The Wayfarer Downtown LA, Tapestry Collection by Hilton - Los Angeles, California

I stayed here for a work conference, and the location was perfect, within walking distance to LA Live Square and the conference center. Unfortunately, the rooftop bars weren’t open during the week (Sunday to Wednesday), which was a bit disappointing since they looked so fun to have a cocktail at. That said, there were plenty of other things to do and see around the hotel, and it’s also walkable to the shopping area. While parts of LA can be dirty, other areas are quite nice, so just be mindful of where you go. I loved the unique style of the rooms and lobby—it had a fun, kitschy vibe. The team was welcoming and friendly, making for a great stay.

I had a wonderful stay here at The Wayfarer! The entire property is absolutely stunning and unique. My room was very clean and comfy; I slept soundlessly on their plush bedding! Melissa at the front desk was an absolute joy and made sure my stay was perfect; she upgraded me to a lovely double queen suite and I couldn’t have been in anything better. Mark at the rooftop bar was amazing, he was attentive and even brought out some tasty beignets with a candle to help me celebrate my birthday; thank you so much for being so kind! I’m already planning another visit to LA and this hotel will be my choice of stay. So perfect!

This is not a 4-star hotel. I would call it a 3-star hotel.

1. The staff were very friendly and courteous. I have no complaints with them.
2. The rooms feel dated and not at a 4-star level. The unfinished ceiling with flame retardant does not feel like a good decorating choice as it just seems dirty.
3. The water pressure was poor. If you are waking up early, it may take greater than 10 minutes for the shower to warm-up.
4. Outside my window on the fourth floor at the rear of the building, the neighboring building has trash dumpsters. All three mornings at about 4:30am, this was picked up by a truck including compacting. It lasted 10 or so minutes. I would like if the hotel would work out with the neighboring building not to do this or figure out some other resolution.
5. The location is good being very close to the convention center.

I would likely not choose this hotel again. Not the fault of the staff, but a larger issue.

Save yourself some comfort and headache. Tons of better hotels nearby. One of the worst hotel I’ve stayed in. Our room is very noisy, hotel staffs didn’t try to remedy the situation. My wife made a mistake booking from a third party site, Wayfarer Hilton will not even consider being loyal Gold Hilton member. If you want a have a good vacation stay away from this hotel.

Overall, the hotel isn’t too bad. They don’t offer parking, but parking is readily available next door. The location is great if you’re going to see a show at the nearby theaters. Additionally, the rooftop bar is nice - good views and drinks.

However, from above, outside and the rooms next door, there is no escaping the constant noise; the hotel (perhaps due to the design) has done a terrible job with noise insulation. I specifically chose a top floor in hopes of not having to deal with added noise above me, but it backfired, as I had to listen to the restaurant drag chairs and tables around to set up… and then again at the end of the night to put things back. This was accompanied by the next door neighbors, who must’ve brought a speaker to listen to music; they really enjoy country music at a high volume. And when paired with outside noises (trucks, motorcycles, etc.), you should not anticipate being able to get sleep.

That being said, if you plan to be up all night and party, the cheap rates will likely make this a great choice for you.

We will not return.

I can only review the Fork N' Film event they were holding here. It was really nice, it was downstairs in what seemed to be a very private room and space. It was perfect for the event. I felt like we were in a secret area. I loved watching a movie and eating the foods that were in the movie. The hotel itself I can't really say, the lobby was big and empty and there was a bakery area that served the biggest chocolate croissants that i've ever seen in my life.

Perfectly usable, clean and quiet hotel room and good service. However, some of the specific room design decisions are just dumb and hurt functionality, for the sole purpose of making the hotel more bougie. Hopefully they will consider changing some of these in the future:
-Light above computer desk is pretty much ornamental and is about as bright as your phone on minimum brightness.
-Computer desk has a glass top which interferes with mouse function.
-There are giant decorative eyes on the blackout curtains. Doesn't bother me much, but I know some people who it would bother.
-Bathroom nightlight does not have an off switch, and it shines through the frosted glass wall to the bedroom at night, defeating the purpose of the blackout curtains.
-Bathroom motion sensor switch activates light when walking outside the bathroom (presumably sensing you through the mirror).
-Very unintuitive dimmer light switches which have low maximum brightness.

Chris working security was so helpful! Such an amazing time this hotel gave me. I came down for a quick 4 day vacation and this hotel did not disappoint! Great front desk hospitality as well. And rooftop is not open everyday, and sometimes closed for private events, but it is December so that is understandable. I will be coming back summer for sure! Thanks for the great experience!
