Classic Building, Nice restaurant and bar. Cool design.
United States of AmericaReally cool artist themed hotel, great staff, great location. Loved our time in DT LA
United States of AmericaNo breakfast but so many food opportunities around!! Location one of the best downtown and the swimming pool excellent bonus :)
New CaledoniaWe like the fact that the room key had to be used to get to the floor we were staying on.
United States of AmericaIt was more of a luxurious hostel. Beds were very comfortable. The rooftop was really nice
IndiaGreat location, clean rooms, beautiful atmosphere, great restaurant, good value for the price.
United States of AmericaEclectic hotel with a lot of foreign guests travelling . The coed part means the cheaper rooms are shared with 7 others. Upgrade to single room was pricey but fair for the location. Good vibe good setting . Not your typical Marriott which is lovely !only spent one nights so didn’t get to use all the facilities . Valet parking available for another 40-00 for guests.
United States of AmericaExcellent room, location and view. I've stayed at many places throughout downtown Los Angeles and this is one of the best.
United States of AmericaBeds were extremely comfortable. The hotel itself was gorgeous
United States of AmericaParking was an issue and cost me an extra 25$ per day
