My room was clean but the AC unit could get quite loud when it was turned on and it was noticeable especially at night with occasional banging sounds, the wifi was also a bit spotty as I had a hard time staying connected while on online meetings.

We have stayed at this hotel 13 times in 16 years, which is every trip we have taken to LA in that time. The hotel is clean, quiet, reasonably priced, easy self parking and helpful, friendly staff. This is not a luxury hotel, but it has everything you need to have a great vacation.
