Hotel Normandie

Very facinating historical building. You can see the time in the hotel and this kind of vintage hotel is a good start for the trip in LA. LA and Hollywood attactions are quite near, if you have a car. Neighbourhood doesn’t offer much activities, but it is quite peaceful. Valet parking were not expensive, but it could be complimentary. Breakfast were good, not European level, but we had a good start for the day. Staff was friendly. The only minor disappointment were laundry service: clothers were not cleaned well and unfortunately we noticed this after we checked out. But it can be also misunderstanding from our side, because we might have given wrong instructions how to clean our clothes.

Very, very clean.

The room looked nothing like the pictures. Carpets were filthy and the entire hotel smelled like old rubber tires.

The rooms are small...but that should be expected in a historic hotel. Regardless of size, it was comfortable. Overall we loved this place. Service was amazing, people fantastic. My only issue was the restaurant. Not very many food choices and options in the neighborhood are limited. I felt a little trapped on Diner Island.

The hotel was above a very loud bar, there was also a bar across the street and I couldn't sleep most of the night. I asked hotels.com to change my hotel and the hotels.com customer service person was really rude and all in all it was a really bad experience.
