My husband & I were in town for a convention. I decided on Figueroa Hotel because it was not a business hotel. I like funky but comfortable and that is just what we got. It was also the closest to the LA Convention Center. It was convenient to have the breakfast buffet offered (not included) in the lobby in the... More

I don't really know why they would not extend your parking. Really stupid. We extend check out times regularly on the rooms. Odd, I need to look into that. Could be that a number of parking spaces might have been promised to an event..Lakers or Clippers or Kings..being right across the street that might have been the case Glad that... More

I was a little nervous about choosing the Figueroa Hotel for a USC graduation/family reunion because I have a picky, business-traveling ex-husband who would be included -- and what I knew about the Fig was that it was not like the chains that dominate business travel. But I shouldn't have worried. Even my ex was charmed by the colorful and... More

All of you were so very nice, Really enjoyed having you all here. I need to take this opportunity to correct something. Trip Advisor now has us as a 4 star hotel and we are NOT. At best we are 3 stars. We should not for example be ahead of the Westin Bonaventure.I prefer for our guests to have low... More

I travel a great deal for business, and having Great service combined with affordable rates is nearly unheard of! Not at the Figueroa - first, the Location is perfect; whether on business or leisure you are close to all that downtown L.A. has to offer. I was able to walk everywhere. The service at "The Fig" was impeccable; from check-in... More

We just spent our anniversary weekend at the Figueroa Hotel...and what a wonderful experience it was! The pictures online do not do this hotel justice...as soon as you see it you immediately feel the history associated with it! The decor is amazing...and everything is just beautiful! The pool/jacuzzi area is an oasis in the middle of downtown! So relaxing to... More

I was in LA just for one night to see a play and to take care of some work business the following morning. They did not have an iron/ironing board in the room. When I called down for one, it was brought to me pretty promptly. But the iron had some sort of burnt "stuff" on it and the second... More

In speaking with the front desk staff they never got the impression that you were asking to be reimursed for your pants. Proper procedure would have been for you to ask for the manager and they would have reached me and I would have reimbursed you.I did call the lady who was registered in the room to ask for the...

Had a wonderful four day stay at "La Fig" as it is known (and admired) locally. Tom the exquisite service to the hospitality of the hotelier, it was a most enjoyable stay. The setting is tres chic in that Uno Thimansson is a most congenial host and the room was so much fun to call home for a few days.... More

Overall a pleasant experience and nice play to stay downtown. The hotel has lots of charm missing from the sterile environment of a typical convention hotel. However, some "normal" amenities were missing. The price was excellent compared to the other alternatives. Pros: Excellent location near the convention center and Staples Center. Good service, very helpful and friendly. Actual room keys... More

I've had the opportunity to stay at the Figueroa twice now, while attending conferences, and I'll be there again this year. It's got everything I hope for when going to a conference - good communication while setting up my stay, attentive folks at the counter, and comfortable rooms. The breakfasts are good and reasonably priced, and I like being able... More

We prefer hotels with a unique point of view - versus generic hotels like the Marriott/Holiday Inn. and the Ritz Carletons of the world are out of our price range. So BOTH The Standard (which we stayed at for 5 days in Dec) and the Hotel Figueroa (which we stayed at for 4 days in April) are the kind of... More

In an article many years ago they referred to the Standard and Figueroa as the Yin and Yang. Frankly I have never been to the Standard but always viewed it as superior to us. So for you to favor us is really quite something. Thank you for taking time out to write.Actually all hotels downtown in our category are gone..I... More
