    The room was not clean. It seems like the bed sheets and the bath tub was not cleaned prior to check in. I saw hair in the pillow sheet and the bath tub. Didn't feel sanitary to sleep with the pillow so I slept with no pillow.

    The staff was very nice and room was spatious.

    The AC was in a weird spot in the room, so only a portion of the room got cool. There was mold in the bathroom and I could see condensation drips, I assume from the AC location.

    Location is great!! Cute little hotel in a great spot in LA. Room was simple and cozy for two people. Despite the below, I would definitely book there again. I do recommend to anyone visiting and who doesn’t want to stay in DTLA or someplace extremely pricey.

    Not fault of the facility but some guest were noisy and that was not beneficial for a perfect stay.

    Good location. Parking availability. Nice big room with microwave, hair dryer, iron board and all required for a comfortable stay. Bed was comfortable. Nice and helpful staff at the reception 24/7

    We liked everything except the wifi, which was slow and unstable. We couldn't connect to the internet in the first day. However, this is an issue that can be easily solved

    Our stay was nice. They have an excellent coffee machine in the reception room.

    It would have been great to have a kettle, cups (not plastic or paper), plates and cutlery so as to take advantage of the microwave.

    Young Sandi at Reception was very courteous and helpful. Public transport was convenient, such as bus 210. Microwave and fridge was good to have. Coffee machine with hot water was appreciated. Did not use housekeeping for our 5 nights but changed towels on request was no problem.

    The walls are very thin and you hear every single noise of the next rooms and shared hallway. The gate is missing, so not adequate people from the street came a few times screaming out loud. Towels need to be changed, as very spotted and grey.

    Last day when checking out, found out that there was someones full sized red feet nail which got glued to the blanket and was not visible for us when checking in, that was totally gross..

    Location and district was good to reach any spot around. Parking was always enough. Young girl working at reception went an extra mile to help is out with all the struggles of unstable internet and changing the room

    The air conditioner is closer to the fridge, microwave, sink, bathroom sides. It’s not in the same space as the bed is in. Therefore, it seems that the ac doesn’t work as effective as it should be. The air in the room (the bed side) feels a bit warmer and not moving.

    Clean room. Friendly Staff. Free parking. Parking feels safe. Also feels safe walking around the neighborhood. Close to Korean town, many dining options.

    The room was a little run down and felt empty, I may be wrong but it seemed like the room we got was about to be renovated and was missing a few pieces of furniture and wall decor. But that means more room for our luggage so not a huge problem really. The AC was quite loud. I got to take a peek at another room and it looked much nicer and newer so I suppose it comes down to luck. The ice machine did not work, and I count on that a lot (to fill a cooler) even when there's a fridge. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice as he tried to give me ice from the staff fridge, and while it wasn't enough ice to help with my cooler I very much appreciated the intention and was able to use the ice for a couple of drinks lol. There was a hairdryer holder but no hairdryer so we had to request one (which the front desk kindly provided).

    The gentleman at the front desk was really nice and friendly. The hotel felt safe, the room was big and had a good fridge, AC, bathroom, microwave. We were missing a hair dryer but the front desk lent us one. Everything was very clean. The hotel exterior looks quite good and welcoming. The free coffee was fantastic, it was an actual espresso machine (in the lobby) that ground the coffee beans on demand, with multiple options like latte mocha etc. It was the best hotel coffee we'd had in a long time. Plenty of parking, we were able to park right in front of our room easily. Decent soundproofing (or just a quiet environment), we didn't hear much from the other rooms. The bed was clean and comfortable. We extended our stay by one night. The location was great as it was right between the dowtown area, hollywood, and the beach, and there wasn't too much traffic, easy to get an uber.
