The main reason to stay at this property is the convenient access to UCLA. The hotel definitely shows it's age. Feels a bit run down and dingy.
It was fine for what was needed in terms of location, but if you're a leisure traveller I would suggest staying elsewhere. I guess if you're only visiting L.A. for UCLA and/or the Gettty, then this would be ok.
If you like the sound of the 405, this is your place!
Luckily I travel with a white noise machine so I was able to drown it out, but even on a high floor at 1am, you're still going to hear traffic. Light sleepers beware, come prepared.
The staff I interacted with were pleasant so that was nice.
