COBROS OCULTOS QUE NO CORRESPONDEN A LO PUBLICADO POR BOOKING
Pros:

Ubicación y bicicleta

Cons:

En Booking seleccioné una habitación con una sola cama grande (king), pero me entregaron con 2 camas más chicas, las cuales no son tan cómodas como la cama grande.
En Booking decía "desayuno americano incluido", pero luego me encuentro con la sorpresa que no es eso, sino un crédito por USD 40 que se acaba con un plato y un café, es decir, NO es un desayuno americano
LO PEOR: pagué por adelantado, sin derecho a devolución. El precio era total, con taxes incluidos. Al momento de hacer el check out, el hotel me cobró alrededor de USD 230 por concepto de "acceso a los amenities" que proporciona el hotel. Es decir, por tener acceso a una piscina, al bar, etc., que son los servicios por los cuales ya pagué en la tarifa, ahora me cobran de nuevo, de forma sorpresiva y engañosa. "Es que ud tuvo derecho a usar las facilidades del hotel y por eso le cobramos más de 200 USD". Es un engaño!

Another Kimpton Winner!
Pros:

Another Kimpton Winner! We have stayed at many Kimpton properties, including this one in the past, and we have had the great good fortune of positive experiences every time. The Kimpton Hotel Palomar on Wilshire Blvd is located very nearby UCLA. The parking attendants, bellhops, and front desk people are all courteous, professional, and available. The lobby area looks good and smells good, and they have flavored water available in large containers. The decor is sophisticated and also fun with the nod to Hollywood's movie industry. At night, our room was quiet and dark, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom door did not make noise, and the shower had very good temperature control and water pressure. The room was very clean, and towels were fresh and soft. Prices are on the high side. It's Los Angeles. The room had everything we could hope for in a hotel room, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Nice hotel, amenities and parking not included
Pros:

Nice hotel, peaceful and clean room, good amenities (pool, gym, restaurant). Parking is $50 for self parking or $70 valet. I booked an all fees included package and still got charged a $37 resort amenities fee along with $25 worth of tourism taxes at checkout.

I will be back
Pros:

I have already filled this at once. Monika at the front desk was superb and professional, and helped me get my room for an early check-in. I went to the California restaurant in the lower floor and the staff of Carlos, Edgar, and Fernando were fabulous. Everything was great at the hotel!

Cons:

😊I did not have any complaints. Everything was great.😊

We had a fairly good stay.
Pros:

I like the fact that they offered coffee and water in the lobby. Offered a 2 mile radius Uber.

Cons:

I was disappointed that they did not have a hot tub. We had to ask for a coffee maker in a room and usually that’s just standard in other hotels We had to pay for a microwave $45 because my friend has allergies and needed to bring her own food. I was surprised that there weren’t more restaurants close by.

Great hotel. Would stay here again.
Pros:

Excellent hotel. Very well located (straight shot to Santa Monica, short ride to Getty Center, about an hour from Disney). Very nice room, helpful staff, decent bar/restaurant (but walkable distance from a few restaurants), parking.

The one and only thing I did not like was the low (and unadjustable) showerhead. I'm just 6' and I had to bow to wash my hair.

Pros:

מלון מקסים, במיקום מצויין שהתאים בדיוק לצרכים שלנו. ארוחת הבוקר טעימה מאוד. לטעמי המחיר מעט יקר, אבל הייתה לנו חוויה נהדרת.

customer service is terrible
Pros:

hotel itself was great and location.

Cons:

My husband found my diamond hoop earring on the bed and set it on the bedside table right before we left. I called housekeeping and front desk immediately and, instead of going to room to get it, they asked me to fill out some random on-line form and never heard back. Called Front desk several times and they forwarded me to housekeeping and it never picked up. You guys owe me a $1000 earring.
