I enjoyed the vibe of the hotel. My only gripe is the auto lights everywhere in the room and bathroom. The lights would start to turn off while I was in the shower and I had to open the curtain and wave in time to get them to stay on. Last would be they don’t have water for purchase or complimentary which most hotels do

We love this location and have stayed several times. The rooms are great, rooftop pool cool, and location walkable to the Orpheum where we are normally planning to see a concert. The best part though is easily the staff. They are friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable. Thanks!

Nice with Key Flaws

Pros: Well-designed space, near most of what we needed to get to in DTLA, lovely bathroom Cons: Can't sit in the lobby during big chunks of the day because it turns into a bar/cafe. So to meet up with others, we had to stand in front of the check-in desk or outside. Check-in took a long time with only one staffer. Kitchen in the basement is dark, dismal, but it had a fridge and microwave. Our room with 2 sets of bunks was extremely tight.

Property is neat, tidy and well maintained. Easy accessible to nearby restaurant such as dunkin, whole foods & CVS. The room was big enough for two. The rooftop food were good and nice ambiance to do happy hour and eat some snack and drinks.
