I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is excellent and really convenient for getting around the city, and the rooms are nicely designed and comfortable. However, the service wasn't up to par, with some confusing aspects. The dining options were also not as good as they could be, as breakfast closed early.
Rooms
7.0
The rooms were comfortable and had a nice design, with plenty of storage and clean bathrooms, but they could really use some soundproofing since they are in the basement without any sunlight.
Service

The service left something to be desired, as the staff seemed overwhelmed and didn't provide clear instructions on how to use the elevator.

The location in Downtown LA is fantastic, super easy to access public transportation, and really convenient for exploring the area.

Unfortunately, breakfast closed earlier than expected, which was disappointing. The options were quite limited as well, with only basic items available.

The facilities were decent, but nothing too extraordinary. It would have been nice to have a more comprehensive set of amenities.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a nice view and were generally comfortable, but they were a bit too dark for my liking, and I encountered a leaking toilet. The service was helpful, especially at the rooftop bar and pool, but the staff could have been a bit more cheerful. The location is right in the center, which made it convenient, but I did experience quite a bit of street noise. Overall, it was decent value for money, especially with its amenities.

The location is quite central, which is convenient, but there was quite a bit of street noise, and it’s near a sketchy part of town.

The dining options were pretty ordinary, reminiscent of a high school cafeteria with basic choices like cereal.

The hotel featured an amazing rooftop terrace and pool, which were lovely places to unwind.
