This has become my preferred place to stay in Los Angeles. The front desk has always been friendly. The full rooms are quite nice. The rooftop pool and bar is a nice little oasis. And, most importantly for me, it's very close to a host of theaters on Broadway. I'm often in LA for a concert in one of these theaters, and being within 5-10 minutes walking distance (at most) is very convenient.
