    There's not much they can do about this given the age of the building, but just be aware that there are no elevators. No real complaints otherwise.

    Great staff. Masuma was able to check me in early and in a better room than I booked (because of a no-show). Room actually had a nice view of the downtown LA skyline through the window. The room itself was nice. Comfortable bed, plenty of space, big fridge, TV. More than enough for a solo tourist. Bathrooms are shared, important to know that before booking, but there are several on the floor and they were very clean. The location is top tier. The neighborhood is lively and safe, with lots of restaurants/bars nearby. The light rail station is about a 5-10 minute walk away, so you can easily travel to other parts of the city.

    There's no elevator. I stayed at 4th floor and I have to carry my luggage using the stairs. The Aircondition was not working properly. The filter gets iced for few hours of operation.

    The location near bus/train station. Near to good restaurants to eat

    one of the shower and one of the sink were not working on my floor (3rd). the room doors dont have the thing that slows it down so it makes noise when people close it and it woke me up a couple of time.

    The window air conditioner cycled off and on during the night pretty frequently. We got used to it by the 2nd night. Shared bathroom was clean, but felt a little exposed.

    Clean hotel with comfortable beds and good water pressure showers! Surprisingly little street noise. Easy check in and check out, great location, and affordable. I would stay here again.

    Its in the art district of LA. On one side of the Hotel are bars and people on the other side there are homeless people. In LA there are a lot of homeless. The skidrow is close by. We never come home after dark. I just cant give the Hotel more then 8. My girlfriend missed a hairdryer.

    - comfortable beds - shared bathrooms were clean at our stay

    A breakfast.

    Room had all the facilities the Safe being a bonus. I was aware of shared bathrooms and they were the cleanest i saw in stopping in 7 other hotels. Office staff happy to help with minor inquires and a godsend when checking in and out. Location was 5 mins from the metro station brisk walk and 1 stop from Union Station the main hub of the transport in LA. At night has it's night live which also flows to the hotel with it's area being safe at night. For more intensive night life is about 15 minutes away walking .Thank you Masuma and Moises for a great stay.

    The doors are not insulated and are very noisy. Being a hotel with shared bathrooms, noise can be heard until late and early in the morning. The air conditioning is also very noisy. But it wasn't so hot that you had to use it.

    In the centre of the art district and close to the Japanese district. Free parking nearby, though difficult to find.

    Obviously none of the rooms have any plumbing. Bit the bathrooms are easily accessible and well kept. But just be aware. There also aren’t bins in the rooms but there are easily accessible ones in the halls.

    A lovely well kept and good value hotel. It’s right in the middle of Downtown and really close to the metro line of you need to get around without a car (not easy in LA). There’s also a great little corner store on the same block and Little Tokyo market just round the corner.
