Second time here and my first time was a better experience. Only negative thing I have to say about my second time staying at this hotel was that we had no shower curtain in our room. So you can see people showering next to you. Overall pool and the bar next to the hotel were nice to have. We came for a concert in Kia forum and it was very convenient for a walking distance. So if your going to sofi and Kia forum for whatever event I’d choose this hotel just make sure you have a shower curtain l.

It was very strange that there was no parking lot and they had to use valet service. If you leave it for even 4 hours, you have to pay $35! This is big waste. The bed comfort was like a student room. Apart from this, the cleanliness, atmosphere and bathroom details were so nice.

DESIRE

The only thing I liked about the room was the bathroom setup, primarily the shower. The beds were small, my door appeared to have been tampered with previously. There's construction going on directly across the street and the noise was ALL DAY-Construction occurred at 3am. Amenities were limited, I had to wait over an hour for extra towels I requested. They charged for late checkout requests when most hotels offer a one-hour extension for free. Parking is horrible. There's a lot of potential for it to be a nice hotel and while there are things like construction on other properties that's out of their control they fall abundantly short on things that are in their control. If you're staying for one night to go to a game or concert I can see it working out but if you're looking to travel or sight see or have guests visit you look elsewhere, it's not worth all the inconveniences.

Race to the bottom; need a 9 digit code to enter lobby and your room; dirty, unkempt; oblivious staff - more valets than cleaners or front desk. 27” iMacs in the lobby for non existent staff but no free coffee or anything in the rooms. Elevator stopped working - but an email was sent to residents a few hours later so oh well. Took 3 full days to get security deposit back; motel 6 gets it done in 3-5 hours. Large sign indicating not to use the property for Lyft/uber pickups or drop offs. Oh well.

Very loud, staff was not very helpful. Asked for towels and they told me to get them myself or they would be delivered within 12 hours. Went to leave, front desk saw me walking on the way out and was like, I was going to bring you the towels and let you know everything here is self service lol! What a joke! Will not be going back to this place.

The only good thing about this property is the location. Other than that it’s one of those places that looks aesthetically pleasing from the outside but is really warm down and not kept up. Starting with the rooms they used flat paint on the walls so you can see everywhere anyone has ever touched or bumped into. It was like entering a crime scene. Lots of caulking in the bathroom and mold in the shower grout. There is loud construction going on starting at 5 am that consist of horns and loud trucks backing up and making that beeping sound constantly. The valet is useless and they are actually parking your car on the property and they go through the lobby every time as a shortcut cut to the cars which is crazy to me. They don’t open your doors or help with luggage at the valet so I really don’t see the point. Other than the location to the forum and sofi there is nothing great about this hotel. They have a beautiful pool and bar but the bar isn’t even in use. Also I arrived an hour before check in and they nickel and dime you and charged me $25 to check in even though my room was already assigned and ready. How about you let people check in early since we are going to be abruptly woken at 5 am with the construction next door? Lastly they have an app that they make you use that ask for everything but your social security number. Why do I need to do facial recognition to stay at a seemingly self service hotel? It’s absurd! Don’t stay here, it’s not peaceful and it’s not clean.

Very noisy area. They provided ear plugs and a sound machine but between the LAX air traffic (which is to be expected), the construction on the Intuit Dome (right behind the hotel), and noisy/disrespectful neighbors and paper thin walls, didn’t get much rest. However, the location was convenient for seeing a show at the forum. I must have missed where this is a “self service” hotel. Not sure what is meant by that since I’m paying normal hotel prices but they don't provide basics like bottled water, daily housekeeping, etc. unless you pay extra for it. The only thing not “self service” was the parking of course which they make you valet even though the lot was right behind the hotel and easily accessible. Overall not a terrible stay, but definitely not the best for the price and what you get.

This is my second time staying at this property, and while I appreciate the Sonder concept in various locations worldwide, this specific property falls short of expectations. The noise level here is incredibly disruptive, and the staff isn't particularly accommodating. Despite its proximity to the airport, the incessant noise makes it nearly impossible to get a proper rest, especially if you're hoping to catch some sleep before your next flight.

The hotel was nice and a good walking distance for our event but unfortunately our room backed up to a service room for the elevator? There was constant noise through the wall ALL NIGHT. Reached out to hotel through booking app and they denied any kind of refund. Also when we first got there waiting to check in (didn’t know we could go straight to our room at the time) the workers were too busy talking about their weekend plans of being off work and drinking tequila to help us while we stood there holding our heavy bags. Very unprofessional but the workers the following days were much nicer and attentive.

At first glance this property is new, hip, and updated. Once you are actually in the room, you can tell the aesthetic is there but the quality is poor. I stayed on the first floor and the room is described to have a terrace. The room had a sliding door that exited into the actual parking lot. Had to keep the blinds closed at all times because there was no privacy. Anyone from the parking lot could come straight up to the sliding door. The actual room itself was very small, hardly any walking space or space for a suitcase, and no closet. There was a mini fridge, which I did appreciate. The bathroom is large and was “designed” as an open layout. Meaning that there are no shower doors and the shower was completely open. The idea is that you can shower and the water SHOULD go down the drain. This is not what I experienced. The shower drain did a poor job of draining any water. The water from the shower would reach all the way to the toilet and the sink. It got so bad that during a shower the water would build up and was leaking outside of the bathroom into the small hallway that led to where the bed was placed. They only provided two towels. There are no hooks to hang them on to dry, only some railing near the toilet. My boyfriend went to the front desk and asked for more towel and for maintenance to come in because the room was flooding with water due to the shower drain not draining properly. The walls are thin and the overall stay was very noisy. It was very close to the venue
