An alternative to visiting L.A. hotel websites and visiting hotel guides is to read Los Angeles hotel reviews. After all, reading a press release from a movie studio isn't the best way to learn about the quality of a movie, as they'll naturally hype the movie up to be better than it is. Reading a review of the movie from a critic or listening to the thoughts of your friends will give you a better idea of the good and bad points of the film.
The same applies to Los Angeles hotel reviews. Other people like you post their thoughts and experiences that they've had at hotels from around the world. Usually you can find out tiny little details that only people who have actually stayed at the hotel will have. One review I read pointed out how the hotel didn't have enough elevators to handle the large amount of patrons going from the lobby to their floor. This made trips up and down in the elevator much longer than they should be, and as a result, quite annoying.
Hotel Hints from Los Angeles Hotel Reviews
Other key points to look for when reading Los Angeles hotel reviews are the experiences dealing with the staff, and with the food services that they have. If there's a problem with your room--such as a burned-out light bulb--you'll want to know if the maintenance crew will arrive swiftly to rectify the problem. If the hotel offers a complimentary buffet breakfast, a review can help you decide what the best time of morning to go is, so you can avoid the crowds and don't arrive too late when everything is gone.
You can also pick up helpful hints from these reviews. For example, if you're a worrier by nature, you'll want to avoid putting the "Clean Up This Room" sign on your doorknob, as it could alert undesirables that you're not in the room. A good tip is to leave the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the knob at all times and call the front desk and request that someone clean the room before you leave for the day's activities. This gives everyone the impression that you're in the room, while still having your room cleaned while you're out.
