    Reception staff may not always be around but they give you a code to get through the front door and you are able to leave your keys at checkout if no one is there.

    Great location with breweries, cafes, and restaurants nearby. There’s a night market selling $1 tacos in walking distance. Staff were friendly and the washrooms were clean. Although they are shared, I didn’t have to wait once for a shower stall.

    Pretty much a bed, shared bathroom and nothing else.

    Room size wasn't bad and the bed firm in a good way. We also had a view of the skyline in our room.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and the bed comfortable. It was quiet at night. There is a communal bathroom for women, and I was usually the only person in there.

    It was fairly loud at night outside which we could hear from our room. Folx were out late partying and shouting and such that kept us up a bit.

    We had a convenient stay and enjoyed the Little Tokyo area. The daily cleaning services were great and it was nice to know the spaces were taken care of nicely. It was great to have A/C and heater amenities as one day was super rainy and chilly.

    It's about a 10 minute walk to the nearest Metro stop, but I knew that when booking

    I wanted to stay here specifically because of it's history in US punk rock especially as the Al's Bar music venue was located on the ground floor. The hotel has had a makeover since those days and the rooms were much larger than I anticipated. Toilets and shower area kept very clean. Staff were all friendly.

    I didn’t expect anything fancy considering the low price of the hotel. So everything here met my expectation.

    I like the location of the property. It’s 5 mins walk from Little Tokyo Metro station which is connected to Union Station where you can catch the FlyawayBus to/from LAX airport. The location is safe and has amazing restaurants in the neighborhood. I love japanese food and we were on the right place to enjoy authentic restaurants. The hotel has shared bathrooms and the room is enough for 2 people. It has mini fridge and small tv. We got 1 window which is the most important thing for me when renting a room. It’s next to night bar and restaurant, but it did not bother us much. On our 3rd night, there were bunch of guests that were so loud, shouting, and partying next to our room. I am glad that the hotel people managed to remove them before things get worse. Also you’ll meet homeless people around the area, but I think It’s normal around America. We did not experience anything bad, the neighborhood is pretty much safe for tourist and first time visitors of USA. Over all It’s worth the price consider you are in LA. Not a fancy hotel but more than enough to have a peaceful stay and it keep safe our belongings while we are away.

    Some of the female shower pipes are a little tricky to figure out and had water coming out from other pipes, but still good enough to have a shower with.

    Staff member Masuma was so amazing and helpful! She made the stay extremely comfortable. Location is also great, about a 10 min walk to Little Tokyo Metro. Room was clean and the shared toilets are constantly being clean which is helpful.

    We asked for a quiet room, and were put to one right opposite the noisy water boiler system for the whole building. I didn't sleep well first night, but then got ear plugs and it was fine. If you like quiet, avoid rooms 409 and 410.

    Super clean rooms and restrooms, friendly and helpful staff, proximity to public transit and to downtown.

    Location isn’t great. We didn’t really feel safe walking around, especially at night. For some reason, Google maps kept taking us to the wrong location.

    The staff were friendly and the room was relatively nice and comfortable. The bathrooms were adequate. We only stayed one night though, not sure if I would have wanted to stay longer.
