    What a beautiful ship! We took the 7 day cruise out of the Port of Los Angeles to Cabo, Mexico for 3 days overnight and Ensenada, Mexico with a balcony cabin. The service was great, as it always is with Royal Caribbean. We booked shore excursions ahead of time for e-bike riding and a camel experience. Both were great, however they ended up being with the same tour group company, Cabos Adventures on the same property with the same lunch for both days. I wish that RCL would tell you this ahead of time so that you could vary up your excursions to different spots. The pictures for each excursion was separate since on different days and pricey. We did upgrade one night for Chops Grille and the experience was over the top. Very nice, food was amazing, the steaks were like butter because they were so tender and flavorful. We had the crab cake and shrimp cocktail for appetizer, and filet and rib eye for the main entrees, apple pie with ice cream for the dessert. The main dining room was excellent. Our Waiter was Ahmad "Adias" and Eka was the Assistant Waiter. Both were great, they kept us attended to the nights that we had dinner with their team. They gave us recs on what was good to try and what food options were available to us based on our plans the following day. We always had a pleasant experience every night and they learned our names and anticipated our needs after a couple nights of learning our likes. We also got greeted by the higher level host staff every night welcoming us back again for dinner. Windjammer was our go to when we wanted on the spot snacks, breakfast and lunch throughout the trip. I love that they have staff at the entrances making the cruisers wash hands, which is super important to me. We had lots of options to choose from for ... fresh fruits, yogurts, omelets, cereal, meats, cheese, sandwiches, breads, pastries, desserts, ice cream and so much more. We also ate brunch a few days in the main dining room which was good as well. Our room attendant, Frolian was great and greeted us every morning when we ventured out for the day. We attended one show called Starwater and it was very good. It started off slow but then picked up and had us all engaged. The performers were excellent. This was a pleasant experience that gave me just the right amount of vacation and relaxation from home. RCL and their staff never disappoints when we trust our traveling on cruises with them. We've sailed on other lines, and our vibe just does better with RCL.

    As an avid Royal Caribbean fan, I always look forward to stepping on board, and I spent my birthday sailing on Quantum of the Seas. Overall, I had a blast. That being said, compared to other classes in the fleet, Quantum isn't high on my list of personal favorites. The standout moment of the entire trip was my birthday treatment at the Vitality Spa. I had the best massage of my life. It was pure bliss, ridiculously relaxing, and the ultimate birthday present to myself. If you sail on this ship, do not skip the spa! While the signature Royal Caribbean service, food, and energy were all present, the layout of the Quantum Class just hits a bit differently if you're used to other ships. According to the internet, Quantum was built specifically to handle cold-weather regions like Alaska and Northern Europe. Because of that, huge portions of the ship are enclosed, like the indoor SeaPlex (bumper cars, roller skating) and Two70. If you love sunny Caribbean pool deck vibes, Quantum can feel a bit enclosed. At the end of the day, any day spent at sea with a great massage, good drinks, and shipboard entertainment beats a day on land!

    Although I was initially excited for my first cruise on Royal Caribbean,I have to admit, driving into the Los Angeles World Cruise center parking lot didn't seem very exciting. Ive taken 10 cruises on Carnival and this is my first on Royal Caribbean. First impressions of the boat were I was definitely impressed with the interior of the ship. So luxurious something most of the Carnival ships Ive sailed have lacked. I had the studio ocean balcony as I was traveling solo. My room was amazing. Large balcony, double bed, all the amenities. Food was lackluster when compared to Carnival. No real seafood options, no hot chocolate, just coffee, tea, lemonade and water. I didn't opt for the beverage package. Entertainment was meh. I know this is not considered a "fun ship" but I expected a little more. I did get lots of rest and relaxation though which was most important. But the overall cruise was pretty boring in my opinion. Overall I enjoyed my cruise but will probably stick to Carnival going forward. It was nice to try a different brand of ships at least once.

    Quantum of the Seas. Massive.

    We did a 7-night RC cruise last year aboard the Navigator of the Seas, and wanted to check out the newer, much larger Quantum of the Seas. This was a shorter 3-night trip, with only one stop in Ensenada. Much of the experience was familiar: the excellent service, the very enjoyable Main Dining Room food, and talented entertainers. However, what struck me most was that this much larger ship seemed TOO big. I didn't feel like we were "regulars" when we entered the Schooner Bar, for example. Same name on both ships, but a much larger venue on Quantum. Also, it took me a full 2 days to get my bearings as far as forward/aft and where things were. The bumper cars were cool, and plenty of other recreation like pool tables and air hockey, etc. And we never felt cramped in the pool areas. So size does have some advantages. This was the first cruise for one of our friends and he was sold, so there! We will be taking another RC cruise in the near future. Maybe Alaska?

    I've sailed Royal Caribbean on Navigator, Ovation and now Quantum of the Seas, and I swear, Royal Caribbean does entertainment SO well. I went into this 3-night cruise thinking, "It's a short cruise, there probably won't be much." WRONG. There was a different production every night and they were BEAUTIFUL. The singers and dancers were so talented. The Royal Theater is beautiful too, with comfortable seats, great views, cupholders for your drinks and yes... popcorn! Two70 was probably my favorite space, with huge 270-degree windows overlooking the ocean, gorgeous lounge seating and entertainment at night. Music Hall was another favorite with live music, dancing, bars, lounges and self-leveling pool tables. There was honestly live entertainment happening everywhere. Vintages was my favorite bar. Let's just say I was VERY happy there. BINGO was so much fun and I definitely recommend playing! The guy standing in line right in front of me won $800! Bern, the cruise director, was hilarious and so much fun. Crazy Quest was one of my favorite activities, adults only where we got to see a completely different side of Bern and guests. Definitely go if you get the chance! I also had lunch at Izumi and discovered they have specialty drinks you don't see at the other bars and are included in your drink package! Such a fun little surprise! Boleros was SO much fun with great Latin music and energetic bartenders. BUT... Royal Caribbean, we need to talk about your margaritas. Please use fresh lime! I tried several and just couldn't get into them. I ended up bringing a drink from another bar down to Boleros so I could enjoy the music with a cocktail I actually loved. I preferred the main dining room over Windjammer, and my friend decided we were celebrating my birthday EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, so I got birthday desserts and serenaded repeatedly. One singer sounded like he was about to turn Happy Birthday into an opera. And then there was Pandora! I was so excited to be there for the grand opening because I LOVE Pandora. I've always wanted a Royal Caribbean charm and they finally had one! Obviously I bought it, along with an Ensenada charm. Overall, the perfect little birthday getaway. Three nights packed with amazing shows, musicians, games, food, drinks and SO much to do!

    First trip on the Quantum for my wife and me, and our first at Diamond level of Royal Caribbean's loyalty program (Crown & Anchor Society). We both loved the benefits, but the Quantum ended up near the bottom of RC ships that I've sailed on. My wife and I started out sailing mostly Norwegian Cruise Lines, but I switched over to RC in the last couple of years, taking many trips with my brother when he was taking advantage of his casino benefits (free room, needing to just pay for fees/taxes, gratuities). I got Diamond after my last cruise from Miami, and took advantage of my own casino offer to take a 4 night cruise from Los Angeles to Catalina and Ensenada with my wife. It's a trip that we both have done before on a different ship, so was hoping the ship itself would serve as the destination. The Quantum of the Seas was the first ship in the Quantum Class, introduced in 2014. It was actually smaller in size (double occupancy of 4,180 passengers) than the previous Oasis class, and was built to cruise in colder climates (e.g. Alaska). Two features of that was the expansion of the Solarium (an indoor pool area that maintains a warmer temperature in cooler climates) and the Two70, a multi-level, indoor entertainment venue at the rear of the ship, with floor to ceiling glass windows providing 270 degree panoramic views. Two other features introduced in this class were the 'North Star' observation tower, a 14 person capsule at the end of a 135 foot crane, allowing folks to see up and over the edge of the ship (think great views while cruising the Alaska glaciers) and an escape room. We got an ocean balcony guarantee (meaning RC chooses the balcony room for you). We ended up with 568 on Deck 9, and it was a good assignment, meaning near the front of the ship, and close to the elevators. It was far enough away from the restaurants, sports deck, and theaters to not be affected by their noise at night...but the outdoor balconies will bring in noise from the other balconies. There were young kids next to our room, and it wasn't difficult to hear them playing/crying/etc. The room had a sofa, and two doubles put together to make a King. A cleared out mini-fridge could be used to keep beer/wine cold. The temp in the room was well controlled using an actual digital thermostat. The bathroom was good, with an enclosed shower with good water pressure and temp control. The flat screen channels included espn1 and 2, special event channels A - E. 3 children channels (6 months to 3 years, 3 - 11, 12 - 17). 3 News channels (BBC, CNN, Fox). Movie channels, BBC HD (my wife really likes British dramas). On the Quantum, the soft serve is mid-ship on the pool deck and usually had a line (moving quickly). An attendant is manning, with choice of vanilla, chocolate or swirl. I tend to compare all soft serve to McDonald's, and this version wasn't nearly as good (a bit icy). As for the pizza, it came from Sorrento's (located inside near all the shops), made fresh on-site, thin crust style, and usually served by the slice, with a few choices. We had it multiple times (open late), and tasted good, especially with a beer from the nearby pub. This ship does have a Deck 13. 14th deck (pool deck) has the buffet in the back, and the indoor pool in the front. Deck 15 has the spa, sports center (SeaPlex) along with hot dog stand, rock climbing wall, jogging track and video arcade. Deck 16 has the fitness center. The jogging walking track on deck 15. There are two classes above the Quantum: the Oasis Class (Central Park) and the Icon Class (AquaDome), and I will admit my rating for the Quantum was influenced by the comparison to its younger, better siblings. But beyond that, there were some real issues: -- The WiFi on the ship did not function properly for most of the trip. It was a known issue and affected both passengers and crew. -- The elevators were wonky, sometimes not letting you choose a certain floor. One time, we got stuck for a bit, thinking I would need to press the alarm button. It fixed itself, but completely skipped the requested floor of a fellow passenger. -- The quality of the food throughout was very extreme. I had one of my favorite dishes on any cruise here: Buttered Filet of sole on good jasmine rice with perfectly cooked vegetables. And the buffet items at the Solarium buffet were solid. But other dishes were bad: overcooked and gummy rice, dishes served cold, lack of flavor overcompensated by too much salt. -- refilling water bottles: very difficult, almost intentionally so. Servers and attendants were fine, with most trying hard. As usual, RC sends out an email survey to ask for input, right after completion. It was the first time I actually wrote as many negative things as positive for a RC trip.

    Completed a five day cruise with an overnight in Cabo. The cruise was phenomenal. There was so much to do and I'm positive that we didn't do most of the activities/restaurants. When we first boarded, we ate at Two70 but never returned because there was so many other options. I saw the noodle soup but also didn't try. My favorite thing onboard was the sushi making class. Plus laying out on my private balcony.

    12/19/2025 - The food from a main dining room on this 4-day cruise on the Quantum of the Seas from 12/15/2025 to 12/19/2025 has a stark contrast to the same 4-day cruise from 11/17/2025 to 11/21/2025 with the same Executive Chef. on board. For example, the French Onion soup this time can be rated as 5 stars, as shown in the uploaded photo, and the New York steak went from a 1- to 2 stars in Nov. 20, 2025 to 4 stars rating in Dec. 18, 2025. What's the change? Staffers we met are great, working very hard to earn our ratings.

    This 12 year old ship has great amenities. My 4 night sailing from LA got off to a great start when there was no waiting to board. A large bar/lounge area at the back of the ship doubles as a performance area. A Cafe adjacent to this space has a Starbucks and was one of my favorite places on Quantum. The largest indoor game space at sea, Seaplex, is impressive. Bumper cars, basketball and roller skating are among the activities. There's a hot dog stand within the seaplex that is convenient. I ate at the buffet a few times, and loved the Starbucks there. It was so busy in there that I usually ate elsewhere. The buffet had a nice aesthetic. The enclised solarium was pretty great, with 3 small pools that look impressive but are just for lounging. The 2 sets of 2 hot tubs offer a great view from the front of the ship. A bar in the solarium had great bartenders and a $6 margarita happy hour daily. I never had trouble finding a lounger in the solarium. A buffet restaurant within the solarium was ok, my dinner there was fine. I didn't know it was a buffet. The creme brulee looked good but wasn't. The fish was ok and the salads were good. The pizza place was pretty good and convenient. My cabin was an extended window at the very front of the ship. It had a coach and pretty nice bathroom and lots of storage. Disembarking was pretty quick also. This was a great four nite cruise.

    If I could give 3.5 stars I'd say that's more accurate. It wasn't quite 4 stars but it was a decent experience sailing with Royal Caribbean for the first time. The boat was clean and employees were constantly walking around tidying up the place. The rooms are decent, cramped but decent. Staff were always friendly and available. The activities for kids were fun but there were so many things offered that they had short windows of time. I wish they offered maybe less options and longer time frames for the ones they did offer. For example roller skating and bumper cars were very popular but they'd only be offered for 2 hrs so there would be time for other things also for 2 hrs. There were constantly people getting in line for these activities and then walking away severely disappointed bc the 2 hr window ended so they stood in line for nothing. The food was decent. Nothing to write home about but the main dining room food was far better than the buffet food. The buffet is huge and overwhelming with sub par food. The pizza place was not too bad either. The 24 hr cafe had sandwiches but they were always bone dry. This cruise is decent for a booze cruise over a weekend. Not for like a honeymoon or quality vacation. I was not rested when we came back home haha. For some reason it's not letting upload all my picture (missing: menu and food selections from night 1 in the main dining room).

    First time on Royal Caribbean Quantum of the seas. Cruise cards on this ship no medallions. You'll need to keep with card with you to make purchases and especially when visiting a port. Lanyards are available for purchase. You'll need the app for easy access to ur boarding pass, daily schedule, reservations and texting other shipmates. Your Dining room deck and time will be on the back of ur cruise card. Spacious shopping areas, Venues are incredible, sound quality and tech are top tier. Vocals, musicians and performances were amazing. You can make a reservation prior to cruise departure date for dining at restaurants like wonderland. It was a fun experience. It's a bit confusing how to order. Basically from the Earth and Sea selections you can choose one main course. The top three sections are tapas apps which you can choose or they'll just bring the pre fixe items out. Really enjoyed the halibut main course. Liquid lobster was the fave appetizer. Whimsical and entertaining. Will try others next time around. Some areas in the staterooms need updating but overall was a good experience.

    A short cruise to see if my boyfriend liked the experience. He did. The crew did an amazing job. First class Al the way. We did a specialty restaurant each night and Itsuni ws a 10 out of 10. The steakhouse was okay and Wonderland was mind blowing. For the money this short cruise is hard to beat.

    See all

I was always welcomed whether it was someone opening the door as I entered or the people at the reception. My flight arrived early and they were accommodating to provide me with an early check in.

The bathroom has a separate walk in shower and separate tub. Where I feel this place is a bit outdated was the lack of USB ports for charging. The desk had an outlet built in but one of the power sources was not working. I had to do some work and needed to plug my laptop into the one working plug. But I also needed my cell phone and wanted to keep it charged. I had to unplug the lamp to use the power supply. There is another plug on the nightstand but that would have meant leaving the phone on the other side of the room and I needed the phone while I was working. But because I had to unplug the lamp, I had to work in the dark (it was evening). I can't remember the last time I was in a hotel room that didn't have USB ports so you could charge your phone at the desk and at the nightstand. I could have called the desk and I'm sure they would have given me another room but I was all settled in. Movies; this is the first time I have been in a hotel of this caliber where you had to pay for movies. Certainly I have been in other hotels where you pay for "some" movies, but not all. Usually there is free Showtime or HBO. No, I didn't travel to watch a movie, but sometimes it's nice when winding down in the evening or to have on in the background when working. They did offer some recent movies and even some that I think are still in theaters. Of course I would expect to pay; but most other top named hotels I would be able to watch movies for free. They do provide the opportunity to log into your Netflix and/or Amazon account.

I was there for a five night stay. First of all, the location is at the edge of Little Tokyo, so there are lots of good eating places. If you feel like taking the Metro rail system to explore Los Angeles, there's a station a couple of blocks away (the E Line will take you west to Santa Monica). Unfortunately, there are a number of homeless that wander around the area, but not too many, especially compared to the Garment District further south. As far as the rooms go, the beds are very firm and comfortable. Air conditioning/temperature control worked well. I was surprised there was no microwave in the room. Just about every hotel has a microwave in every room but not this one. Bathroom was small with only 2 towel hooks; it could have used a couple of towel racks because there was nowhere to hang all the different towels (bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths). WiFi was strong and didn't have to login constantly. Only 3 out of the 4 elevators were working, which made for long waits, especially since the elevator cars were so small. Many of the ice machines were out of order, including our floor (7th), 17, 20, and 21 (construction on 19th). Had to use ice machines on 16 and 18. And there was only an out-of-order sign on the door to the ice machine on the 21st floor after I made a complaint. The parking fee of $49 per day for guests seems excessive, especially when there was a day where the self-parking ran out of space (I think because there was some sort of convention at the hotel) and we couldn't do self-parking. $25 per day would seem more reasonable. The hotel seems to be very popular with tourists, especially those from Japan and Korea who were there to watch a baseball game (Shohei Ohtani is very popular), so it's a bit busy during baseball season. Quite a few tour buses parked out front. And the valet area is very small for pick-ups and drop-offs.

    This Doubletree has a great location. It's in Little Tokyo, so you know there's plenty of good food…read moreand things to do nearby. It's also walking distance to Grand Central Market and the Metro A and E lines. As for the hotel itself, it was overall nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable. However, we did have to switch rooms near the end of our stay due to some plumbing issues that affected a few rooms. Although inconvenient, I thought it was handled well. We were quickly placed in a new room at no extra charge. We had breakfast at the restaurant once (mainly for the convenience) but didn't care too much for it. There are so many better options nearby. Overall, a positive experience.

    I stayed here recently for a work event, so I did not pay attention to the price of the hotel room…read more But the room was spacious with a comfortable bed. The shower water pressure was strong and liquid body wash/shampoo/conditioner was available. I am a Bonvoy member and got free access to an amazing breakfast buffet. I was in too much of rush to order individual items off the menu, but the premade items were delicious. I took a video of all the food items, but it looks like there is a time limit of 30 seconds for video uploads. That just tells you how many buffet items there were, since it took me more than 30 seconds to record everything!

    Absolutely loved our day at the JW Marriott rooftop pool thanks to Resort Pass!…read more Check-in was easy but take note: you must check in at the hotel lobby first to get your key card for pool access. Once there, our cabana was perfectly set up with a personalized name stand--a great touch. The cabana was spacious with comfy seating, a mini fridge (stocked with 3 waters, 3 sodas, and a complimentary fruit platter), plus fresh towels, lounge chairs, and sunscreen available for everyone at the pool's front desk. A couple of logistics to know: parking is valet only at the hotel and it was $65, so I recommend finding a smaller, more affordable lot in the surrounding area if you want to save some money. Staff was so friendly and attentive the whole day. There's a QR code you can use to order food and drinks right to your cabana, which was super convenient. It was a hot day and a really nice gentleman kept stopping by to offer extra ice--such a thoughtful detail. Bathrooms are just outside the glass pool enclosure (key card needed for re-entry), but they're large, spotless, and even have showers. The pool itself is big with a separate jacuzzi and you get stellar views of the LA Live area from the rooftop. Watching the sunset from up there was the perfect way to close out our day. We're officially hooked on using JW for our pool days and will definitely be back!

    Really unique hotel. Very responsive staff via text and phone call. I love the aesthetic…read more The vanilla late and the matcha the barista made us during our arrival / check in were incredibly good. That vanilla latte was exploding with flavor, haven't had one that good in years. I am very satisfied with everything. The location, the room design itself and the overall value was incredible. Love this place and hopeful I get to try the restaurant later today if time permits.

    Really 4.5 but rounding it up to five stars. The lowest rating on here is currently at two stars…read moreis not wrong. There are issues. For example, one of the light fixtures in my room didn't work. I also had issues connecting to the Bluetooth speaker as one disgruntled reviewer mentioned, but no problem. I just was able to play music through the TV which I don't know why that reviewer didn't think to do that. Also I was fine just playing music on my iPad. The room in terms of design did not disappoint. I booked this place as a staycation option to get work done and with the minimalistic aesthetic and minimal distractions I was able to accomplish what I sought out . Overall, the mini perks like the free waters, which were brands that I normally purchase as well as the welcome drink helped to make up for the minor issues with the room. It's a boutique hotel . I think if I did paid more, I would be more upset and also expect more but given this price point, during low season it's a fair price . Michael, who was working the reception desk and Café was also very friendly and welcoming, and answered my questions to the best of his ability . Overall, the people that work here are really lovely, especially Kofi and Felix , great job hiring managers! I would book again without hesitation for the right price .

    4.6/5 -- Apparently I Came to Montebello to Sleep, Eat Waffles and Consider Golf…read more Home2 Suites by Hilton -- Montebello, CA Stay: 9/8/26-9/10/26 This was easily the best hotel I stayed at during my Greater LA trip, which surprised me because I arrived expecting "perfectly functional Hilton." Instead, Home2 Suites apparently decided to operate a small republic of comfort next to a golf course. First, the place understands both introverts and extroverts. You can self-check-in and reach your room with minimal human ceremony, or deal with the friendly staff if you actually enjoy speaking to mammals. The lobby is modern, clean and relaxed without looking like somebody hired an interior designer specifically to intimidate people wearing shorts. Across the street is a pond, palm trees, the Montebello golf course and driving range. If you can get a room facing that direction, DO IT. My window view looked like Southern California had briefly cleaned itself up for a brochure. After temperatures hit roughly 104°F, the complimentary shaded underground parking also became less an amenity and more a humanitarian service. My room was huge, clean and unusually comfortable, with a kitchenette, sink, microwave, genuinely large refrigerator and plenty of living space. The bathroom has a sexy minimalist thing going on, with a roomy glass shower. The bed and pillows? Dangerous. I checked in around 3 PM, got comfortable, started watching TV, skipped dinner entirely and eventually fell asleep around 11:30. I had apparently ceased being a tourist and become a house cat. The TV also allows access to streaming options including YouTube, Apple TV and Max-type apps, although the regular television channel selection is fairly basic. Then breakfast happened. Breakfast runs 6-9 AM, criminal hours for civilization, but this was easily the strongest hotel breakfast of my Southern California trip. Eggs, sausage patties, potatoes, pretzel-style breakfast buns, pastries, bagels, cereals, cheeses including Swiss, Pepper Jack and cheddar, yogurt, fruit cups, oatmeal and a small botanical garden of oatmeal toppings: granola, dried banana, cranberries, brown sugar, almonds and coconut. The oatmeal itself deserves recognition because it remained oatmeal rather than hardening into municipal infrastructure. Then there are the waffles. You can construct your own, and apparently surrender all remaining nutritional dignity by applying chocolate chips and red-white-blue sprinkles until breakfast resembles an elementary-school election celebration. Fresh fruit toppings/compotes were available too. Coffee was strong and hot; juices included apple, orange and strawberry-kiwi. I also appreciated seeing both regular milk and oat milk. The breakfast room is attractive and comfortably seats a decent crowd, although mornings can become LOUD. Apparently several guests awaken at 6:30 AM already possessing complete conversational agendas. The gym is legitimately useful rather than the usual hotel punishment chamber containing one treadmill and a dumbbell somebody stole from physical therapy. There are multiple cardio machines, weight equipment and dumbbells reaching about 75 pounds. Very clean and nicely arranged. The indoor pool area was clean, although visually I found the pool itself rather dainty and uncharming. It exists. It contains water. Congress need not investigate further. Now for the deductions. The walls are thin. One neighbor's phone alarm went off around 5 AM. Another apparently believed television should continue into the wee hours. On the opposite side, somebody snored like an overfed cow negotiating a mortgage. One night around 3 AM I also caught the smell of marijuana from outside. That happened only once, but congratulations to the nocturnal skunk delegation. The shower was the other weakness. Water pressure was maybe 6/10, and after roughly ten minutes the floor began backing up because the drain moved with the urgency of California freeway construction. It took around 15 minutes afterward to clear. Yet despite these quirks, I couldn't punish the hotel much. The room was too spacious, the bed too comfortable, breakfast too good, parking too useful, gym too competent and that golf-course view too peaceful. So mathematically I land around 4.6/5, which I'm happily rounding to 5 stars. I would absolutely stay here again. Next time I'm bringing golf clubs because staring at the Montebello course and driving range from my room without playing it started feeling like unfinished business. Home2 Suites Montebello wasn't perfect. It was better than that: comfortable, useful, occasionally ridiculous, surprisingly peaceful and the kind of place that made leaving feel mildly inconvenient. Thanks for a great stay.

    My family and I stayed at Home2 Suites by Hilton LA Montebello for 3 days while we were visiting…read moreSoCal. Our stay landed us on the 6th floor with quite a view. Our room faced the rear of the hotel overlooking the golf course and consisted of the beautiful lake. The room was spacious and clean, and fully equipped with things that make you feel like you're at home: plates, cups, bowls, utensils, + a full sized fridge. Bonus points because complimentary breakfast is offered daily. Hours of operation M-Fri are from 6am-9am. Weekend hours are from 7am-10am. This is absolutely THE BEST complimentary breakfast spread I have ever had the pleasure of taking part in. Granted, most places I've stayed @ doesn't offer this. Here you will find a waffle station with all of the toppings you could imagine, eggs, ham, sausage patties, assortment of cereals, yogurt, fruit cups, and fresh fruit. While I am not sure how great the options are for a vegetarian standpoint but I did notice meatless patties. My complaints: 1)The lighting within the room are positioned horribly. Whether you decide to use the restroom light or the ones located in the dining|kitchen area as a nightlight, they are both extremely bright making it difficult to sleep. My toddler and I struggled to sleep soundly due to us being sensitive sleepers. 2)Someone triggered the fire alarm during our stay. Walking down 6 flights of stairs with a toddler is already tough but adding in groups and groups of other patrons caused for more traffic than I was ready for. Once we made it back to the lobby we were told it was a false alarm. **insert EYE ROLLS emoji** 4 stars overall. Our stay was comfortable and parking was never an issue. Home2 Suites by Hilton LA Montebello comes recommended. I'd stay here again but would probably bring eye masks for myself and my toddler.
