Stayed here one night because we had a concert to go to in LA and didn't want to have to bother driving back home afterwards. Now, its rated 3 stars here and I believe 2 or 2 1/2 on Priceline (the site used to procure the room), but I think that is a bit overrated for this hotel. To me it felt more like a better situated 2 star value chain hotel.
First off, you have options for parking (valet or self). We chose self which is located in a parking structure attached to a mall and is a short hop from the hotel ourselves. This structure ended up being the view from our hotel room. To park in this structure you need to bring in your ticked and they'll stamp it and charge you $17 for overnight (it would've been $20 had I just used the parking rates for the structure).
Check in was quick and easy. The room was average to below for a 3 star facility. Internet was included and they did have LCD televisions, but the room itself looked like it belonged more in a Clarion or Days Inn instead of this place. Again, I emphasize that it suited the purpose of our stay and did not take away from it in any manner.
What sold me on this place was location. It is right in the heart of Little Tokyo and a short walk, public transport, or drive to many spots you'd want to see or visit. For us, it was half a mile from the venue our show was at. The truly exceptional aspect of its location is food choices. The best of Little Tokyo is literally outside your room. Daikokuya, a top notch ramen joint, is right across the street and during the 3 to 4pm hour, not much of a wait.
If it came down to it, I would stay at this place again if I got it at about the same price, but I would have a real hard time justifying paying any more than I did.
