Checks all the boxes
The room was spacious, gorgeously furnished, super clean, and comfortable. I understand other reviews about a slightly musty smell in the hallways, but it was gone by morning (maybe a humidity issue?). Staff is very friendly, and the rooftop bar is excellent. I appreciated the attention to detail in providing earplugs, as street noise can get a bit loud at night.

Style and Service Collide.
My wife and I had a short staycation for our anniversary. Let’s just say we loved the vibe of this place. Great design, very clean, great pool, fun rooftop lounge and restaurant, the list goes on. We stayed in a poolside king suite. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and just as stylish and thoughtfully designed as the rest of the hotel. The balcony overlooks the pool. Loved our stay. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family coming in from out of town.

Okay
The entire staff were all very pleasant, especially the young men at valet and the receptionist.
The grounds and room were very clean. However, the room was extremely noisy and almost impossible to sleep in. I didn’t think to mention it to staff, assuming the noise would lessen as the night went on. But, it continued and only got worse throughout the night and morning. At check out, I was informed the 4th floor was directly under the kitchen which was upsetting- especially since I paid for a room upgrade. Overall, wonderful staff. But the price does not justify the lack of comfort.

Loved the hotel. Absolutely gorgeous interiors. We had a Superior Suite, 1 King Bed (Pool Club Suite), which was spacious and an absolutely wonderful space in which to spend our night. We were celebrating our anniversary enjoying two things we love: a beautiful hotel room and room service. The food was outstanding and the service was lightning fast.

We stayed in a two bedroom suite. It was gorgeous, extremely spacious and now one of my favorite places to stay in LA. The restaurants were absolutely beautiful and food delicious. The staff was top notch, friendly, professional and made us feel welcomed each time we encountered them. We loved the surrounding area just steps away from the hotel. One can find anything and everything you want from upscale restaurants, bustling clubs, to retail of all prices ranges. So much to do, yet you could relax and enjoy the serene quiet posh pool and feel as though you were in a private luxury getaway from the world. Everything about the Aster was outstanding. This is a must if you are considering.

Comfortable but missed expectations
Comfortable hotel with a nice vibe, but there were a few things that missed on expectations for a 5-star hotel rated so highly on hotels.com.
Staff at check-in was overly forward, preemptively trying to upsell us on a room because we would have noise issues and making fun of a guest's name.
Our shower was backed up when we checked in. I called to have it fixed, and I think they sent someone but it was not fixed by the time we checked out. We had to take short showers in a couple inches of water. No accommodations for this gross issue; just a "sorry that happened" while we checked out.
There was noise from the venue next door but I saw that in the reviews when booking. If that bothers you book a courtyard room.
