The hotel is not in the heart of LA and it doesn't give you a chance to get the best experience!! First of all you don't have a bathroom or toilet in your room it's down the hall! The only thing that's in your room is a bed, tv, and a nasty old 80's sink!! You don't have central air... More

My wife and I spent two nights here over the weekend, visiting a son who was graduating from law school. The weekend was very busy with the AMGEN bike race, three major sports events at the nearby Staples Center. We were concerned about staying here, until we checked in. We opted for a room with a private bath. We loved... More

Stayed there 2 nights. you can have a room with a private shower and toilet For $62 US I thought it was OK . Close to everything you could need .

Firstly, although the hotel is in downtown LA, it is far from being in an unsafe location. I found that the whole area around the hotel is actually... More

I booked this hotel through expedia .com as I am driving towards the hotel, what I saw was enough to make me and my family not want to even get out of the car. We had to Pay for our parking 20$ as we entered the hotel and... More

My wife and I showed up for a reservation and the reception wouldn't let us check in with just my ID because my wife forgot her ID at home. She promises that Cecil hotel wouldn't charge “no show” fee through booking.com. Yet! they did. I contacted their book keeping department and again promised to talk to the reception that night...

Me and my fiancé spent four nights here and it was very pleasant. You'd be an eejit to expect a five start hotel for the low price you pay. It's no way near as bad as people are making out and it's in a great location with the metro down the street couldn't be more handy. More
