I stayed at this hotel for three nights while in LA. Overall the service was good, the rooms were clean and spacious and the location was great for business in the Century City, Hollywood, Bel Air or Hollywood locations.

There are a few downsides to the hotel. The lighting in the bathrooms in horrible. Even with all the lights on the bathroom was really dark. Management tried to help by putting it wall-sized mirrors over the bathtub but it didn't help significantly. And who really wants to have a mirror in that location! Also, the bathtub was shallow -- if you like to relax in a soaking tub at the end of a busy day, this won't cut it. The towels were nice and fluffy with quality amenities.

The spa was also a letdown. I walked down to see about a simple manicure. The women sitting at the desk promised me a call to confirm a time the next day. No call came....until 2:15pm the following day asking if I was running late. Huh? No-one ever called to confirm an appointment and they still tried to charge me.

The room service food was good. They were quick with the delivery and the food was tasty and hot.

The valet service was speedier than most and I never had to wait over 5 minutes for my car to be brought. That is a big plus for them!!!

Overall, a solid business hotel but there are better spots close by that I prefer.

Booked through hotwire for a great rate.
The hotel isn't fit for touristic families. Its clientele is buisiness people, rather than travelling families.
The Hotel itself is outstanding

I stayed at the Inter-Continental for three lovely nights. The hotel itself is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. My room was spectacular and had a huge bathroom. Bedding and amenities were top-notch. I was hooked as soon as I walked in the room and classical music was playing! The staff could not have been more helpful and the spa services were both reasonably priced and so relaxing. As others have posted, the location makes things a bit tricky if you do not have a car. However, I took the bus to Santa Monica with ease and walked to the nearby Westfield Mall. I was beyond pleased with my stay!!

A bit overpriced for the $240 per night we paid (all-in), but overall a pretty swank place to stay. Rooms were clean, gym was kick-ass. Didn't get a chance to use the outdoor heated pool, but it looked nice (albeit a bit too shallow).

Very same and clean area, although there isn't much to do in walking distance either. You're not far from West Hollywood, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Hollywood by car. Your only option is to valet park, which is a bit steep at $30 per day. But you get free in/out privileges.

Breaktast is $20 each and limited in variety, so we ended up going elsewhere for a change of venue. Rooms are clean, but there's no fridge, and even the bottled water isn't complimentary.
