We got what we paid for. Basic room with a bathroom. We stayed during New Years Eve and it was not bad (a bit noisey, but we were able to sleep well). The building is old, but for the price, you can't expect the hotel to look and feel like the Hilton. If all you want is a room to... More

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights so that we could attend some events at the Staples centre and surrounding places. We were a bit cautious due to the cheap prices and lack of photos but we very pleasantly surprised. Very short walk to everything, Staples centre, Ralphs supermarket, Denny's etc. Room size was good and there is paid... More

I object to it being called a flophouse. Ok, there are long term guests. And, ok, the guests were not all that well bathed. But to be in Downtown LA, 6 blocks from the Staples Center, and the LA Convention Center, and with a price just a fraction of the Ritz-Carlton, I enjoyed having a place. The room was very... More

Contrary to the previous reviwer, this hotel is neither filthy nor dangerous. It is no-frills but that is reflected in the price. It is very clean although slightly dilapidated.This area of Downtown is perfectly safe. Frankly, I think the previous reviewer is either insane or workiing for a rival operator. More

This hotel is nothing more than a flophouse which preys on unwary tour groups and degenerate transient tenants. It is difficult to imagine the intelligence level (or hygiene consciousness) of anyone who would recommend it. It is filthy and dangerous. More

The room was presentable, the TV/AC/lights were all fine, water temp and pressure was great. The neighborhood is so-so at night. For the price, it was a great deal, and saved me $$$$ over other name-brand hotels in the area. Front desk service is a bit blah. PS: a co-worker staying at the Wilshire at the same time found a...

I agree with the other positive reviews - it's a great value. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the Convention Center, the hotel is clean, the staff is courteous, the wi-fi is fast. I really don't know what those hateful reviews are all about, except perhaps they are exposing some insecurities about a different culture (the entire staff of the... More

The hotel is located a few blocks from the Staples Center and convention center with many restaurants nearby and a big Ralph's supermarket 2 blocks away. Hotel is old but staff are obviously making an effort to maintain it with fresh paint and constant cleaning. Staff was ultra-helpful, let us check in at 7 AM when another hotel we'd booked... More

I just completed an 11 night stay at the Stillwell with my best friend. The room was clean which was the most important thing for me. We had 2 double beds plus TV with cable, a fridge, a desk, and night stand. The shower was super powerful and there was enough closet space for the two of us. Brand new... More

I am going to keep this short and simple. Seriously people this is one of the many old, dirty, and cochroach infested hotels in Los Angeles. I had to stay here for the only reason it was cheap and close to the convention center. But next time I am willing to pay a little more for peace of mind. This... More
