We stayed at this hotel to celebrate my teenage daughters birthday. One the place was like an ice box. Eventhough I mentioned it to the front desk they totally did nothing to correct the problem. Which made it absolutely unbearable all night long. Walls are thin all the noise traveled up from the night club. I really expected more from... more

My girlfriends and I wanted to stay in a hotel near or on the strip so we don't have to worry about cabbing it all the way back to the westside. I considered a few places (with a lot better reviews), but ultimately went with the Standard due to its location. Although the lobby area is nice, and the front... more

Went to LA for a friend's holiday party. We stayed at The Standard because it was the closest hotel to his house. It was fine--clean, normal amenities, nice people at the front desk--but I wish it wouldn't claim to be some kind of upscale joint, because it isn't. It irks me when places try to pass off "cheap" as "minimalistic,... more

The Standard is 'LA' Bling. Not such a wonderful hotel in terms of service and friendliness of staff, however a very beautiful and contemporary design with great attention to detail (door handles, lift-chutes). The location is not so good and in a rather dark side of downtown. The only asset is a fantastic rooftop pool with stunningly breathtaking views over... more

I have to admit i was someone *anxious* after seeing how so many people "killed" this hotel in their review, but I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about - sure the hotel is old, but it is a piece of hollywood! and has a great tradition here. They use it for big movie productions like OCEANS TWELVE,... more

sadly this falls into the category of basic hotel dressed up as more and charging rates accordingly. overall i liked the style but it was a bit shabby - reminded me of miami south beach hotels which had seen better days. you pay a premium for location (sunset blvd) and their own sense of their trendiness. staff were friendly but... more

Very pretentious staff. Not surprising considering the area it is located in though. The rooms are very basic and definitely Motel 6 like. All I can say is that this place is trying to be something it is not. If you are a 20something who is underweight and trying very desperately to be hip - work or hang out here. more

Heard great things about how the bar and pool areas would make for a great time. But what about the lobby and rooms? A friend came with me this past weekend for a birthday outing. We travelled a long way to get to LA and were disappointed with the hotel. The lobby looked cheap and my skin itched all night... more

I travelled over to Hollywood from the UK on business and had the misfortune of staying at the Standard. The hotel itself is pretty average and I would consider it, at best, a 2-star hotel - certainly NOT a 3-star as billed - it comes across as essentially a converted motel. I wouldn't normally bother writing a review, except that... more
