I agree with the other positive reviews - it's a great value. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the Convention Center, the hotel is clean, the staff is courteous, the wi-fi is fast. I really don't know what those hateful reviews are all about, except perhaps they are exposing some insecurities about a different culture (the entire staff of the... more

The hotel is located a few blocks from the Staples Center and convention center with many restaurants nearby and a big Ralph's supermarket 2 blocks away. Hotel is old but staff are obviously making an effort to maintain it with fresh paint and constant cleaning. Staff was ultra-helpful, let us check in at 7 AM when another hotel we'd booked... more

I just completed an 11 night stay at the Stillwell with my best friend. The room was clean which was the most important thing for me. We had 2 double beds plus TV with cable, a fridge, a desk, and night stand. The shower was super powerful and there was enough closet space for the two of us. Brand new... more

I am going to keep this short and simple. Seriously people this is one of the many old, dirty, and cochroach infested hotels in Los Angeles. I had to stay here for the only reason it was cheap and close to the convention center. But next time I am willing to pay a little more for peace of mind. This... more

We picked the hotel because it was cheap for the area, free parking and you could walk from the Orpheum. It's probably a good thing I was not sober checking in after the first nights show. Check in was easy, elevator dirty, got too our room and no air on. Turned on the wall unit and it did cool down.... more

Its been almost a year and I still have nightmares about this place. It was dirty. even the front lobby was disgustingly dirty. We stayed on the tenth floor. I thought the elevator was going to fall the whole ride up. It was a small, crowded, rickety junk bucket elevator. Then we get to the room - the locks hardly... more

Do not expect luxury, but this hotel is perfectly acceptable and convenient. Modest rooms with older furniture and baths, but they are kept clean. You can’t beat this for downtown LA on a budget. There are 2 restaurants in the hotel and a convenient coffee shop on the same block just north of the hotel. more

This hotel was horrible. I stayed in the hotel during NBA All Star Weekend in Feb. 2004. All the other hotels were either overbooked or completely over priced. I should have knew something was horribly wrong with the Stillwell Hotel when they only charged 55.00 each night. The hotel stunk the entire time. I had to hold my breath walking... more

Really not too bad but far from a Hyatt. Excellent location. Close to transportation. Downtown location a plus. The Indian resturant is good and the bar has cold beer. I was here two nights and plan to stay at the Stillwell in Feb. 2006. Very close to Union Station if you travel Amtrak. more
