4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here for three nights in May 2013. We chose this location based on it's good reviews and also because it was in a safe neighborhood about three blocks from the metro station on Wilshire. The rooms are very modern but minimalistic, not a problem for us since we were here only to sleep and for an hour or... More

First off the "diva" at the front desk has terrible customer service! He should be fired. Neighborhood is pretty sketchy, and the parking is bad. If Ur lucky enough to park underground its OK but once all the spots are taken u have to double park and leave Ur keys in the desk in the lobby. The front desk is... More

Stayed here on a SUnday night since it was nearby KTown and centralized to Glendale and downtown LA. Weird setup. You walk in on the ground level next to the parking garage, walk up the stairs(or elevator) to the "lobby" which is nothing but a plain office desk. Nice dude greets me, checks me in and gives me card keys... More

Warning if you like a clean place to stay, dont stay here. Ive stayed at hundreds of places all over the country. I dont mind out dated hotels or even hotels that are run down just as long as they're clean. We got to the room and there was garbage on the desk and night stand then when we looked... More

The area is nice, close the metro station Wilshire Normandie, Mc Donalds, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, and others. The room is huge, really, with a king size bed. It's beautiful too. This hotel is really casual and friendly. The staff is young but they care. They watch my luggage after check-out because my plane was leaving at 11pm and I wanted... More

It's not a name I would have picked for a hotel that is trying for maybe a lower end boutique feel, but it has some pluses that make it worthwhile. The Pluses: good location surrounded by residential blocks, but close to restaurants, retail, entertainment (Wiltern). Modern, minimalist decorating. High-end plumbing fixtures and tile in bathroom. Friendly desk person(s). Big, empty... More

The hotel looks to be a block of apartments which has been remodelled. The neighbourhood is a bit dodgy to say the least. As we pulled up, the neighbours stopped and stared, didn't feel at all safe. At checkin (which was a desk in the corner of an empty room) we waited for a member of staff to appear, he... More

Beautiful to look at - but: no air (extremely stuffy room), no hot water, no water pressure, no service, and be sure to tip -- also: a shawl instead of a blanket (and a sheet, okay, a bed sheet. Props for that.) - no response to repeated requests for help w/the A/C. "Someone else must be using it. You wait."... More

Came for a concert at the Wiltern on a Friday night. Hotel appears to have been an old apartment complex, but was in a cool little area. No frills, but clean and safe. Plus, free parking and no stupid resort fees. Probably 7 blocks from the Wiltern. Would recommend.

We booked a room here to attend a L.A. Kings hockey game as it is only 2.6 miles from Staples Center. What a bargain! For starters, the location is great. Upon arrival ... wait for it ...
