The hotel building looks more worn out than the pictures shown on the website. The carpet in the lobby had a dull grey colour. I told myself not to expect too much when I saw the carpet. The lobby was much smaller than it appeared in the hotel website. The room was small but clean and tidy. There was no... More

My boyfriend and our roommate and I stayed here in early November, 2012, for the Hard Haunted Mansion Day of the Dead music festival in Los Angeles. We chose the Garden Suites Hotel as it was near the Metro and to be honest, was one of the few places that had rooms in our price range at the time we... More

I was looking for a hotel near the Wilshire Ebell Theatre, but nothing near the theatre seemed to have good enough reviews. Per advice in the TA Forum, we ended up staying at the Garden Suites Hotel and taking a quick taxi ride to the concert (I think it was $8-10 total). My teenage daughter and I had a blast...and...

Definitely a place most suited to Korean travelers, as others have noted. The whole experience was a bit surreal. I stayed here on business, and it was in perfect walking distance to where I needed to be. That was the only advantage. The suite in which I stayed was decorated in early 70s green and brown colors. Everything worked okay... More

Although this hotel is friendly to Westerners, it obviously caters to Korean travelers. The front desk staff whom I spoke to all spoke fluent English and Korean, and some spoke Spanish to converse with the cleaning crew. Most of the signs in the hotel were in both English and Korean. There were few amenities, consisting of a small microfridge and... More

The staff was very friendly and I felt safe on the property, but the room I stayed in was in desperate need of some work. The only thing in my room on the 4th floor that had been updated in the last 10 years were the sheets on the bed. The carpet, the furnishings and the bed itself were well... More

Just stayed here from October 1-11, 2012. Very good location. Close to a lot of restaurants and eateries. You have a big 24/7 supermarket right across the street. There is a sizzler restaurant nearby which is quite affordable.

I stayed here for a conference on Korean culture and history. I did not pay for the hotel so I cannot comment on its value. Positives: Location was great. The Wilshire/Western metro station is just a block north of the hotel. While the LA Metro isn't as good as NYC's or Chicago's it can get you to a lot of... More

I stayed here while visiting family in Koreatown. Yes, it is Korean run but the front desk person spoke excellent English. I didn't care about amenities like pool or gym so no problem for me. Personnel were nice, room was clean, comfortable king size bed, good hot showers. Neighborhood had grocery store across the street, several coffee shops, McD's next... More
