Full review

I stayed in this hotel in October 2000 for only 1 night, and to be honest it was one night too long.I dont really believe it was the hotels fault, it was LA I didnot like.If the hotel had been in a different surrounding area I might off been happy.The hotel is on Wilshire Blvd whcih itself is a nightmare.This road is always bumper to bumper with traffic and makes getting into the hotel an nightmare.

The car has a small amount of valet car parking, which you can get into from the side of the hotel.The hotel itself was a fairly standard looking building and one which I would rate as a lower three star or maybe as a higher two star if I was being nasty.

The hotel had a dingy atmosphere, and maybe was a decent hotel in its past, but not now.The check in desks was small with only three counters, this however would not have normally been bad but with slow staff .....nightmare.

We where lucky to get an upgrade to a mini suite, but again the room wasnot very nice.The king bed was lumpy, and the room as well as the rest of the hotel needed refurbishment in my opinion.The main problem was noise of the traffic and air con units in the room.General lack of maintainance was also a problem as both the sink and coffee maker had problems.

Ive stayed at a lot of Radissons in my time and would have said until this hotel that they are an excellant chain offering first class service.This hotel was a let down and should not have the Radisson name, as Radisson is a chain I link with QUALITY and this hotel didnot have any of this!!!.Ths only good thing to point out is that this hotel had a burger king straight across the road...shame the staff there didnot speak english!!!

The hotel did have a small to mid sized pool, but because its next to that major road again, it was not pleasant to sit in the pool area.I didnot eat at the hotel because I had a dinner appointment up with Madonna that night.Shame she didnot let me stay at here pad!!!!.

The price for this hotel was $149 plus tax and excluded breakfast for a standard Double room.
