The staff was nice and they have security at night which is great in DTLA area. You use your room card to enter the elevator floor, I like that security protection. I had a great time solo traveling & this was the perfect stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The dorm - bunk beds have one ladder to get to the top bunks - this is difficult and hard to use - although it is aesthetically pleasing, it is not practical. WC in room is ok Walls are very thin - outdoor in the corridors had constant people talking loud and it was not a pleasant experience. The rooftop bar online states opening hours, however I went at 9.45pm and was told they were closing. Although I understand this could be a one off, this discredits the hotels amenities.

This is not a place family can stay. May be young lay back style dues would be ok, but definitely not family preference. I hear silence whole night, curtains are not blocking city lights. Window are 100 plus year looks, can hear street people talking outside. Total digester. I literally couldn’t sleep through out the night . Please stay away from it unless you are backpacking traveler saving dimes

Chose this spot for proximity to Metro and Bus lines for ease of getting around LA for a week stay. Nice room on 6F. I'm from NYC so used to it but kinda noisy from street activity, good to be aware of. Didn't make it to the pool or rooftop bar.

They allowed a check in at 2.30 am, which was the deep sleep time for other guests. I was in a quad bed room, we woke up when the new guest barged into the room. The staff should have more thoughtful about it
