Central located fun and funky hotel
Central location, great rooms (although can be noisy at night as not double glazed windows - bring ear plugs if needed!). Loved the roof top pool at night. Close to grocery store and local things like the Central market etc. Loved the music night with local songwriters - free for hotel guests.

Place is fine but downtown LA is awful
Place was fine but downtown LA sucks. Like there is homeless and crazy people everywhere. Coming from NY this place felt like a different world. The hostel was fine though but you might get unlucky and have bad roommates. But that’s just me, other people might like it and more power to them, downtown LA isn’t for me.

Clean and comfortable
Very clean. Good service. Comfortable bed. Gym was very enclosed like a dungeon so we had to go to a gym and streets were a bit loud with people screaming.

Worth every penny, 1 Bedroom city view
Ease of check-in, friendly door staff to the front desk. Helpful and kind. I appreciate that. The room was big, yet cozy with a cool city view, while also being quiet which made for a great nights rest. The lobby area is very business oriented where I was able to get some work done while meeting with clients at the same time. Highly recommend

We had a few issues with our check-in (double bedroom suit). They lost our reservation. At the end all sorted. Staff was nice and the food good (wouldn't recommend the cocktails).

I love this place, but parking stinks close by. I had a roommate that was load and he was moved to another room with class. I’ll be back, but only by the Metro, which couldn’t be done this time.

Not worth it.
Room was dated and very small. for the price, the value is terrible. food options are garbage and the bartender couldnt even make a decent margarita, wich by the way was $21. roof too bar was cool, desk service was great. parking situation is terrible. Bottom line.. avoid this place there and e far better hotels, in nicer areas for the same price.
