Private rooms were nice although whole building has a musty smokey smell. Bed was comfortable, shower was great with awesome water pressure. Only real complaint is paper thin walls where he had to to listen to a couple break up for 6 hours.

Ashlee, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great hotel, ideal location, poor internet

Great hotel in an ideal DTLA location. The room was comfy and chic, the rooftop pool bar was to die for. My one quibble was that the internet just did not work for us. They said they were having trouble the Friday we checked in, but the problem persisted the whole time we were there. Hopefully, it's not usually like this and it wasn't a big enough problem to deter us from staying there again.
Alexander, 2-night trip

Closer to restaurant and LA convention center . Greatly recommended for staying.
Jojo, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good for price

Met some cool people in my room. I would suggest bringing your own blanket as the ones they give aren’t super big/warm and they don’t always change them out between guests
Mackenzie, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location but some issues

Nearly a third of the loungers and seating is unusable as they've been "reserved". I was there for approximately 5 hours and I didn't see one being used, all whist people were sitting in the floor. The shared rooms are nice however they require the privacy curtains to be reattached onto the front of the beds.
Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I come here all the time, it's one of the best hidden gems in LA.
