Experience Review of These Two Los Angeles Hotels

🛏️ 2025 Hyatt Stay Journey This year, I’m continuing my Hyatt stays 💫 and had the chance to visit Los Angeles, so I checked into two Hyatt hotels with totally different vibes. Here’s my quick take! 👇 ⸻ 📍Hyatt Place Glendale / Los Angeles ✔️ Pros: • Great location—right downstairs are the Americana at Brand and Glendale Galleria 🛍️, with plenty of dining and shopping options. Lots of Chinese, Thai, and Korean restaurants within walking distance. The area feels safe even at night! 🌃 • Stayed here mainly for convenience—the day after arriving at Burbank Airport, we headed to Universal Studios 🎢, and this spot helped save some driving time. • Rooms follow the classic Hyatt Place layout—small living area + bed—clean, functional, and comfortable. 🛋️ • Breakfast includes hot items! Options aren’t extensive, but it’s filling and it’s included in the room rate—can’t complain! 🍳☕ ✖️ Cons: • Nothing super surprising—it’s a reliable, standardized experience. • Good for stacking nights 📊, but not the kind of place that makes you want to extend your stay. 📌 Summary: Perfect for business trips or purely for earning stay credits. The location is the biggest advantage—it’s comfortable and practical. 👍 ⸻ 📍The Shay – A Destination by Hyatt (Culver City) ✔️ Pros: • Super stylish design 🧡—both public spaces and rooms have personality. It’s a fresh, lifestyle-oriented vibe. Definitely stands out among typical North American hotels! • Located in Culver City—clean and safe area, right next to the metro station 🚇. You can reach Santa Monica Beach 🏖️ or Downtown LA in about 30 minutes. A few nice restaurants across the street, though choices are limited. Not a typical tourist zone, but the atmosphere is cool. • Especially convenient if you’re catching a flight—no need to take the highway; just 20 minutes via local streets! 🚗✈️ • Service is about average for North America—friendly and adequate. ✖️ Cons: • Room rates aren’t cheap—better to use points if you can! 💳 • Not a super efficient business hotel—more of an experience-driven stay. 📌 Summary: Not ideal for stacking nights, but great for a weekend staycation! It’s all about the vibe—feels like a mini Andaz mixed with Soho House vibes. 🥂✨ 📌 By the way—I’ve turned my passion for travel and hunting down deals into a side hustle! 🎉 I now offer personalized travel planning services, including customized hotel stays, tours, cruises, and more—all with nice discounts!
