9/10 Excellent
Cool rooms, amazing rooftop pool - location is spot on (read review for more)
Likes: The hotel is located in DTLA, not far from both Pico station and 7th/Metro. The Convention Center is about 20 minutes away on foot.
The location was perfect for what I needed and wanted, and I didn't find it dangerous at night at all
The rooms are great, with a strange but cool hipster-esque vibe to them. The view from the room, and in some cases literally from your bed (I think the layout changes from room to room) is amazing, with sunset and sunrise right in front of you.
The rooms are large enough, and you get plenty of free water, tea and coffee included in the price.
There's a rooftop pool, it's not large or deep, but it's good enough, and the view, again, is amazing.
You also have a rooftop bar, a lounge bar and a cafe in the same building.
The price is okay for the location and for what you get
Dislikes: The coffee/tea mugs in my room hadn't been washed properly, and one of the (many) towels, the smallest one, hadn't been washed properly either, with traces of somebody's lipstick on it.
But I read a lot of reviews before booking and there a couple of recurring criticisms and I want to address one: location.
The location was perfect for me, but that's because I like DTLA, and the fact that it can be a bit dodgy, (it has always been like that) doesn't bother me.
However, I know that some people just feel uncomfortable in DTLA sort of by default because it definitely has a certain vibe to it so bear that in mind
