Practical, no-frills hotel with great WiFi

Practical, no-frills hotel for a decent price given the location. I was in town for a conference and just needed someplace relatively inexpensive (for downtown LA) where I could work remotely. While the building itself is rather old and you shouldn’t expect any creature comforts, the staff was super friendly and the WiFi (which is free for guests) was blazing fast. Also, the location was fantastic for going to the conference center and hanging out downtown.

Old building, clean hotel

It’s a great location the guy in the front desk is so helpful and friendly. The only thing is the place is in a historic building, and you can smell is old. The room was so clean with a mini fridge, microwave, tv. Just is the place looking and smelling old, but still I want to back there next time. The rooms have a nice view, is so quiet, and the price is so affordable. I recommend the place.
Great view from our room

Tiene una buena ubicación, cerca de restaurantes y por cerca de la línea morada del metro, yo me quedé para la celebración del fin de año y llegué en patinete de lime al Molina Park, Central market, the broad como punto negativo diría que luce un poco viejo y no tiene parking gratis

smack dab in the middle of skid row in LA. This is an old 1920's looking building. You can see and smell the age of it. It was horrible in every way. The best part was the front desk guy during the night shift, he was awesome and a saving grace for this horrible hotel.

Ok for the price

The room was decent for the price, but the TV was not cable and only a few air channels that didn't have anything good to watch. The shower heads need replaced and highly harsh.
