Stayed here for a conference in May. It is basically the closest hotel to the LA Convention Center in what is a rather lackluster downtown LA. The rooms were standard Holiday Inn, fairly clean etc. The restaurant was ok and the service staff attentive. The bar was small but kind of fun at times with the Staples Center crowd. The... more

I came here for the Anime Expo convention in the Staples Center and this hotel was the nicest and closest hotel around for this event. Also, it is literally across the street from where the Michael Jackson memorial service was and there are some great restaurants in the plaza such as WolfGang Puck's and there is even a midnight bowling... more

Stay here if proximity is important. Staff was good but go outside for food or a bar more

I had an absolutely terrible experience at this establishment. The customer service was very sub-par and the facility felt more like a hostel than a $250/night hotel. The parking attendants were so rude, and embarrassed me in front of my business client (barking "25$! $25! as soon as she exited her vehicle at the valet." I could have overlooked one... more

My wife and I stayed there for 2 nights and the staff were very friendly and helpful -- they really helped us enjoy our LA experience. The hotel was clean and very good value -- it's a great place to stay if seeing an event at the Staples Centre. more

It is close to many restaurants, The Staples Center, Nokia theater, and Club Nokia. There are tours that you can take right from the hotel. Everyone that we excountered there, including... more

Stayed here on Jan 2nd for a Lakers game at the Staples Center. The Center is 1 min walk away which is fantastic to avoid the crowds. It has a nice pool and a nice bar. It is located in an area with nice shops and restaurants. more

This hotel is nicely located in downtown L.A. It's not too far from LAX (an easy drive), and one block from Staples Center. The front desk personnel didn't impress me, but they were OK. They weren't able to answer some easy questions, though. The decor of the hallways is 1960's scary. But my room was nicely redone. I had breakfast... more
