About

Wilshire Crest Hotel

The Wilshire Crest Hotel is a small 3-star property set on Orange Street in Los Angeles, about a 10-minute walk from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. With just 34 rooms, it keeps a modest, personal scale. The hotel runs a 24-hour reception with security, so arriving late or leaving early is straightforward.

Rooms are simple but practical, with air conditioning, a sitting area, a flat-screen TV, and tea and coffee facilities. A free continental-style breakfast bag is offered in the morning, and guests can use the sun terrace or picnic tables when the weather cooperates. The hotel is also fitted for wheelchair access and has disabled facilities in some rooms.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Close to the LA County Museum of Art — The hotel is a short walk (roughly 0.7 km) from the museum, and also near the Farmer's Market, Whole Foods, and downtown LA.
  • Free parking – a rare perk in LA — Several guests mention free street parking, which is a notable advantage in a city where parking often costs extra.
  • Spacious, quiet rooms — Guests highlight large rooms and a quiet stay, with comfortable beds and a tub in some units.
  • 24-hour reception with kind staff — The front desk is available around the clock, and several guests mention friendly, helpful staff, especially toward elderly guests.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — The 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scores 6 out of 10 – noticeably below other aspects – though individual reviews don't highlight major issues.
  • Parking is on the street, not a lot — Free parking is available, but it's street parking, which may mean hunting for a spot or moving the car.
  • Small property with limited facilities — With only 34 rooms and no on-site restaurant, the hotel is basic – breakfast is a grab-bag, not a full spread.
  • Mixed value for some guests — While many find it fair value, a couple of reviews rate the experience lower, citing minor letdowns relative to expectations.
