Pretty decent hotel in DTLA. I was not amazed but it was clean. If you’re a light sleeper, definitely come prepared for the sounds of cars. You’ll hear it regardless even if you’re on the top floor. The hotel does not have any little shaving kits or bottles of water, so don’t bother asking.

Thanks for the feedback! DTLA can be a bit noisy but we do have rooms which face away from the street. Perhaps, next time, we can locate you in a different room. Apologies in regard to the shaving kits and water. We will follow-up internally as we normally do have the kits available upon request.

Spacious, clean, amenities one would expect with a hip DTLA hotel. Good atmosphere, tons of foreigners stay here for short and extended stays. Makes for a lively, fun, and mysterious vibe. The staff is both professional and helpful. I highly recommend it!

Good environment, friendly staff. Could use an AC unit & microwave in the rooms. Kind of a pricey stay but you get what you pay for. Within walking distance to a lot of shops and food. Great stay overall!

The rooms are clean, the bedroom is great, there is plenty of space. The location is great and the staff is super friendly. I would definitely book here again, as it is conveniently located and allows me to explore the city center by walking.
