Hotels near Cactus Garden, Los Angeles

Loved the vintage feel from the moment I walked in to the hotel! We stayed two nights and loved our experience. The front desk staff was friendly and greeted us by name whenever we saw them. They recommended we visit the Santa Monica Farmers Market, which my wife loved. A short drive led us on an impromptu trip to the beach! We appreciated the cozy feel of the hotel and its location centralized to everything we did!

Vanessa from Housekeeping decorated my room with love before me arriving with the help of Rebecca from the front desk. Amazing team that’s what they are. I absolutely love all the hospitality they given us. Breakfast was awesome too things to choose from. Armida in breakfast area is great. Kept the dining area super clean and she is very hospitable. Thanks to the entire team for the hard work they do. Working in the hospitality is a hard job but all these amazing people made it much better for me and my significant other.

Nice clean and quiet despite being on busy Pico Blvd. I did have a room away from Pico so I'm sure that helped. Super clean, great shower and comfortable bed with fluffy bedding. Room came with a cute kitchen area. Convenient to Big Blue Bus stops which are fabulous for getting around Santa Monica and surrounding areas. I plan on staying here again!

We stayed for Xmas and it was basically an empty hotel which was nice. Parking is convenient. Everyone was nice, we needed some plastic forks for our food and they had them at the desk. Due to Covid I assume no one can come to the room. When I when to use the restroom I had noticed that they had not replaced the toilet paper, not cool. Makes me wonder how CLEAN and sanitized it was. The out door patio is nice, and cool view for Xmas lights.

The hotel is close to UCLA. There is a bus stop downstairs. It is very convenient to go to Beverly Hills. The lobby is luxurious, there are bars and restaurants, health rooms, swimming pools, etc. for an additional fee. The room facilities are good. Overall satisfied 👍

Perfect place for a shuttle airport hotel! Shuttle very 15 minutes and a great place to prepare for a trip. Pool and bar is nice. Spent way more on drinks and food than I imagined but not much around… it was fair in the end. Great bar staff.

Great experience! Service was excellent and hotel amenities were more than satisfactory. Will definitely be going back

Time Travel Luxury: A Week at the Biltmore Los Angeles Seven nights at the Biltmore Los Angeles wasn't just a stay; it was a Hollywood immersion. Stepping into the iconic lobby, sunlight streaming through stained glass, felt like walking onto a silver screen set. The Singapore flag, a proud symbol of the hotel's heritage, added a touch of unexpected charm. My room, though undeniably classic, surprised me with its modern touches. High ceilings and original moldings whispered of old Hollywood glamour, while the plush king bed and sleek bathroom ensured pure comfort. History buffs like me revel in every corner of the Biltmore. Strolling through the opulent corridors, I imagined the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Clark Gable gracing the same spaces. Sure, the Biltmore isn't your average modern hotel. But for those seeking timeless charm, impeccable service, and a unique historical experience, it's pure magic. If you yearn for a touch of Hollywood history with a dash of modern comfort, the Biltmore awaits with open arms, ready to write your own chapter in its storied past.

The location is very convenient, 5 minutes walk from the big supermarket and gas station, the hotel is clean and hygienic, warm and safe, especially the boss and his wife are very hospitable and welcoming, responsive, gave us a lot of help, will come to stay next time!

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?)
