Have to give this 3 stars or Average. I hate to do that because after you read the reviews you're still wondering if it's a good choice. It's not great, it's not terrible...what is is??? That's how I felt after reading some reviews and booking this hotel...and still feel that way after the stay.
My wife and I stayed 3 nights over Labor Day weekend.
What was good:
*Room was not special, but was clean (room more than bathroom - but both ok)
*No sign of bedbugs which is our new greatest fear when traveling.
*The room was quiet. We didn't see much traffic in and out of the hotel. I had asked for a 2nd story room because I hate hearing people above me. I don't remember any moment where we heard other guests. Stayted room 202. The air conditioner was loud which was a plus for us because we need white noise.
*I liked the location - though I see that as completely subjective. The neighborhood was not populated with hotels so it wasn't populated with huge crowds of tourists. It was walking distance to Farmers Market and some nice restaurants that seemed more pouplated with locals. We walked to Farmers Market and did Melting Pot food tour - which was neat.
*Parking was free - but you'll pay for parking everywhere you visit.
*Price was decent.
*Free wi-fi worked fine.
Flip side:
I don't have a lot of negative to say about the hotel because it did the job. We were hitting the streets and didn't spend much time in inside. But if I would consider upgrading hotels the next time in LA if I could do it by spending an extra $50/night. If not, I would come back.
*Room was a little sticky...not sure if it was humidity, but not completely comfortable though it was clean.
*Small room small bed for price
*Hotel was budget - and had the budget feel. Rooms were ok but rest of hotel felt less than average.
*Breakfast wasn't worth the time (maybe if you had kids and loaded up on cereal)
*Parking was free but was kind of a pain. It was also full every night - not sure what they do if it fills up.
I wouldn't rule out staying here again, but would probably look for a better deal first.
