with a great location, at a fair price. Stayed here for two night May 2013, which turned out just fine. Nice gentleman... More

There are things to like about the Wilshire Crest. It's location on a quiet street close to museums and accessible to major thoroughfares are a real plus. The staff are friendly - and the room I had was large. There are things that need improvement though: peeling paint, worn carpet, and worn out chalking give the appearance of a room... More

We stayed at the Wilshire Crest for 6 nights, and found it to be great for the price. We had a car which made it easier to get around, but the hotel is not far from the Hop on Hop off bus which was handy for a day of sight seeing. The room was a really good size and was... More

We heard a lot negative reports from friends and colleagues about the hotels in LA. But we can't agree with them. We had a very nice stay. The service was very friendly. The room was very good (nothing to complain). Price and location were absolutely ok. It's not very far to the sightseeing locations from Hollywood. Next time gladly again!!!

We stumbled upon this place by accident. The staff, both front desk and cleaning, could not have been more helpful. Although the owners were away at the time we were there, they had obviously created a culture of customer satisfaction being important. The room was clean and kept so every day. Breakfast was adequate (more than, actually). Location near the... More
