My husband and I stayed 5 nights at the Mayfair. The room was clean, comfortable. The staff, from registration to cleaning to concierge, were helpful and friendly. We walked to the Staples Centre and walked back in the evening and felt safe. The LA public transit is great and we could access it within a couple of blocks each way.... more

My wife and I stayed one night at the Mayfair. . . and will never do so again. The only positive thing I can say is that it's close to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where my sister just had a triple bypass - the reason we were there. Where do I start? The staff was not, in the slightest, cordial... more

___________________________ My advice: Avoid this place like the plague! It should be named, "The Pre-historic Mayfair Hotel." I was very disappointed and felt cheated/swindled. The only nice thing about the hotel was the lobby; it is very spacious, with high ceilings. But, the service and the rooms are really atrocious. The workers are apathetic. The rooms vary tremendously in size... more

A LONG five blocks from the closest Metro stop, area goes from OK to not so good pretty fast. Corner liquor store has a bulletproof glass cage for the cashier, but this bock did not feel particularly unsafe, just depressing. The staff is very polite and prompt to respond to requests. The room looked sad and weary but the bed... more

Read the other reviews and I have to admit I was a little apprehensive to stay here. However the price was great and so was the location. In fact, it was so good we have now stayed here twice. The staff was very friendly on both stays and helpful with directions and tips. Rooms are clean with dorm type refrigerators.... more

Downtown LA dont go there if you want to feel safe walking around at night.We found we had to do all of our trips and be back early because all the seedy charactors come out after dark. more

The hotel is very grand and very beautiful, however it's location was less than appealing. I felt unsafe once outside of the hotel and whether that was just my impression or actually was the case, didn't change the fact that I didn't feel able to go out after dark. The staff were welcoming on arrival, but when I had a... more

This hotel is suffering from neglect and poor management. I have worked in the hotel industry for many years and have never seen a so called 3 star hotel look in this bad a shape.It is in a not so great neighborhood in downtown LA. Our first room was on the tenth floor and as soon as we got off... more
