What guests think

Wilshire Crest Hotel draws praise for friendly, accommodating staff, spacious rooms, and a convenient, walkable location near museums and The Grove, while recurring drawbacks include very basic breakfast, no on-site parking (street permits only), and occasional noise.

The vibe is simple and boutique, with many finding the rooms comfortable, while others mention dated touches or small TVs. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from spotless stays to reports of hairs, dirty corners, or stained carpets. There is no elevator, which can be a concern for those with luggage. Overall, expect a straightforward, well-located base with solid value and limited frills.

A small but well maintained hotel. Very clean. Quality towels and bedding. My bed was too hard. Thin walls. Free parking on the street. Passes to park in no parking zone out front. Overall half the cost of new hotels a block away.

It’s a simple hotel, nothing fancy, but has a hotel feel to it - definitely not a “motel” type of hotel. It was very clean and comfortable. Walls are thin, but it was not an issue. Front desk person was nice. Simple check-in/check-out. Parking is a little difficult on the small street, but it worked out. Be aware there is no elevator, so if you’re on the 2nd floor, you’ll have to carry your stuff up the stairs. I’ve got a bad back, so that was hard but not the hotel’s fault, just something I need to think ahead for next time. The sweet little breakfast bag outside the door in the morning with filled with bananas, biscotti, muffins, madelines, and yogurt! Nice touch!

This is an LA hidden gem !! The place itself is very unsuspecting, but once you’re inside, it has a very comfortable feel. The help at the front desk was great. The room itself is very comfortable. You don’t feel cramped when you’re in your room. There were two small downsides to this stay. 1). The distance between the bed and the TV is a little far. It makes it hard to watch things like sports because you can’t always see all of the action. So the TV needs to be bigger for the room. 2). There’s not a parking lot or a parking structure. The hotel is located in a neighborhood. It’s street parking only!! To make sure you don’t get towed, they give you a parking pass to put on your dash. Other than that, it was a great stay!! This was a business trip for me. I will definitely come back again.!!

The property is published as having a "free offsite parking". This is not true. The parking is on the adjacent streets, subject to availability.

Hotels was fantastic and very neat. Room was clean and well maintained. Lobby and grounds were immaculate. Only 2 complaints here actually 1) Parking it’s street parking only( no parking charges though) and 2) TV , no local channels and or movie channels, ie HBO or anything like that. But these are the only complaints

Very nice and the location is very convenient, specially for people that are going to the Brazilian consulate or Germany consulate. The only downside is the parking . You gotta park on the streets and there is a lot of rules like move your car before 9 because sweepers goes in that area every Monday and tuesdays…

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was large and comfortable. The breakfast offerings were slim, but made a perfect snack to hold off for a big meal later in the day. I liked the little courtyard, and the location was out of this world (I enjoy walking, and everything I wanted to do was within a coupleof miles of the property). This was a clean, low key, enjoyable hotel.

The room was very clean, comfortable very quiet, hotel, considering you’re only one block of a Wilshire. They have the coffee machine running 24 hours a day and their breakfast is simple but good enough to get going. We were there for an event down the road so it was very convenient and we walked to the event and walked home after midnight and was safe. There are some homeless around the area, but it didn’t pose a problem for us

This hotel was very affordable and we felt safe and slept ok,and the AC worked well. The beds seemed to be pretty cheap mattresses, and although firm, it was like you could feel the springs and hear the plastic/vinyl every time you turned over. The shower was fine but the walls had hair all over them! The carpets were pretty dirty but the linens were clean. The breakfast was all pre-packaged foods

The hotel is in a safe area, with multiple public transportation and dining options. The staff is nice and polite. The bed was comfortable, and I appreciated the different pillow options. The room was spacious, and the bathroom was very clean. They should consider replacing the carpets. The one in my room had multiple big stains, and the carpet, in general, was definitely not clean. The air conditioning units are very old. I tried to use mine and it immediately smelled like mold, so I had to turn it off, but it was a very hot evening. Very uncomfortable. Breakfast is just packed bakery, bananas, yogurt and oatmeal. It is a good option if you have something to do in the area. I wouldn't give it more than 2.5 stars, but the most important thing for me is that I felt safe and could sleep well.

This is my second time staying at this hotel, and I can confidently say that both experiences have exceeded my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the customer service was outstanding, every staff member I interacted with was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Their friendliness truly made a difference and added a personal touch to my stay. Our room was spotless, well-maintained, and perfectly cooled, something I really appreciated given the L.A. heat. It felt like a refreshing escape at the end of each day. Both times I’ve stayed here, the overall atmosphere has been so comfortable and relaxing that it genuinely felt like a home away from home. Another huge plus is the pricing, both of my visits were very affordable, especially considering the quality of service and accommodations. I’ll definitely be rebooking whenever I’m in the area again. Highly recommend!

The breakfast was a cold one with many options (banana muffins, blueberry muffins, a few kinds of cereal, a few kinds of Greek yogurt, brownies, oatmeal, juice, milk, coffee, tea). Parking was on the street and you get a permit when you check in. The room was very spacious!

We stayed in room 104, 2 double beds. Both beds were noisy, like a wood on wood sound. Pillows were good as were sheets and covers. 104 is on the street side, Fairfax, a main drag so traffic noise. We ran our A/C fan on constant to drown out noise. It’s not terrible as my husband didn’t notice but I’m a light sleeper. The room is spacious. The tv is small. Lighting is great. It is an older hotel, boutique like, nothing fancy. The door to our room needs refitting. The included breakfast is simply sugar (packaged muffins, cookies, nutri-gain bar, yogurt, carton orange juice) all high sugar. There were bananas. No hot side or any type of protein. Good coffee choices for keurig. Carton milk and small creamers. Our floor was sticky in areas. The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood. It’s a very basic motel and that’s all we needed. You can’t beat the price for location, convenience, walkability, and closeness to cedars, the grove and farmers market, auto museum and more. I will stay here again. Most other hotels in the area are double the price. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Not the newest hotel but decent-priced in good condition near touristy things to do. More of a boutique two-story compact property in a good location. Slept fine / had room overlooking courtyard, but mattress was not the most comfortable. Have not had breakfast yet. Parking permits received upon check-in. Parking is not easy to find on street. Walked north through cute small hacienda style neighborhoods to Whole Foods. Felt safe but few people walking around.

Overall nice place, great location, and very conveniently located for visiting places like the LACMA, Academy Museum, and La Brea Tar Pits on foot! If you're looking to explore Wilshire, book your stay at the Crest!
