I recently stayed at the Biltmore in downtown LA and was very disappointed. I was part of a large not-for-profit conference group, and my guess is the rates were good so that is where we stayed. I would like to say that the conference facilites were good and the food better than average for this type of situation. But the rooms were really tired. Very old and faded furniture, old bathrooms, tiny tv's. Non of the little amenities that make your stay a bit nicer ie. makeup mirror, mini bar, safe in room. Even in my upgraded "suite" the room was just bigger, but pretty barren. At least in the suite I had a slightly larger tv and a closet. Plus, in the business center you were charged $.49 a minute to use their computers, which is really nuts. Downtown LA is very sketchy, and If you are attending a conference at the Biltmore, try to stay in one of the other hotels nearby. The staff was fine, but the accomodations very poor.
