"I switched up from my usual LA hotel & glad I did. This hotel rocks. It is beautiful, the rooms are moody & calming. I was upgraded to a suite without asking & the staff were so friendly. The breakfast was also very good. There is a daily resort fee, $18 gets credited to you for meals/drinks daily. Overall clean, safe, beautiful hotel with a great pool."

"This is the only hotel in downtown LA that I will stay at. Clean, safe, great service, great restaurants, great design."

"Unique décor but dark near elevators and in hallways. Room with 2 queen beds was spacious. View on 7th floor of other buildings (some close) and old boiler equipment. Room was clean but bathroom had some mold on shower curtain and tub. Shower/tub had confusing fixtures. Beds were comfortable. Not a smart TV so limited viewing. Location was marginal – okay in daytime but seedy at night. Rooftop pool was a plus. We were charged for an $11 bottle of water we did not drink – was told it would be taken off the bill but it never was."

"In short, would not recommend the hotel for a wedding hotel or event room block due to the unresponsiveness of the events team. The hotel itself itself is quite nice with interesting and visually appealing decor. The suites for the bride and groom had plenty of space and amenities for getting ready for the wedding. The rooftop and gym were well equipped for our guests to relax. The food and drinks were pretty tasty from the restaurant onsite as well. The valet staff was friendly and efficient. However, our biggest issue in recommending Hotel Per La for events or a room block is the events team. They were near impossible to work with and led to quite a lot of stress and frustration in the planning and execution process. The team was beyond difficult to get a hold of in a timely manner (had to email and call multiple contacts multiple times to get replies at each step of the planning journey from start to closeout; people would be out of office with no available backup) and extremely disorganized (would ignore questions or previously held conversation; took weeks to add more rooms to the room block once full; forgot to charge us an initial deposit but then took weeks to issue a deposit refund). Elements of the room block contract were not delivered in a timely manner (VIP welcome gift and meeting planner points) and had to follow up multiple times weeks after the event to get the elements. In summary, I would strongly caution against booking an event or room block at Hotel Per La as a result unless you have an incredible amount of patience and a long lead time."

"I went to the rooftop pool with a Resort Pass. Good deal! Small pool but very nice, bar right next to it and you can order food too. Fun pool floats. I got a day bed and stayed several hours as a birthday treat. You need a wristband for access. Other visitors can go up to eat, drink, and hang out around the area, however. Plenty of places to relax. Friendly staff and good eats."
