The "business center" is in fact a table in one corner with a computer that has no internet connection or even microsoft office? One can't even open a word document! I was given the key for a wrong room. In the middle of the night someone was trying to open my door. You can't access the reception area from the rooms side after 10 pm. They close the door. The "pool" is like a big tub next to the parking area. The only way to eat dinner is to order from outside. They have Dominos Pizza ad printed on their door keys. You think they would have some sort of arrangement with Dominos but no. You have to give the address in detail. There is no electric socket to plug in your charger. Unsafe location. The streets around the hotel are not lit at night. And I have seen several vans with groups of people who look like gangesters partying in the street, kissing, drinking, etc. The personnel: nice, but helpless. The problems with this hotel are bigger than any single person's capability. Other gests: frequently drunk, some look suspicious for men bringing in prostitutes, some argued with receptionist refusing to pay a refundable $* for incidentals.

Although the hotel is in a bit of a dodgy area, the hotel itself was a pleasant surprise. It had a tropical feel and the front desk was helpful. It is within walking distance of the Staples Center. The room was clean and quite spacious. The breakfast was great and I would definitely stay there again for the price I paid.

Closest place to eat was Burger King or Subway did not feel safe walking on sidewalks. Front desk was NO help when I asked about close-by dining locations and TV did not work. Rooms tiny. Air conditioning was very, very noisy due to bad fan motor. Room smelled moldy and of cigarette smoke (non-smoking room). Slept with lights on to keep roaches from moving around. Window would not close properly, so that I could adequately lock window. In evening, an employee hanging out in back parking lot had his van backed up to my exterior window with stereo blasting. Reported to front desk, and nothing was done. This continued over an hour. I finally got attention of the employee in parking lot and he did MOVE the fan a few windows down, but music still continued until way after dark. Front desk did not give wake up call - the evening clerk had forgot to make note I wanted wake-up. The breakfast area was adequate; standard dry cereal, bagels, bread, orange juice and lemonade (??? for breakfast), coffee (very good), and fresh waffles. I will say, the breakfast attendant was outstanding. Very, very noisy hotel; sirens going off constantly due to emergency traffic - understand there was a violent crime had taken place that evening shortly after dark. attendant, most hotel staff had very poor English skills.

Good at all. The spaces are tight and hard to get out when hotel is full. There was a bus that took up a good portion of the lot for two nights. Front desk people were okay. When I booked in advance this hotel was labled as Downtown LA. It is not far from LAX but neighborhood is not very good for a family with small children. We had No saftey issues but there was a few incidents across the street the first night. I am from Philly so I am use to big city atmosphere but if you have small children I would not suggest this area. Overall a great value, clean rooms and I will stay here the next time I vist LA. -

this place was horrible, when we got there from universal studios there was no parking...the front desk staff took a long time on the phone before checking us in. maybe they were short staffed? unfortunately I asked by girlfriend and her family to book a room there with my family and after we all got checked in, they saw a huge flying bug in their room, I was so embarressed...they checked out, but we had to stay because all the other hotels in downtown were booked. I am still telling this story a year later.
