Our family of four recently spent a night at the DoubleTree by Hilton near Little Tokyo, and our experience was, on the whole, satisfactory. The hotel certainly met our basic needs, though it didn't leave a particularly strong impression one way or the other.
The highlight for many, I'm sure, is the location. Being within easy reach of Little Tokyo was a definite advantage, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the local culture and cuisine without much hassle.
The room we had accommodated our family adequately, it felt a little tight on space for 4 people as we had 2 people on each of the queen beds. The cleanliness of the room was commendable, but the overall aesthetic and furnishings felt somewhat dated.
An example are the TVs - they aren't smart TVs but have Direct TV so it felt very 1990s. Most hotels now you can scan your YouTube account or log in with Netflix.
Service throughout the hotel was generally efficient and courteous. Staff members were helpful when approached, though interactions were more functional than particularly warm or engaging. Check-in and check-out processes were straightforward and quick.
We opted to explore the diverse dining options in Little Tokyo rather than eat at the hotel restaurant.
In conclusion, the DoubleTree by Hilton near Little Tokyo offers a dependable option for families seeking a conveniently located hotel. It provides the standard amenities and service one expects from the Hilton brand, but it lacks a certain spark or modern touch that would elevate it beyond simply "average." If location is your primary concern and you're looking for a solid, no-frills stay, this hotel is worth considering.
