Great value for your LA stay!
Pros:

Been staying here for years. It’s my favorite hotel in LA for the great value. It’s clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The location is ideal for seeing lots of LA. I recommend it!

Cons:

Overall, no complaints. It would be nice if the rooms felt a little more modern and/or updated, but they are still nice rooms, and I like that they are carpeted.

Okay for a one-night stay
Pros:

Clean room, spacious safe parking, good bar&restourant open after 4 p.m.

Cons:

The hotel is in desperate need of renovation. The room was very small, outdated, with an old smell to march. The blanket wasn't put inside a duvet cover but was simply lying on top of it, which is absolutely unhygienic and unpleasant
