First, we were greeted by Caesar at the valet, and he was super friendly & helpful, the room was very cool, and way better than anticipated, Luke and Carisa at the roof top bar were top shelf in every sense of the word, the view, the pool and all the folks enjoying it were also first class. I have to say the cheeseburger and fish tacos were so good, and the burnt eggplant at the Exchange was something I would drive here for anytime. My wife and I had a great time in DTLA and will for sure be back!! A big thumb's up Freehand!!!

I want to say that the hotel is great, however, our room was exactly by the elevators and had instead of proper walls, there was glass. Sadly that led to the room being so very noisy that sleeping was a bit challenging. People would go in and out at all times of the night, some people would have their phone conversations right outside the door and we could hear everything, even the people on the other end of the phone. So that was a massive disappointment. The second one was the bar on the rooftop. If one is expected to pay 12 usd for a small IPA, and then pay for health tax and service charge and then a tip, bring us 2 glasses for the beers at least, do not just dump two cans on the table. Other than that, the room itself was clean and comfortable, the bed was comfortable. Housekeeping visited every day. The windows however are in desperate need of soundproofing. We were on the 3rd floor and the noise pollution was truly awful.

Ok. Not the best.
Building was old. Rooms are ok. Very old elevators. Pool area was not that great until sat night. Lots of homeless around. There is also a night club in front so lots of noise. Outside smells like piss. Price and what you get do not match.

This was a beautiful, very cool hotel. We used the valet parking option, I drank amazing coffee every morning from the coffee bar with the nicest baristas. Had breakfast a few times which was also great. Walked to Little Tokyo from the hotel as well as the Last Bookstore. Whole Foods was on the opposite corner and stayed open until 10 for room snacks. The valets were the nicest crew of guys- fast, friendly and charming. Front desk staff was super helpful with needs. Room was as pictures, spacious, comfortable and super clean. The room even had blackout curtains. Would definitely stay again.

I enjoyed how close this was to the metro and other reasonably priced restaurants. There is a CVS super close in case you forget anything. I didn't get to explore the hotel itself, but they have a fridge, microwave, water fountain, and little lounge area for guests in the basement. I stayed in an all female quad for a little extra security, the only downside is the AC did not seem to work at all. Thankfully, it was a pretty cool outside so I didn't get too hot, but I can't imagine how this might feel in the summer. I would definitively stay here again if I ever traveled alone and in LA!

Neat!
Such a neat place! Pros: the rooftop pool and bar were vibing, the rooms were clean, the lobby was very cozy. Cons: bedding was very minimal, I’d recommend bringing a blanket from home. There is a $15/day parking garage right around the corner (soooo close). Woul be a good option over the $60 valet parking.
