Hotels near Paddison Square, Los Angeles

We spent 7 nights here. Located in a country club setting. One side overlooks golf course. Golf course is closed. Pond view (not lake view…only complaint I have) was not desirable as Golf course is going through face lift. Once done it would be awesome. Even without the face lift, we had great views over looking down town sky line from a distance and golf course greenery down below. We got 8th floor which made it so much better. I’d suspect that that lower floors ( all front facing) would still be good. Staff, every one we interacted with, was brilliant. They sure understand hospitality! Facility is pretty new. Lobby is well appointed. Breakfast area can get busy. Waffle station for made it order waffles was a nice touch. Staff was ready to help. We wanted meatless egg and they were willing and able to accommodate. Swimming pool. Fire place sitting areas. Laundry (didn’t use but is supposedly dirt cheap). Gated community like entrance. Parking was full every evening. They have rights for street parking. Just off the freeway. We found this location very convenient. 25-30 minutes from LAX, Disney Land, Down town, Beverly Hills/ Hollywood etc. We opted for larger deluxe room which was so well worth it. We had issues with the pullout sofa. Quick call and prompt response. Issue fixed with a pleasant smile. Like most places you tell them at check in how often you want the room service. Elevators were spacious. Three of them so wait time was minimal. Wi-Fi was pretty good. Beds were comfortable. Great experience!

It's close to Little Tokyo, so you don't have to worry about eating. The room was clean. Amenities were also available. Conveniently located near Union Station. When I slept until about 10:00 in the morning, I was awakened by the sound of a drill, probably because the upper floor was under construction.

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?)

Good location to travel around the city. Parking is expensive USD 63 per night. Good restaurant for meals and high level for city view! Excellent service :)

Great place near the airport. Really enjoyed our stay, shuttle was also prompt. Strange that there’s no kettle but the water dispenser and lemon water was such a great touch! Loved the service as well. Breakfast was pretty decent too with some hot food. Gym and pool were ok

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

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.

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.

2 night stay on August 12-14 during a weekend in Hollywood. Property is located just a couple of minutes from Burbank Airport. Like most airport hotels, the surrounding area is more industrial, but the property is nice with easy access to the freeway. Standard King room. Spacious, nicely redone. Comfortable bed, secured parking if you find a space in the gated courtyard. Standard free hotel breakfast included. Small pool was always in use when we were on property during pool hours. Nice fitness center as well. Just minutes from Warner Brothers Studios, and a quick trip to Hollywood. Once past the airport, beautiful older neighborhoods with small restaurants mixed in with the larger businesses. L.A. area hotels are not cheap, and we did reserve this based on the more budget-friendly (compared to actual Hollywood locations) rates. A solid choice for an area visit.
