Just a quick stopover for an overnight flight - the shuttle was easy and the hotel is close to the airport. The front desk staff was really friendly.

The Biltmore Los Angeles
Terrible experience. They charged $250 in hidden, extra charges above the room rate. The water in the shower was not hot even though the sink water was hot, so obviously the shower fixture is broken and has not been properly maintained.
