Inside, the hotel was clean, safe, spacious and the rooms were well equipped which made it a pleasant 3-week stay. Unfortunately, this part of DTLA is dirty and once you step outside you smell of urine everywhere. Lot of homeless people around. Sad state of the city! Lots of walkable things to see within 30 mins. Good dining options nearby as well. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of affordable parking options nearby. The garage at 835 South Hill street was a very clean and safe covered lot 5 mins walk away. We were able to park there for a monthly price of just $200 purchased through a 3rd party app.

Loved the hotel room! 12th floor is the top level and feels very clean, spacious, and super comfy. Interior feels modern industrial and is a nice slice of heaven. The area outside the hotel is a bit sketchy, but that's to be expected when you're like four blocks from Skid Row.

Property is amazing with all needed facilities and helpful staff. Really appreciated. Only downside is area, lot of junkies around and very bad smell while roaming around. But 7th street metro is walkable which takes you to everywhere in LA. I highly recommend the property...if you are ok with area, you can happily stay there

Great building/room, poor access and one towel

Room was beautiful. Code to get into the building did not work, code to get into the elevator did not work, but the code did let us into the room. No one at the desk. One towel for 3 people, went down, still no one there. Called the number for concierge, no one answered, after 20 minutes went to bed.

It needs to improve the noise isolation

I really enjoyed the hotel, the rooms were big and spacious. The decoration and the industrial design was great. Everything looked really good. I really enjoyed the fact that there was a full kitchen on it. The only part that wasn’t good was the noise isolation. I could hear everything that was happening on the street and people moving chairs on other rooms. I wasn’t able to have a good night of sleep.
