This is a historic hotel in downtown LA. Great entrance hall and public places on the ground floor. The ceiling and walls are amazing wood carvings and painting clad. Good looking bar with live jazz played friday and saturday night. The rooms are disappointing, the first room I got was pretty depressing with not much space around 2 beds and stains on the carpet. The second room was nicer with more space and better view, but the bathrooms are still very dated, the shower did not work, although was fixed pretty promptly, bathroom supplies are not very nice so i even did not use any. There is a gym, in the basement, also quite dated, but apparently was open in 1926 as one of the firs mens health clubs. The nice thing weight machines are Keisers' (i think this is the brand), so you adjust resistance up or down by pressing buttons on the handles, which was pretty convenient. there is also a swimming pool, which is although small, was not chlorinated, so i was able to swim without goggles which was nice. they also have steam and sauna rooms (mixed), but the jacuzzi was closed for refurbishment. breakfast was ok, omlettes pretty good.
