We just returned from this hotel. We stayed Oct 3-9. When we booked with Expedia, we were really looking forward to it. Then we checked in, and saw the huge heated pool. The kids were really pumped to use it. We Did the tourist thing the first few days, and planned to use the pool the last 2, to relax before we left for a long plane ride back to ...
Every year the General Hospital Fan Club Weekend events are held at the Sportsman but after 2008 we will have to find another place as they are tearing down the event center and thats a shame. Its a great place and I can't imagine going somewhere else. The Sportsman is a wonderful, scenic and family place to stay. My wish is for them to change ...
The hotel has a beautiful pool area and a restaurant with tv/movie memorabilia in it. Including a jacket worn by Mrs. C from Happy Days and movie cowboy boots, Roy Rogers. The place is about 60 years old and the bell staff guys will take care of you,getting Lincoln Towncar service that is cheaper/as cheap as taxis but a heckuva lot nicer. One bellman got a me Lincoln to pick me up at 5:30 a.m. and take me to LAX. Great, safe ride.

Nightmare

Stay elsewhere: problems + pricey = you can do better, keep looking. We stayed there for a special event and brought in lots of out of town guests. It was a constant stream of problems for us and all our guests. They booked our room out from under us, closed the pre-booked facilities before we arrived, then slapped on a fake charge after we left ...

Rude Front desk service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/02/06
We had always loved this hotel in the past when our family and friends stayed during their LA visit. However, the last visit made me rethink about our future recommendation. Crystal, the same front desk woman in the Susan from Kansas review in '04, still works there and she was extremely rude. I watched her dealing with other guests and ...
We went to the Lodge to use the pool, the hot tub, and because the had internet in the rooms. 2 out of the 3 days we stayed there the pool was closed due to weddings and events, the internet didint work, nor had it worked for months, facts we were never told when we booked the room and asked abotu all of the abover things. The employees were rude and when I asked to talk to the Manager he wouldnt talk to me. Stay away from this place.

Never going back!.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/30/04
I stayed there a couple months ago, the maintenance people were great, so were the people in the Coffee Shop. I did have a little problem with a young lady at the front desk which I thought was really rude, and had no manners her name was Cristal. I wanted to speak to the G.M. but he was never there when I would look for him. People at the front ...

A terrific low key hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/22/04
When in L.A., I always stay here. The rates are reasonable, and the location couldn't be better for access to both the San Fernando Valley and the West Side. And wonder of wonders! There is plenty of parking. The rooms are spacious and well kept. The staff and employees are superior, and the coffee shop restaurant offers great prices, and low key, fun ambiance.
