“Cheap place, thats what you get!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We payed very cheap for our stay, but the next door parking lot charged us 15usd the overnight.... So, I´m not sure if it was worth it..... The decoration of the lobby is really nice,and they have a nice space with 6 MAC computers for the guests to use. We stayed on a private room, not a shared one, the decoration was also nice, but the carpet was pretty dirty... the bathroom was clean but the shower was really small and dark. The neighborhood at night is really frightening, many homeless people around, I mean hundreds of them... But during the day its not that bad. On the block the hotel is located, there aren´t many stores, but if you walk heading the "Jewelry Center" there are Starbucks, Bakeries, the Rite Aid market, and many other places around. Well, what I can say overall, is that if you are alone, and you haven´t find anything cheaper, then, it´s an ok place to stay. But if you´re going with your family I wouldn´t recommend!

“Rude Staff and Unsafe Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

There's one staff in the reception who's very rude. I think everyone who stayed here knows her! Be careful if you want to stay here because it's dangerous to walk at night outside. My friend was mugged on his way back to this hotel.

The room is descent and clean but that's it. Breakfast is terrible.

“terrible location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

location of the hotel is so unsafe. homeless people are around the hotel and when you go out starts to follow you. rooms and beds are OK but breakfast is terrible. there's only one option you can choose. it's corn flakes. so much noise in the street and hotel you can not sleep well.

“Very central”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

Great location, helpful staff, clean rooms and good value. To people complaining about street noise, what do you expect, it's downtown LA!! Beds were comfortable and I enjoyed my stay there. Would recommend getting private bathroom as opposed to shared bathroom for convenience. Will definitely be making a return visit when I go back to LA. :)

Room Tip: Choose rooms with own bathrooms, because shared bathrooms are a bit inconvenient.

“A delicious pie with a mosquito inside”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

Great location. Unbeatable prices. Room clean. Good common spaces. Excelent pc free to use. Breakfast ok and pop corn for all at 4pm. Wifi for free. Really a bang for the buck. Unluckyly one day the room was not cleaned and the bed not set: when i went back in the evening none could explain why or solve the problem. That was really the only issue.
