Generaly a good stay in LA dowtown
Pros:

The room size was very large and confortable

Cons:

The facility has two doors to 2streets. To one street there is only exit, no entrance. When you arrive with luggage to exit only door by Taxi it's difficult to reach the entrance on the other street.

would not recommend
Pros:

Just Ok, nothing special

Cons:

The Room and hotel are a quite worn with use. Scuffed furniture, carpet in room that seemed dirty. Edges of carpet have not seen a vac in months if not years...No convenient charging options, only an extension cord on the floor that one has to dig out from under bed.

Great club and pool, the hotel can use a refresh
Pros:

It used to be my absolute favorite place to stay in LA, both because of the fun decor and an amazing athletic club. But now the rooms look a bit tired, the breakfast is no longer included. The club is still great, but they charge $$$ for an access

Cons:

$$$ for breakfast, club access, and parking

So much fun!
Pros:

This was my first experience at any athletic club and the atmosphere was amazing! I felt part of history, surrounded by photos of athletes of old. I enjoyed live jazz and great drinks at the bar, I was transported to another time. There was a secret stairwell, fun to explore! The suite was cozy and plenty of fun for…activities. The view was awesome, and even more so on the roof. Staff was very helpful as we hand an administrative issue. They helped us solve it quickly and politely. A very interesting place to stay!

Would Return Again
Pros:

Great customer service the entire time me and my girlfriend stayed. Melissa was our first impression of the hotel, and she was very kind! We also went back to the front desk because we forgot a toothbrush and they provided some at the front. The view from our room was great, and there is access to the rooftop which gives an amazing view of the city. The location is near many things downtown including lots of activities and food places. Reason for the 4 star is that the bedsheets had an old smell to them, the walls are quite thin in terms of noise, and a few minor cleanliness things around the room, but overall the room was relatively clean.

No hassle experience…
Pros:

I have stayed here in the past and the gym facilities and nostalgia bring me back. This time around I was checking in fairly late and Melissa at the front counter made everything so simple. Would recommend to those in town for business or couples looking for a night or two somewhere without the kids.

Best staff experience in LA
Pros:

Amazing facilities and very welcoming staff. Truly the people made the experience for us. Shoutout to Melissa at the front desk who made sure we got the most out of our stay and instantly set a very warm and friendly tone for our weekend. We were so impressed and are now considering signing up for a membership because of it.

Did not disappoint
Pros:

Good location if you want to be within walking distance of sites of downtown LA. Room was fine- clean and nice sheets. Not fancy but certainly met our needs. The athletic facilities are amazing- and worth a stay just to use them. Pool was beautiful. Lots of working spaces in the building. Bar/restaurant with lots of sports history and leather furniture. Good bar food and cocktails. Hotel rate was easy on the purse.

A slice of Los Angeles history!
Pros:

The Los Angeles Athletic Club far exceeded our expectations as a perfect place to stay in LA! We work in the music industry and were here for the Grammys, and it was the perfect place to land at the end of a long day. It’s beautiful and full of interesting historic detail. The amenities are wonderful. But best of all, the staff members really take care of of the guests. Bryan, Melissa helped us several times, always with a smile and great, caring attitude. Jasmine was great too. Five stars from me!

Spændende hotel med referencer til OL og elitesport
Pros:

Smuk, spændende indretning. Central beliggenhed lige midt i Downtown LA tæt på Metro med forbindelse til LAX
Fantastisk fitness og svømmehal.

Cons:

Morgenmad serveres i en café - hyggeligt men vi foretrækker en ‘hotel morgenmads buffet’.

Amazing!!!
Pros:

Maravilhoso, lindissimo! Cada andar uma surpresa, vale a experiência. Imperdível o espaço do quarto andar, parece cenario de filme. Tem rooftop com uma vista incrível de downtown a noite.
Para quem gosta de esportes, é imersivo.
Os corredores e elevadores mais lindos que já vi.

Cons:

Colchão está na hora de trocar. Não estava ruim, mas dava para sentir as molas, se fosse um hotel simples ok, mas foi o único aspecto que destoou de toda sofisticação.
Estacionamento caríssimo de 40 dólares por dia, mas todos em downtown são esse preço.

Cons:

The hotel was fine and I would give it a rating of 7.5, maybe even a 8 but there is an issue between the hotel and booking.com in terms of invoicing so be careful if you need an invoice for billing purposes. This issue has definitely influenced my low score.

Pros:

Nos alojamos con mi familia durante una semana, todo excelente, la atención, la ambientación y las instalaciones son muy recomendables. Estuvimos recorriendo todo Los Angeles, y no pudimos disfrutar más de todas las comodidades y las instalaciones deportivas en profundidad, pero la cancha de básquet y el gimnasio son excelentes. Todo de acuerdo a lo previsto. La ubicación geográficamente es buena para recorrer la ciudad, no tan así para pasear por los alrededores.
