We stayed at this hotel for a week on a family holiday. It’s a dated building with recently renovated rooms/ studios that’s very spacious and comfortable. It looks very nice, clean and presentable. The positive aspects of this studio:- 1 - Comfortable pillows that supports the neck unlike many hotels 2- Modern room amenities - new kitchen with a fully functioning kitchen (not that we used it apart from making tea) 3- Provision of clothes dryer & washing machine 4- Daily room service - it’s so nice to come back at the end of the day to a gleaming studio 5- It’s about a 5 to 10mins walk to the metro, Ross, Grand Central Market, Whole Foods Market (supermarket), Chipotle, Sand Couch (great for Brekky!) It’s a very central location. The poor aspects of this hotel:- 1- you hear all noises on the street (we were on the 4th floor) like you’re on the street level. They provide ear-plugs for this purpose. (Noises such as ambulance/ police with sirens on; people arguing really loudly on the street). 2- Neighbourhood - unfortunately you will see homeless people around. There are some streets in Downtown LA that look very trashy because the homeless has taken up residence there. Where the hotel is located - you will find some homelessness not as concentrated, many as other streets. Note: there are lots & lots of homeless people in Downtown LA. If you avoid them or places where they are concentrated, it’s ok. You breathe better too (air is polluted where they've been). They don’t cause you harm. The hotel’s room is more than adequate, modern and reasonably priced compared to other parts of LA. I have no issues returning to this hotel given its central location & modern rooms.
