Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is like a mix between a hostel and a hotel, providing an interesting atmosphere for my grandchildren's Urban Vacation Experience. The rooms, although clean and spacious, lacked practicality with limited counter space. The service was good for basic needs, like washing hands but slightly lacking in friendliness. The location was convenient, especially for those staying in Downtown, but lacked specific instructions for amenities. The dining experience was basic and lacking in variety. The facilities were adequate with basic amenities.
The hotel had chic and spacious rooms but was extremely noisy due to lack of soundproofing from the street side, making it uncomfortable to sleep with loud disturbances. The service was excellent and very helpful, making everything convenient, yet there were additional charges for parking. The location was great in downtown with easy access to various shops and facilities, but improvements are needed in certain areas. The dining experience, although okay for a short stay, was comparable to a high-school cafeteria. There were some nice touchpoints but also room for enhancement in the breakfast offerings.
The hotel offers well-presented and comfortable rooms, but they are smaller than anticipated, giving a cozy vibe like in a backpackers' setting. The service was a mix of impressive attentiveness alongside minor inconveniences like delays in orders. The location is ideal for exploring Downtown LA, with convenient access to public transport and shopping options. The dining experience, while functional, lacked variety and could use some improvements to match the overall quality of the hotel. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for enhancement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while cozy and comfortable, lacked some basic amenities like tissues and waste paper baskets. However, the floor length windows added a nice touch, making the room feel more spacious. Despite some noise at night, the room overall was lovely and spacious.
The hotel offers a cool rooftop pool with many sunbeds and nice, large rooms with comfortable beds; however, the lack of response to room requests and limited private room availability were disappointing aspects. The location is excellent for exploring DTLA with convenient access to transport and nearby amenities, although the hotel can get crowded with locals. Dining options are simple, with room for improvement, while the service stands out for its excellent responsiveness and professionalism.
The hostel is located in a great area, easily accessible to transport and events in the DTLA area. The rooms are small but have charming heart decorations. The service was generally helpful and friendly, though there were some instances of rudeness. The dining experience was varied, from decent to disappointing. The hostel offers good value for the money, especially considering its central location.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were quite small but very clean, with great coffee and nice bar/restaurant options. However, the King suite was smaller than expected. The service was top-notch, super friendly and accommodating. The location was really handy, walking distance from the subway and downtown museums, though it's not the most vibrant place. The dining experience left much to be desired with long queues and limited breakfast options.
The hotel has a nice cottage touch in the rooms but they are a bit too dark for my taste. It's in the basement, so it can be quite hard to find. Despite this, the room was tidy, and the bathroom was comfortable. The service lacked sufficient English communication, and the vibe was just average with some missing amenities like a bathroom door lock. The location is excellent for accessing transportation and events in DTLA, though it felt a bit unsafe at night. The dining options were not remarkable. The hotel lacks some facilities expected for the price paid.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were awesome with a nice design, plenty of storage, and a clean bathroom. It felt like more than just a hostel with the cozy bunk beds. The location was very central, making it easy to explore Downtown LA, although it was a bit noisy at times. The service was friendly and helpful, though it took a bit long to get our food order. The dining experience was average, with a continental breakfast that left a bit to be desired. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor room for improvement.
The room I stayed in at the hotel was cozy but smaller than expected, and there was a significant amount of dog and cat hair on the carpet which was off-putting. The absence of parking and the overly soft lighting, especially in the bathroom, made certain activities like doing makeup a bit challenging. However, overall, the atmosphere was very cozy.
The hotel rooms are decorated with a heartfelt cottage touch, but they were tiny with small lockers and one bathroom. Overall, it's not a big issue considering the atmosphere.
The corner studio room was great and spacious with a classy look, though the bathroom felt like an afterthought. The service was amazing, with staff going out of their way to help me and an excellent rooftop bar and restaurant. The location is dark initially but walkable to key spots in LA. The dining experience, while good, was limited, resembling a high-school cafeteria. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor drawbacks.
I was very lucky to have a room at the rear of the hotel. While the room was smaller than expected and quite narrow, it was still comfortable for two of us with our suitcases. The service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff, and the hotel had a convenient location. However, the dining options were limited, which was my only complaint during my stay.
The hotel rooms were small but cozy, although a bit messy with some pet hair on the carpet. The lack of parking was inconvenient, and the diffuse lighting, while nice overall, was not ideal in the bathroom for tasks like makeup. Despite these drawbacks, the rooms were comfortable and had all the essentials. The floor-length windows added a sense of space, but the room could be a tight squeeze for larger groups.
The hotel rooms were super clean, and I loved the rooftop pool with the bar for its amazing views of Downtown LA. Despite a minor incident of finding a guest passed out in the bathroom, which made it uncomfortable, it didn't greatly impact the overall fantastic atmosphere of the hotel.
