I stayed there with a friend who flew in from out of town. We're young starving college students, so price was the main driving factor behind us choosing the Cecil Hotel. We figured as long as we kept tabs on each other, the location wouldn't be too much of a problem, and my friend already lived in a less than... more

Covered in bites, am heading to the doctor now! Please never go here! I brought my bags back and washed and dried everything but I am afraid I could have brought some bugs with me!

The lobby was nice. Very good business area for getting work done. Room was fair for the price. Bed bugs ensure that I'll never be back. Both my wife and I are covered in bites. Killed a few and left them for the staff to inspect. Hope they take action. more

Ok...I came to L.A by myself for the first time, *just* because I wanted to go, from England. I booked myself into a more expensive hotel nearer LAX for my first night because I didn't want to travel far from the Airport in the dark and now know where I was. I found an amazing deal on expedia offering the... more

The hotel was clean, the staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. The lobby is glamourous and looks fantastic with all the christmas decorations. We had just arrived off our flight from Brisbane (Australia) and we were allowed to check in early and get some sleep. The staff at the front desk were so nice and gave us good advice... more

We recently stayed at Cecil Hotel for 4 nights. We arrived by Geyhound, and although the station is close, I would not recommend walking to the hotel. This is because the streets surrounding the hotel are full of homeless people, crack heads, and groups of thugs. I had no idea that downtown L.A was such a dodgy area. In most... more
