This hotel seems to be a mostly residential property with locals and is a bit rough around the edges, so you gotta be comfortable with that. The check in process was a bit stressful, we didn’t get the code as promised and had to enter through the back gate and find someone to call the manager. But - the room was clean, spacious, comfy and a nice base to explore LA- in between downtown and the cooler suburbs of echo park and silver lake, and further, Hollywood. A good selection of supermarkets nearby. Note the room has cooking facilities but no crockery/cutlery, hot water or stuff to cook with so you gotta byo or improvise with the microwave. The pool was pleasant and aesthetic. All in all we had a great stay, thank you.

It works well for a solo few days staying!

It's hard to say because the place is under renovation these days so I didn't see any stuff really. Front desk guy was very nice when I checked in but front desk was close on weekends.

After we booked we got a message saying check in closed at :30. My husband wasn't flying in until 10, so I had to leave work early to get there in time. I arrived at 6:25 and the place was locked up and the lights were off. There was a family in a car who had been there an hour who also could not check in. We were lucky that a friend let us crash on his couch a few miles away. I assume the family slept in their car. We could not get a refund for that first night. The room was never cleaned. In the 5 days we were there we got 1 fresh towel. The bathroom window did not close and overlooked a 24 hour car wash, so there was constant noise and chemical smells in the room. There were no hangers in the closet, no chair for the table, no soap in the shower, no cups or glasses, no pictures on the wall. Very depressing place.

It was good for the price. However there is not 24 hour concierge and once the are fully booked, no one is around the property - they do have a number you can call in case you lose you keys or emergency, but it takes 20 to 45 minutes.

Overall a great stay

Well, i was feeling comfortable sleeping. The location was easy to find. The room was clean and had some basic things like a chair and air conditioning. The restroom was bigger than my expectations. The customer service was very good. The janitorial was very respectful.

Horrible Hotel

Horrible experience!!! The hotel was closed when we arrived & it felt like right out of a horror movie! We didn’t receive any type of notification beforehand that it was closed for service and it was super scary driving through the place while everything was shut down. Looks nothing like the photo provided.
