Such an adorable property! Love the mid century modern vibe. The restaurant/bar is awesome. Super walkable to the farmers market/Grove - we walked there for breakfast every morning! Perfect location in LA, easy to get to pretty much all the major locations. Highly recommend!

Don’t stay here if you want friendly service. The entire time we did not feel welcome by the staff here. Travelling from Australia, we were so excited to visit LA and the experience was dulled by how we were treated and looked at by staff. One of the only positives, the location.

Water pressure at hotel was very lack luster there was very little pressure. All staff was super friendly. Bar on site had a new bartender so the first night went to order some drinks and about half were not available due to new bartender so that was a little disappointing. On Expedia it said two complementary drinks was thinking it would be a drink at the bar or a drink of choice it was Prosecco just not what I was thinking two drinks would be. Dog friendly which is great.

A lovely, boutique hotel in a very convenient location opposite The Grove Farmers Market and central to other tourist sites in LA. Staff were friendly and helpful, area felt safe and rooms were compact but clean and thoughtfully decorated. Would recommend and stay again.

Overpriced
I think its overpriced for the size and the very scant amenities. You pay for the location. Very small area and no working table.
