Hartley Botanica

They messed up our deposit and check in and charged us over 600$! Thankfully we had money to spare and they were able to fix it and we didn’t mind much but I can see how it would be troublesome to some people. Also parking is hard but that’s more on me since it was my first time in San Fran. Area is a lil rough especially at night.

Our experience at the hotel was great! Mini romantic getaway. The staff was awesome! Kind and genuine. Everything was almost perfect, except for: 1. Not receiving the room I had reserved. After the valet guy helped us move in our belongings, he noticed there was no iPad for controlling of the lights (not a big issue). But after following up for us, they then offered us another room that had an iPad and happened to be exactly the room we had been anticipating. I was about to talk to the front desk when this opportunity came up, so, it worked out on it's own. 2. One of the chairs by the "mini library" was dirty; crumbs in the crevices. And the rug was pretty stained by the main table in the living room. 3. We found two spiders in our stay. One which bit my partner. I mean, insects are insects, but it was a surprise to find two. One we could ignore, but two, we were like, "alrighttt what's going on here" 4. We asked for ice at night around 1030-11pm. I first asked if there was an ice machine. They said no, but that they could send some ice up from the restaurant. Time passed and no ice ever showed up. We can surpass that but there was no other way to cool down some water or drinks considering their mini fridges are only for their resaled beverages. Overall, it was a nice getaway.

My favourite place to stay in LA! We always feel so welcome here. Huge thanks and love to Miguel who has been taking such good care of us here for over 15 years 😍
