A Super Well-Located Hotel in Los Angeles 🏨📍

Sofitel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills Let me start with a honest take: hotels in the U.S. can be… disappointing. Some brands that are 5-star in China feel like 4-star here — yet priced like luxury 5-stars in RMB 💸 Facilities and service are a mixed bag. Some aspects feel premium (pool, concierge, nice views), while others scream budget motel 🏚️. For example, in my room, I found blood-stained tissue in the toilet 🚽😳 (never seen that in years of traveling!), and no free bottled water — just two empty bottles to fill at the hallway dispenser 🙄. That said, this hotel still has some strong points worth recommending: 📍 Location: Excellent! Right across from the Beverly Center shopping mall 🛍️. A small commercial area diagonally opposite has a supermarket, convenience stores, restaurants, and cafes ☕. Lots of dining options — Western, Japanese, Korean, Mexican — all within a 5-minute walk. Famous Lawry‘s The Prime Rib is just a 5-min Uber away. Skip hotel breakfast — try Eggslut 🍳👌 (opens at 8 AM) nearby instead! Perfect for those without a car. Beverly Hills: 10-min Uber Hollywood / Universal Studios / The Grove: 15-20 mins Getty Center / Griffith Observatory / Santa Monica / Crypto.com Arena: ~30-40 mins In a spread-out city like LA, this location is a rare find! Though there are some homeless people around, the area feels safe — it’s busy, well-lit, and located at a major intersection 🚦. 💁 Service: Standard polite hotel service. Concierge and baggage help were fine — even when I forgot to tip 😬. 🛏️ Room: Booked a Hollywood Hills view room — gorgeous at sunset 🌆. The room was okay; a bit dated but acceptable. Bathroom had only a shower. But yeah…the bloody tissue situation was shocking. I just flushed it and didn’t complain (too tired 😴). 🏊 Common Areas: Modest-sized lobby with a bar 🍹 — quite popular at night. There’s an outdoor pool too (didn’t get to try it). ✅ Overall: Great choice if you want: California-style mountain views 🏔️ Easy access to attractions No need to drive But when it comes to value for money? U.S. hotels really make you sigh 😮💨… #Los Angeles #HotelWithAView #USATravel #BeverlyHills #HotelReview
