Our bed sheet only covered top half of the mattress. No ventilation so everyone someone takes a shower, the whole place gets really humid. Lock didn't work properly. Also, breakfast was just packaged danish bread with coffee (small Styrofoam cups). Wireless was unstable. Too sketchy. Never going back.

On our 2nd night we were awaken by the police sirens from the plaza across.

At least the guy at the front was nice.

I guess it's never a great sign when you arrive to find your hotel room door propped open and all the windows in the room open too.
However it was New Years Eve and we were having to get what we were given.

The hotel staff and service were great and the location is perfect but the smell in the room was unbearable.
After a while we thought it had gone and so shut the windows and got ready to go out.
When we returned after our night out we almost gagged when we unlocked the door - it smelt very strongly of cat pee.

Perhaps we were unlucky with the room but I wouldn't take the risk of staying here again.

We arrived here in the middle of the night and I have to say it was pretty scary at night. However, we realized in the morning that it was not in as bad a location as we thought, however we did have a 7 minute walk or so to the metro which we needed to catch in order to get annywhere pretty much. The room was not impressive. It was big, and we were put in a smoking room despite having asked for non-smoking. It smelled awfully of cigarettes and the bed was full of burn marks and holes and the sink and toilet in the bathroom also had burn marks. The next day we were moved into a non-smoking room which was a lot better. It didn't smell so bad and didn't have burn marks everywhere. However, I still didn't feel completely secure in this hotel. The staff, however, were really friendly and helpful and were always giving us directions. They even helped us figure out how to get to Anaheim. It was a family-run business and they allowed us to leave our bags in their room after we checked out so that we could continue exploring LA. Overall, i think if you're on a budget, this isn't an awful place to stay as long as you insist you get a non-smoking room if you are a non-smoker. It is difficult to find somewhere affordable that is closer to the sites and the metro is pretty easy to navigate.

Myself and my fiancee stayed here in the middle of April. Could not have asked for better service. We arrived pretty late, about 12am. Our room was still available, we checked in with no bother and had an amazing nights sleep. Room was huge, king size double bed, 2 bedside tables and 2 dressers. Huge bathroom, outstanding shower and bath combo. We booked a bus tour of LA the next day through the owners and instead of letting us walk, the owner gave us a ride to where the pickup point was.

We were initially supposed to fly out around 11pm the following night; instead of carrying our bags round all day, we were allowed to leave them in the owner's living area. This was a great help. To cut a long story short, our tickets had been cancelled. After a quick phone call, we arrived back at 2am. No issues at all; shown back to our room and told we could stay as long as we needed to until our flight was sorted. Owners gave us directions on how to go and pick up our re-issued tickets.

Really cannot recommend this hotel enough. Had the owners not been so accommodating, friendly and helpful, we would have been in serious difficulties. Enjoyed our stay here immensely and would not hesitate to book again.
