We were in town to visit our daughter, and Wilshire Crest was very handy, only a few blocks away. The area was quiet, pretty, and secure. The room was large and comfortable. I agree with one reviewer below, the hotel has a European aura. That may also explain some of the complainers below, the service is correct but not fawning. I also agree somewhat with those disappointed with the breakfast, while there WERE boiled eggs, the other offerings were rather limited. Fortunately for us, we are Blue Jam Cafe addicts. In one last negative finding, though one that is almost universally true of ALL hotels, the hot water dispenser had a soapy taste, ruining any tea brewed with it. Why can't hotels just get a mug and a microwave! Easy, clean, and reheatable!
