Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The decor of the property is colorful and bright, with cozy common areas to relax in. Room was very clean and the bed was the most comfy in several years of hotel stays, the location was only a couple the H-Mart, Metro, and dozens of Korean food gems, and almost as close to many Mexican places 3 blocks away on 3rd Street. I fly/drive in from San Francisco for K-Pop shows, and this is officially my Go-To place from now on.

Shelter

For the most part very nice. Short walk to Korean town. 1 block is a nice restaurant and grocery store. Rooms are big. However, my view was into somebody's apartment with their balcony full of trash. No privacy curtains in room. WARNING: There is a $20 fee added on each night for reason unclear. This is not a resort. Probably would stay here again.

Right in Koreatown

We have stayed at The Shelter Hotel a number of times when business brings us to the Koreatown area of Los Angeles. It is an older, eclectic building that has been well maintained. The rooms are all spacious and the furnishings funky and fun. Be aware that 4th floor rooms have a step up into the bathroom area. Parking is under the building an is convenient for a standard size vehicle otherwise it is street parking which might be difficult to find or far from the hotel. Internet has always been satisfactory. There is a resort and a parking fee.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
BEWARE! These are non-refundable rooms for a reason. Once you walk into the lobby, you'll want your money back. The rooms are even worse. I stayed here 15 years ago and it was a fun, hip, boutique hotel in Koreatown. The pictures on the listing looked like what I remembered. But when we arrived to check-in, the place was a disaster. Plastic sheeting and construction everywhere, everything in sight was broken or worn, and the place smelled of mildew or water damage. Our room had furniture that looked like an animal had clawed at it. My fiancé made the mistake of touching the bathroom door frame and put her hand in mystery goo. We felt uncomfortable and unsafe and told the desk we were leaving. They couldn't have cared less. They almost took pride in the fact that there would be no refund. They also refused to grant any money back when Expedia intervened. Horrible experience all around.

I only would choose this place for location. Otherwise, there are some rough edges I just couldn’t think it is okay. For example, the shower was half broken, not enough charging port, and cleanliness around the room.
