This is a nice place to stay in downtown LA!! Lots business around the property for easy walking access to what you need. Whole Foods in across the street. The only negative thing I could say about this hotel is the gym is small and really can only fit 3 people working out. I would recommend Freehand!

Nice spot for the money... Enjoyed the service, and the room, while being a bit outdated, was comfortable and with great water pressure in the shower. The hotel is in a central location, easy walking to many places as well as the Metro.

You get what you pay for, but that’s okay!

Check-in & out was very easy. Mike was notably professional, friendly and helpful, and the room cleaners were sweet ladies, quick and efficient. I would stay there again because it’s such easy access from there to the metro rails and everything I like to see & do, taco trucks right outside the door, Whole Foods on the corner, etc. Downsides are the noise of the street it’s on. I got very little sleep my entire stay (I managed, though. Others might not.) The blinds don’t block enough light out, either. The water takes a long, long time to cool down. It stays scalding hot for a while. Our room was very cute, but bare bones, e.g. I had to go downstairs and ask for a PEN. Lastly, the elevators are temperamental. Often refused to take us to our floor many days, forcing us to take the stairs with all our things in hand. Kinda sucked! Value was good, though. I can live with these things just because I love being in LA so much.

I didnt realize the room I was in was a hostile style situation. I shared a room with 3 others which was fine. They need to make it clearer that you will be in a room with other poeple. They do offer private rooms. They dont give you the little shampoo and stuff for the shower. You have to bring that or grab it from the cvs the next block over. Clean facilities and decent rooms. They have a upstairs pool and bar which was cool. It is right across the street from one of the oldest bars in LA.
