Beautifully redecorated; the rooftop bar was great. No service at the bar in the lobby is a problem. No food service in the a.m. is a problem as well. The room was beautiful but it was like sleeping in the street. Terribly noisy. Skid row is around the corner. When valeting my car, my conversation kept getting interrupted by a homeless person who was having a mental health episode. Properties across the street are derelict.

The rooms were great. I stayed in 2. Only because the first one was on the 5th floor and I could hear all the noise outside, as if I was outside. They moved me up to the 9th floor and it was better. I wish they would spend money on new mattresses and pillows. Both rooms had hard mattress and flat pillows. I would suggest cocking the windows, if not replacing the glass. A good night's sleep is very important to me, and I can't sleep because it is so noisy, I will not stay again. Super cute hotel. Love the decor everywhere. The rooftop is great! Didn't get to enjoy it at night, but I was great during the day.

This property was recommended for us as part of a large group coming into LA for a wedding. I would never have chosen it otherwise. It was a horrible place in many ways. It is considered a "boutique hotel" so if that's your thing, great. I personally don't appreciate the stench of pot vaping in every hallway, vomit in the elevator, drag racing and bar fights in the street at 3 am, explosions (yes, still not sure what that was all about), sirens, etc. Another family friend/guest witnessed a homeless mentally ill person sitting at the bar in the "lobby" area scream, fall out of his seat and pull a knife out of his backpack. Police were called. Homeless and drug seekers everywhere at street level. I'm from NY and have stayed in a lot of neighborhoods there and never felt as much unease. I couldn't wait to check out and head to a different hotel for the last night of our visit. Our poor niece brought her toddler to this place. So many of the wedding guests felt the same. Aside from all the above- staff was aloof, lighting was purposely dim, lack of space in room, tiny bathroom, no top sheet on bed, stains on comforter, bed uncomfortable, smelly towels, no mini fridge, why would you stay here after this review? So many nicer places downtown for the same or lower price. Stay away!

I booked a bed in a quad room at this hotel for one night, as I was in town for a concert that was a few blocks away. I came into a room that smelled because of the guys already there, and two of them had dirty clothes and stuff all over the ground. Sigh. Instead of using the lockers, they were living out of their suitcases on the ground, and there is no other storage location on the room, which is already very small. Anyways, what I didn't like on the hotel side: no toiletries provided and I had to go ask at the front desk for them, only one towel in my locker, no washcloth towel, no slippers as stated in the listing, and only one thin blanket on the bed, not even a flat sheet, which is kind of weird. I ended up being child that night when I slept and did not have a good night. Doubtful that I would stay here again.
