Cons:

La propreté de la chambre, la petite tv avec sa grosse télécommande, et la pseudo machine à café qui n ai autre qu une bouilloire ,premier jour je trouve un énorme cafard sur la moquette de la chambre .

Clean beautiful Space, but unwelcoming staff
Pros:

Hotel and gym were immaculate, later than usual checkout (noon) made it really easy for us to depart after an event. Locker rooms were well appointed and thoughtfully designed. Club areas maintained the charm of old LA without appearing worn or dated, and the lounge upstairs was very reasonable for LA pricing.

Cons:

As a hotel guest who was clearly not dressed to workout at the gym, I got stopped often to show a hotel key card as I was moving about the building. The staff, while kind, created an atmosphere of unwelcomeness, as thought we did not belong in that space. An easy remedy to this would simply be to have card access entry points (like access to the elevators) so that we weren't constantly stopped by staff.

Très bon plan, notamment pour celles et ceux qui ont besoin d'être à DTLA ou proches de USC.
Pros:

Ce club / hôtel est une vraie bonne surprise. Les équipements sportifs mais aussi les espaces pour déjeuner ou se reposer sont de grande qualité. Le personnel à la réception comme aux activités est très chaleureux et compétent.

Cons:

Le service de chambre laisse un peu à désirer. Je déconseille de se promener seul le soir à pied aux abords de l'hôtel.

Booking issues and unhelpful support stranded right before flight, forced friends to rebook away
Pros:

the location is handsome

Cons:

* Booking issues: After following the property's phone instructions talking to the staff to cancel and rebook for the right room witht he right number of people, the cancellation request was left pending for days.
* Poor support: The property repeatedly delayed the decision—even when Booking.com intervened—right before our flight, forcing my friends to book elsewhere at a much higher price.
* Final hassle: A defective water bottle bought in the room resulted in a double charge at the front desk as I tried to exchange it. A friend had a double change on bottles as well.

Very disappointing — outdated rooms, misleading photos, poor communication, and extremely inconsistent customer service.
Pros:

Some of the front desk staff were helpful and tried to assist with the situation.

Cons:

The room was extremely small, outdated, and looked very different from the photos online. The furniture and facilities felt old, and even the TV was unusually small. You really do not realize how disappointing the room is until you actually go upstairs and see it in person. I personally did not feel comfortable staying there at all.

The refund process was also unnecessarily frustrating. Even after front desk staff told me that a refund would be issued, I was later told it still needed additional manager confirmation, and the process kept being delayed without a clear answer.

What made the experience worse was the attitude of one female front desk employee when I called to follow up. Instead of trying to help resolve the issue, she argued that simply going upstairs counted as “checking in,” even though I did not actually stay in the room. Her tone was rude, dismissive, and unnecessarily sarcastic. She seemed more focused on finding reasons to push back than on helping a guest solve the problem. Once I explained that the manager had already confirmed the situation, her attitude immediately changed.

Some staff members were helpful, but the room itself, the inconsistent communication, the repeated delays, and the attitude of this particular employee made the overall experience extremely disappointing.

Great location, great amenities, best breakfast.
Pros:

Close to public transit, best soft poached eggs ever, and Duke's Fish sandwich was wonderful. Pool great for laps, and decor and ambience was excellent. Enjoyed the jazz event on Sunday.

Cons:

Confusing access to women's locker room. Unclear instructions.
