Thank you, Curtis for staying with us and submitting your review. Truly the location of our hotel is one of the reasons why guests especially tourists stay with us because we are centrally located to most tourist spots in LA and the metro is just a stone throw away. We hope to see you again soon.

Definitely needs updated. Worst thing was sitting on the toilet and repeatedly smashing my elbow on the toilet paper holder and my knee on the other side kept hitting the vanity. I paid $11 to be able to park my car in basically an alley way where I had to worry about my car being hit by another car parking because the spots are to small and at very odd angles. Oh and the 80s carpet everywhere was a very nice touch. I assure i will never be staying here again.

Hotel has been charging for parking for 10 years now and it's posted in our website and also in all third party booking engines like Expedia. We are sorry that you missed it. Regarding cleaning the room, most hotels give maid service upon request only wherein ours is better since we do it every other day. Thank you for staying with us.

Extremely low water pressure in the shower (which we understand given California drought regardless of good rain this year). Water temperature was hard to adjust with extremes of hot/cold. I think this is an easy fix. We had to do it in our own home. Room 311.

Great staff…there was an issue with water leaking in our room from the floor above last night. Staff were quick to respond to the issue and fix it. We were unable to move due to hotel being fully occupied but they compensated us for the inconvenience. We will be staying there again the next time we are in LA.

The front desk staff has always been outstanding. This time it was Kevin who was very welcoming, accommodating and helpful. It's important to know that bedding and towels only get changed every other day during a longer visit, and you should ask for trash to be taken out every day.

Convenient location
We were greeted warmly and helped expediently by the front desk staff Kevin and Fred. Kevin asked for my membership number because I didn't entered it when booking on hotel.com. Upon finding out my elite level, he waived my parking fee. The property is older like other guests observed. Therefore our room was smaller with sitting area (perfect for work out reading without bothering sleepers) partitioned off. The bath room is small but there are 2 closets and a small balcony. The beds are soft.
