Excellent Italian Pasta Restaurant nearby. Did not eat in hotel restaurant
Coffee and tea on 2nd floor was lovely
Only complaint is they never reached our room for cleaning until just before 5 which was when we were returning from our adventures of the day.

Unfortunately, not a great start of the holiday. Upon arrival and check in, the hotel tried to charge me for my stay with them again even though my stay at the hotel was paid in full, when booking this holiday, about 3 weeks before my arrival. They tried to tell me it was not paid. I had to show them all my documents to confirm my payment has been made. The person at the check in hardly apologised and said I could go to the second floor for a glass of wine.
Hotel it’s was great. My only other issue was the my room was not cleaned every day and I had to call the reception about this.
I spoke to the hotel manager my last night I spent here and he was great.

Very clean room and great bathroom with separate tub from shower. Friendly, helpful staff. Poolside rooftop restaurant/bar with great view was the best! We had dinner Friday night poolside overlooking the Hollywood hills and then returned the next morning for breakfast. Good food! Restaurant staff was delightful. I would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay. Only thing I wished for was a stationary bike on premises, but they do have an association with a gym a few blocks away. Thanks for a great stay!

we just stayed at the Kimpton and it was fine. the rooms were clean but a lot if the fixtures (lamps, desks, table) were a little run down. What was MOST infuriating was when when we checked out they told us that there was a $35 daily amenities fee tacked onto our bill. PLEASE NOTE there were ZERO amenities. when I asked the person at the front desk what that included he said coffee and the gym. Mind you I NEVER even knew there was coffee available, when we checked in NOBODY told us that. I even asked for a water bottle one day and they informed me that they only give them at check in. More Importantly THERE WAS NO GYM!!! you could go to the gym down the street, however it was pouring rain every day we were in Los Angeles!!!! Just be transparent in your rates, there is NOTHING more infuriating than hotels sneaking an extra BS cost onto the already high enough cost because they want to squeeze few more dollars out of you. Amenities fees are for hotels that OFFER amenities!!!

The sheets feel cheap and almost plastic, like they might be waterproof?

They were very confused and uncommunicative at check in- she took all my information, then told me to wait a minute and walked away into a back closet for almost 10 minutes. Multiple other staff walked to and fro and not one asked if I was being helped. She came back and I asked what was going on, and she said she wasn’t sure if housekeeping was done yet and couldn’t get an answer. I asked if I could go up and look or just drop my bags and change because I had to go to an event, and she said no and that’s not allowed. I asked if there was another room they could upgrade or downgrade me into, I’d be happy to pay the differences, and she said she didn’t think so. Then walked away again. It was all very confusing and the entire process took almost 20 minutes. It would have been less confusing if there was more communication or acknowledgement from the front desk that it was not a great experience.

Although near the art museums, the neighborhood is sketchy. We liked the room. It was large and clean.
As we were packing to go, we heard a series of earspliting alarms coming from inside the building. It seems that the fire alarm system was being “tested”. No warning was given to the guests and it was only 9 am. We remarked on this when we left and the staff issued no aplogy.
Also, we had some really awful oatmeal in the rooftop restaurant.

A hidden gem of a property - I wish I could have stayed more than one night! I got upgraded to a suite, which made it all the harder to leave. Wonderful staff reception, lovely amenities, very comfortable bed with nice choice of pillows. I didn’t have time to take advantage of the nightly complimentary wine bar, but did enjoy a lovely breakfast looking out at the Hollywood hills. I was visiting a relative who lives close by and was delighted to have such a great hotel option in walking distance.

Love the comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. The hotel has a really nice coffee bar at the lounge that includes a Nesoresso machine. One thing I did not like is their small elevator that does not fit their luggage cart so pack lightly.. Also their valet only parking garage only allows one car to go in or out so you might have to wait for another car to pull out before you can enter.

I think it was Expedia’s fault that when I showed up the double room I booked was not available. Had to spend 100s of $ to book an additional room. The hotel staff kind of tried to help but at the end was not very helpful. Both Expedia and hotel blaming the other. I am done with Kimpton and with Expedia. Forget about customer service for them.

Hotel was fine- but not great. Room wasn’t ready until an hour after check in time, we put our card out to order breakfast in the morning and no one ever picked it up, so we were late getting out the door having to wait to order breakfast, room hadn’t had housekeeping by the time we got back at 3pm and they seemed surprised we wanted housekeeping to happen…Overall it was clean and located where we needed, but surprisingly as service.

We had a great stay at the Kimpton Wilshire. A highlight was the location, which had great walking access to Hollywood attractions like the Academy Awards Museum, the Petersen Automotive Museum, and the Grove.

The rooftop pool/restaurant is a nice feature as well. The drinks, food, and view are great, and LA people pay a lot just to have the chance to use this facility that guests enjoy, including a discount on the restaurant as part of the amenities fees.

They could use nicer plants in their Plant Pals program, but that's nitpicking and overall it was a great stay, and the staff was quite friendly.

I have stayed at my share of 4-star hotels, and this was not a 4-star experience. In fact, there are 3-star hotels that deserve a higher rating in comparison.

Pros:
- The hotel is located in a safer neighbourhood relative to the DTLA area and provided easy access to our destinations.
- Considering it is on a busy road, it was very quiet and we were not bothered by any noises.
- Modern and well-kept.
- Ample bathroom counter and shower space.
- Has cute little rooftop bar with great cocktails.
- Very polite valet service.

Cons:
- We stayed for 8 nights and were only given one pair of slippers. When we asked for a second pair, we were told they were out of stock and would have to wait a few days. A few days went by and when we asked again, we were told they didn't stock slippers. (??)
- No pen/penpad in the room, and it was difficult to get in touch with the front desk when we needed assistance.
- Room service removed our water glasses one day and left us without any. When we called the front desk to ask for some, they were delivered after two hours.
- There are a number of hidden fees to watch out for, in particular the $46/night valet parking, as well as the $25/night service charges (which include WiFi).
- In-room snacks were outrageously priced.
- Staff were polite, but not extremely warm or helpful.

Overall, was it horrible? No. However, I'm astounded at the level of service and lack of basic amenities for a hotel with a 4-star rating. Would not stay here again.
