Hotel berhampiran Leo Carrillo State Beach, Los Angeles

Returning to Calamigos for another stay was a bit like coming home. As soon as I was driving there I knew the way and check in was a breeze just like before. I did have some issues when booking my room initially and ended up with an estate room, but when I checked in, I discovered I had been upgraded to a double bungalow. The ranch had undergone a few changes since my last visit and most of the staff was new. There were a few familiar faces which was good to see. The staff took excellent care of me, especially Kurt, the concierge, Connor, the resort manager, and Daniel, the assistant front desk manager. Also all the valets were great, greeting me warmly when I returned and offering me water before I left. The double bungalow I got was spacious with two bedrooms and a massive bathroom. I did have a couple of issues with my room, but the staff was quick to address them or explain the issue (my bed stand somehow broke, not by me, which they fixed the next day after I did a temporary fix and the phones in my bungalow were out due to wildlife). I was able to get in touch with the staff whenever I needed through text and they always responded within a few minutes. I did use the spa again (see separate review) and finally took advantage of the hiking trail they have on the grounds (did make a suggestion about signage). I also used the pool area and was pleased with the prompt and constant service the staff provided. However, I also had a private patio where I could get a little sun in the afternoon just stepping outside. It was another amazing stay and I know if/when I return to Malibu, Calamigos is where I’ll be staying.

Book your trip ASAP- this place was amazing! We were skeptical due to the iffy reviews and I truly have no idea why they exist. The hotel was fantastic- very clean, rooms were comfortable, we had an amazing night's sleep, and the location was INCREDIBLE. The price was very affordable for the area and we felt like we were arriving at a Greek villa when we checked in. I can't say enough about the staff- they greeted us warmly, were unbelievably accommodating and flexible when we needed a bunch of things for our 9 month old, and even stored our stuff after we checked out because we wanted to go to the beach. I left my wedding shoes there and Hamid offered to mail them to us in NYC! Book your stay- you won't regret it!

최근에 리노베이션을 해서 룸은 깨끗했지만 화장실 바닥에 쓰레기가 치워지지 않은채 있었습니다. 밤 늦게 체크인을 했는데 1층으로 방 배정이 되어 만족스럽지 않았습니다.

Amazing stay. We’ve stayed a handful of times at the Waldorf Beverly Hills which we also love, but I think this will be our new go-to Hilton property in Los Angeles as it’s at a much more attractive price point. The service was what really stood out. Extremely friendly front desk, bellmen, drivers, and wait staff. We were celebrating our anniversary and they upgraded us to a beautiful suite and provided treats and champagne. Pool was beautiful and huge considering the area. Food was delicious, albeit extremely expensive which is our only criticism of the property. We are excited to come back.

The staff were extremely friendly and there was security in front door, they lock doors at around 8pm and you can only enter with card so I think they did make an effort in keeping the place a safe place. Location wise there are indeed many homeless wandering around especially after sun sets so I would recommend uber if you do go out but day light time I take the bus no problem

The hotel was clean, and the bathroom was clean, too. It would have been better if there was a table inside, but maybe it’s because I chose a small room ha ha.

Great apartment with totally amazing rooftop views and pools. A bit noisy neighbourhood, but downtown is! Nothing you can’t fix with a pair of earplugs during the night :) We had a car, there is a parking space next to the apartment building, but you have to renew it every morning at 6 am. There is a parking lot about 200m away where you can pay more than one day at the time! Apartment is a walking distance from metro, so it’s easy to move aroud also without the car! There is no reception, but everything went really good with keys etc. and we got help with sms if we needed! Everyone were so friendly and we had really amazing time!

Can see the hotel has a bit long history, though still clean enough, no bed bugs, I am in 1004. Location close to little Tokyo, for Asian like me it’s very cozy and convenient. Price during trade show in convention center is around 200USD per night without breakfast. I am alone and I got a big room with two queen beds. Every day after work I feel warm and peaceful staying here.

This is not an hotel. It's a dorm that rents some of their unused rooms at an hotel-like rate, so you're paying for an hotel service without receiving it. Please, stop advertising this place as an hotel, because it is not. This place has no AC (something that I knew beforehand, and I was OK with that) but the room gets much hotter than the ambient temperature and the fans in the room don't help at all. It would be definitely cooler to sleep outside at night. The whole place is poorly maintained and there is a penetrating stench within the building. You can clearly see stains on the carpet and there was no room service. Management tried to keep a photocopy of my debit card, which is NOT OK and probably even illegal. Management might justify the current state of the building as it being old and historic, but I've been at hotels that are centuries older than this property and they were definitely up to a higher quality of service. If this would haven been branded as an hostal with reasonable prices, I'd give it a better rating without hesitation. But I was expecting and paying for an hotel and your property, services and prices do not adhere to that standard. The only upside is that the staff was friendly and tried its best to accommodate all my requests, so here's a shout-out to them. Sadly, that doesn't make up for the low quality standard that this place is offering. My advice to the management: You should either invest more on your property to elevate your level of service (I've been told that some refurbishing works involving AC installation are expected), or just stop advertising yourselves as an hotel. My advice to travelers: Downtown LA is full of weird people and homeless. Book this place if and only if you're having an emergency and your only alternative is to sleep in the street without a roof, and then move to a proper hotel west or north of the city afterwards. To summarize: Not an hotel, but an overpriced dorm.
