Hotels near Pike Park, Los Angeles

The K mattress & pillows were very comfortable. The room was very spacious & quiet. Cynthia from front desk was very accommodating for my request & had a great stay. The staff were friendly, courteous & efficient. The gated covered parking came in handy for the storm & I appreciate they have 3 well functioning luggage carts for guest use. Gateway Towne Center is within walking, 1 block to Best Buy, Marshalls, etc.

Recently stayed for 5 nights and chose this hotel after reading reviews on comparative hotels in LA (I researched a lot!), which all seemed to be mixed but this looked more consistently positive. I was very happy with the hotel, which I’d class as a strong mid-tier option. Positives - modern and new - room was spacious and clean - location suited us as we had a car to drive around and visit universal, Disney, the coast and West Hollywood (anywhere you go in LA requires a lot of driving and traffic) - plenty of car park spaces - parking rate per night ($12) was very reasonable given many charge $25-50 - room rates seemed competitive and included breakfast - gym and pool options, both clean and modern Negatives Non really, could do with a toaster machine to save queuing for a couple of minutes in the morning and the selection isn’t huge but nothing major. All round a great choice and I’d happily stay again.

The lobby was very nice and the staff was very accommodating. However, the bedrooms were a bit older than what we saw in the lobby. The shower head proved to be a bit of a problem for a nice hotel experience since it had a unique design where I had to pull the lever out in order for water to come out compared to the usual twist levers. The water pressure was also not that great since it seemed that water was not dispersed evenly through the shower head resulting to a poor leak in how water was coming through for the shower. It would have been a more pleasant experience if this shower problem was fixed. I also noticed how the towels were turning grey after use from the shower? I'm not sure why this happens but it was mildly concerning.

I stayed in the four points by Sheraton while visiting LA. The hotel was nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is right by the LAX airport also. The deposit was 350$ and you have to pay 50$ for overnight parking in my opinion thats outrageous. I ended up getting my deposit back pretty quick. I chose this hotel being that it was a decent price but having to pay the extra 50$ for parking made it pretty pricey and had me thinking I could of stayed at a nicer hotel for the price I payed in total.

It don't take very long for the shuttle to come (compared to other cheaper hotels in the airport area). The room is alright, but not great. I first was assigned a room connecting to the other room where I can hear their TV. I requested to change and the second room has some napkin left beside the telephone...I asked to change again and the last room is alright. I actually asked for a kings size one bedroom but they've ran out and offered me a double bedroom. The facilities in the hotel are not new, although it's well maintained. The swimming pool is extremely small (I guess in the US it's only a pool, but not for swimming). The pool is under a large bridge so it's not exactly enjoyable, plus the water is not quite clean. It's good that you could watch the flights over your room window and it's quiet at night.

Location - located on Figueroa Street across the street from the USC campus. Proximity to USC is the biggest winner for this Radisson. Accommodations - The lobby was basic, one story with a small front desk and small pool antey. The gym was basic with 2 treadmills and 2 ellipticals and weights up to 35 OK lbs.. The rooms are decent size and well maintained with nice decor. The bathrooms can stand to be updated though. Service - The front desk folks are OK but the hotel policies really bring it down overall. We stayed at the hotel during move in week and weekend (5 days 4 nights) but were not given a water bottle like everyone else, that was weird. We received some Amazon boxes while there and were charged $5/box after the 3rd box but were not told in advance from the hotel that they would charge us, so they basically held the packages I ordered for my daughter's move in hostage.

Could easily be zero stars. Original room was 93 degrees upon check in, the air conditioning unit was poor by anyone's standard, we asked to switch rooms. They did not offer to come get our bags, or move us to a new room so we brought our luggage back down to the front desk. We were then given a second room. Again, no offer made to accompany us and see if the new room was up to standards. This room was 92 degrees upon entry. After a second phone call, they sent up staff to change the filters on the AC unit. That team told us the AC was functioning well and blowing cold air (it was blowing cold air as if you had a few ice cubes in your mouth and blew on my neck) and to use the blackout curtains (after a sort of condescending explanation of what blackout curtains do) and give it some time for the AC to work. We went out to dinner for about two hours and came back to a nice cool 87 degree room. We once again took our belongings back downstairs. We were then told by the front desk staff that since we booked a room with a king size bed all of those rooms faced the sun and would all have similar problems (why would that be an acceptable answer?) and they could do nothing more for us since they accommodated us once already. I had no idea their idea of accommodating someone was to put them in a room with the same problem that the previous room had but what do I know, I am not in the hospitality industry. We were then told that the hotel was completely booked so no further ”accommodations” could be made. We asked for a refund and this is the first time they reacted with some conviction, they were happy to let us leave. Must be nice to be able to turn away business. At no time were there any apologies, any remorse, just matter-of-factly let us leave. My wife and I don't argue or yell, we never feel its worth it, but we left angry and hotel-less on a Saturday night in Los Angeles. We scrambled to find a new hotel but the damage was done, they took our entire Saturday away from us, which no refund could ever compensate for, they temporarily took our joy to be in town on our own as we are parents and do not get much time away. We did take our business elsewhere, to a Hilton, they seem to understand that to relax you need a room that is slightly cooler than a sauna. We were able to salvage the remaining days of our trip. Also the elevators at the Freehand are old (charming?) and constantly in use because of the rooftop bar so it took us waiting for a few packed elevators to get up and down to the hot AF rooms which probably added to our level of frustration. But it was mostly the Sahara like environment of the hot room. Did I mention the rooms were hot? Also maybe use a free hand to open a book on what hospitality looks like, I think your staff may be surprised. (see what I did there?)

At ten o 'clock in the morning, the attendant knocked on the door and asked if we needed to check out and clean the room. This will wake us straight from sleep. When we needed an extra bottle of mineral water, we were told that the check-out time was only ten minutes away, so we could not be provided with extra water.

Very clean hotel with very spacious lobby and rooms. Great reception with kindness. Parking was convenient with a fee. Many restaurants around the area.

The best value for money, especially if you are going to Universal Studios. This is a mom-and-pop shop run by a Japanese aunt in Hong Kong. It has a very large space and a safe environment. There is a supermarket within a 3-minute walk. It takes 18 minutes to drive to Universal Studios and 35 minutes to Hollywood. It is also very clean!
