Hotel Angeleno

10/10 Excellent
"Well, in LA parking really stinks. But if you book a room for $200, just know the parking is $50. Don't get me wrong, this is our favorite place. But after Covid, nothing goes down. The food on the 17th floor is great. But don't get happy hour horedouves. It couldn't satisfy a 5 year old. I love the people so much, but to keep regulars, consider having what makes people happy. A decent priced 2 hour happy hour with a taco bar and $7 beers. It would make people return for not much money. You need a fun person in charge that isn't just $$$."
