The hotel was nice and had a good vibe. Downtown LA suffers from little pedestrian traffic, empty storefronts, and a lot of homeless people. I think the hotel has seen a decline is people.

Beautiful hotel inside and amazing room. Great service. Out front, too much smoking and open drug use right near the front door. Find a way to warn guests about legalities. I felt bad for the valet.

Was not bad but been to hostels that were much better. Mattress not that comfy, pillow flat, no top sheet. Stayed there because was taking a train in Union Station which is close. So location is great with many food choices to be had along with supermarket, pharmacies and shops. However would not stay there again.
