• Very friendly staff, clean rooms, prompt reply for items needed like extra towels, baby crib etc.
• Restaurant not suitable for small children (2 years old), vending machines out of water and soda on every floor, ice not available on every floor.

“Hotel very clean, staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Restaurant not suitable for young children, that is no children's menu and seems a little bit too upscale to welcome little ones to act as little ones do.”

• Delivered a very great 20 year high school reunion environment.
• Room 518 stuck closet door, punch hole in bathroom door, remote went missing from cleaning and WIFI didn't work.

“Room could have been slightly better maintained. Although the restaurant staff is great, the kitchen is incredibly slow. The facility and staff delivered an exception event for us and made 200 people happy.”

• Door locked.
• Broken air, broken TV, no central air, bad parking experience.

“Very crowded bar, dance floor, very loud. Window air condition unit did not work, On demand TV did not work, crowded parking lots, like a cheap hotel, bottles and trash on the floor and in the elevator. Pictures falling down in the elevator. Elevator door needs WD40. Beds very comfortable, very nice staff, good price.”

• The pool was nice.
• Very poor ventilation, bad smell in rooms, poor AC.

“Disappointing. Very poor ventilation, moldy smell and mold around the edges of the bathroom with a smell that wouldn't go away. Also the carpets, especially in the hallway were dusty at the edges. Also the beds, although touted as comfort by number, were uncomfortable. I will stay away from this chair for sure.”

• Location to family and friends.
• Service was very poor, smell of room, non working phone and ice machine.

“Room and floor reeked of smoke. Informed staff several times. Our room smelled like lemon scented cigarettes. Slow service. Broken ice machine on 3 floors. Phone was not working in room even after informing staff. Our stay was for 2 nights and all we heard was I'll look in to it. Run!”

• I liked the professionalism of the hotel employees.
• The air conditioning malfunctioned constantly and the parking was very limited.

“This hotel was overall a nice hotel but likely not a 3 star hotel in quality. It did have the usual essentials within each room that you should expect to see, but I was disappointed not to find a refrigerator and/or microwave within these rooms. The price was great and did reflect the quality received however. I was hoping for more since this was my wife and It's honeymoon but outside of the air conditioning not working well and the parking being limited and very hard to get into, it was a very nice hotel to stay at.”

• Nice and comfortable sleep number bed.
• Rooms need some cosmetic maintenance to achieve better appearance of cleanliness.

“I wouldn't rate this 3 star deluxe. The room is not as clean as I expect it to be though I wouldn't fault the housekeeping. The bathroom looks like a 1 or 2 star level motel. I had to argue for an hour to finally get a non-smoking room. Staff are friendly but doesn't appear to have much to offer, or are not empowered to resolve issues with guests.”

• Price and beds.
• Thursday is club night with gangsters and no parking.

“The hotel was fine just never stay on Thursday nights. The place is packed with a line around the corner and no parking because they have a club down stairs. And there is nothing but gangsters and they will fight you over parking. We were told to park across the street and at 2:00 a.m. they would call us to move our car because that is when the night club closes.”

• The lobby was attractive.
• The spa was closed for reservations and the pool was more like a wading pool than one that one could swim in.

“The hotel was ok. The staff would only give us a smoking room when it was obvious that the rest of the hotel was not full. When we complained of the smell, we were moved to a handicap smoking room. That room was not as smoky smelling, but did have a musty odor. I felt we were treated as second class citizens.”

• Ok.
• The hotel room smell bad, especially the bedding and pillow.

“When we went inside the room, the window was opened. The room smell musty. That may be the reason why the window was opened to get rid of the smell. The bedding, especially the pillow has smell. Since, it was late, I didn't request for another room.”

• Location, A/C was broken and not fixed while I was there, noisy.

“Hotel is far from the freeways, in a residential area. Tries to be a 3 star, but misses on many levels. Staff is nice, but rooms and locations are just not equal to other 3 star hotels. Really should be a 2 or 2.5 star at most.”

• Housekeeping was exceptionally thorough.
• TV only had a handful of cable channels and the set wasn't very large.

“It's what I expect in a 3-star hotel. It was used to be a Hilton and was undergoing renovation. The room had a few signs of wear (e.g. obsolete TV set, A/C not very powerful) but was adequate for my needs. Bed, bathroom, elevator, lobby, pool and spa were very nice. Check-in and check-out took a total of about 5 minutes. They put me in a room next to the elevator.”

• Select comfort beds and location near downtown Whittier.
• A little off beaten path.

“Radisson Whittier is in interesting location. Near downtown Whittier with lots of shop & restaurants. It is off the beaten path a little as not right off an expressway. Very friendly and helpful staff. They are trying to do a number of upgrades on the hotel so there was a little dust. Some places showed some age - which is why they are doing upgrades. Select comfort beds are nice touch.”

“I stayed at this hotel in the past and really enjoyed myself. Unfortunately this trip the air conditioner did not work in my room and no one came out to fix. Also the ice machine on my floor and the floors above me and below me did not work also. Room service was a little slow. My bed was not made till almost 03:00pm.”

• The room is equipped with sleep number bed.
• There is no refrigerator in the room and they only give bottled water on the 1st night.

“I stayed at the hotel for 5 days. Unfortunately, even though I wanted to have a king size bed-non smoking, they were all booked so I had to be satisfied with 2 double bed room. Stayed at the room for the first 3 nights before I can finally move to the King size bedroom. None of the room has refrigerator which I wish they have one. Overall, it's a decent hotel and just what you expect from the price.”

• The hotel was clean and had updated furnishings and amenities. Excellent beds.
• Loud music late into the night from the nightclub; there was marijuana smoking by the nightclub clientele in front of the hotel.

“The physical appearance of the hotel and the customer service were good. I could not believe that the Radisson would compromise their quality and reputation in order to run a nightclub adjacent to their hotel. Any time we came back to the hotel in the evening the parking lot was full. We had to walk through the people loitering in the parking lot; obvious customers of the nightclub. This was not acceptable for family of four with young children. They were cursing and smoking marijuana; we did report this to the front desk. They didn't seem surprised! There was absolutely no security outside the hotel nor in the parking lot; which noting full view of the hotel. I had to park late one night alone with my small son; walking back to the hotel we did not feel safe. They should at least have security! I will not recommend this hotel and be hesitant in the future to stay at a Radisson again.”

• Nothing.
• No one knew how to get to places.

“The sleep number bed was horrible; I tossed and turned all night. I did not have a good night sleep. I woke up with a bad back ache. When first entered the room, it smelled like urine as if someone urinated all over the room. The bedding felt dirty, the carpet was worse to walk on; the coffee maker was not clean.”

“Quality hotel in good location with convenient access to freeways, shopping and restaurants. Hotel restaurant located in open hotel lobby that offers little dining privacy. Outdoor pool/patio great for family fun. Friendly front desk staffs that need more training to ensure equal quality of service each and every time.”

• Love the street it was located on! It is very quaint with all the small shops.
• The staff indifference.

“I have stayed at this hotel many times in the past. I have always enjoyed my visits. This visit, however, I was very disappointed with the service by the hotel staff. I was given a room with one bed instead of two. The front desk would not make the change. When we entered our room my daughter noticed the bathroom was flooded from the water tank on the toilet. I placed a call to front desk and nothing was done to remedy the situation. To make matter worse, the air conditioner in the room was not functioning at all. After 3 calls to the front desk, I was told that it cannot be repair and they did not offer any other solutions. We had to spend the three days in this hot stuffy room. By the end of our stay, we couldn't wait to get out of there.”
