This was a beautiful, very cool hotel. We used the valet parking option, I drank amazing coffee every morning from the coffee bar with the nicest baristas. Had breakfast a few times which was also great. Walked to Little Tokyo from the hotel as well as the Last Bookstore. Whole Foods was on the opposite corner and stayed open until 10 for room snacks. The valets were the nicest crew of guys- fast, friendly and charming. Front desk staff was super helpful with needs. Room was as pictures, spacious, comfortable and super clean. The room even had blackout curtains. Would definitely stay again.

I enjoyed how close this was to the metro and other reasonably priced restaurants. There is a CVS super close in case you forget anything. I didn't get to explore the hotel itself, but they have a fridge, microwave, water fountain, and little lounge area for guests in the basement. I stayed in an all female quad for a little extra security, the only downside is the AC did not seem to work at all. Thankfully, it was a pretty cool outside so I didn't get too hot, but I can't imagine how this might feel in the summer. I would definitively stay here again if I ever traveled alone and in LA!

Neat!
Such a neat place! Pros: the rooftop pool and bar were vibing, the rooms were clean, the lobby was very cozy. Cons: bedding was very minimal, I’d recommend bringing a blanket from home. There is a $15/day parking garage right around the corner (soooo close). Woul be a good option over the $60 valet parking.

Oh my gosh this was the best affordable vacation I’ve ever taken. That rooftop pool is a VIBE! Carla bringing me the yummiest tacos in earth, chillin in the floatie, making friends in the pool. The bunk beds were an adventure and I made friends with the girls I shared the room with. Front desk was above and beyond helpful, and the kids serving coffee were as wonderful as the setting and the coffee itself. I cannot believe that place always as affordable as it was. I will go to ALL of THEM across the world!!!!

Good location. Front desk staff was kind. Housekeeping was good too. Although a good location its a bit noisy, specialky at nights. Linen is just fair. Rooms are a bit worn down. Broken Shaker bar is a whole mess. Staff would close the bar anytime they want to before the scheduled hours with a very poor reasoning saying there was not enough business. Well i saw other guests that are never coming back again.

I liked the rooftop bar and pool. Good customer service. Only thing to improve upon is that there are a lack of water refill areas (other than basement lounge and cafe on lobby level) in the actual rooms themselves. Adding a water cooler to each room would definitely be beneficial
