I will try to keep this short and sweet. I love this hotel. I love the staff (nicest hotel staff I have encountered anywhere in all of my travels). I love the location (the other, pricier hotels ... i.e. Sunset Tower, etc...are sexier, but not in a great walking location). You can walk to the Farmers Market or the Grove or Beverly Center (or Beverly Hills if you are feeling a nice hike). And the rooms are great for the money. They are mildly banged up, but the bed is comfy, and the bathrooms are newly renovated. Not a lot of street noise (ask to face the small pool). Wifi is free (I think with most every rate) and the restaurant inside is tasty. Again, this is not the Four Seasons, but I always stay here while in Los Angeles as everything feels walkable (a rarity for this city) and accessible (takes about 4 minutes for Valet unlike some of the other larger properties in the hood).

Dear Mandalaypokerplayer,
Thank you so much for your repeat visits with us during your trips to Los Angeles. It is always a pleasure to know when someone appreciates our terrific West 3rd Street location.
I am sorry to hear that your room was mildly banged up. We do have a rotation maintenance program to take rooms out of guest use and completely go over them top to bottom. If you notice anything like this on a future visit please let us know and we will prioritize that room.
On behalf of myself and the entire staff, thank you very much for the kind review. We look forward to your next visit.
Warm regards,
Tohnia Miller
