uncomfortable hotel

The staff were really nice and helpful and it is really well located. But the big inconvenient was the bed so uncomfortable that was not possible for us to sleep the first night.

Meh

It was $50 per night so you don't have very high expectations. It wasn't great. There were always homeless people outside of our room, the shower (which was just a showerhead coming out of the wall onto the bathroom floor) didn't drain so we had 3 inches of standing water. On the plus side, the staff was very nice.

Value for money

Met my expectations. Spartan room, shared toilet, wifi in lobby ONLY. If you're looking for place to spend the night, this might be a good choice. Exercise caution in the neighborhood though.

College Dorm Experience

Note that I stayed in a "cheap" room so I am critiquing one of their "simple" accommodations. The room itself has a bed, some drawers, with a TV atop them, a lamp on a lamp stand and a sink. That's it. No closet, no bathroom. For a toilet, you hike down the hall - and there is no sink in the toilet. No one can wash up after using the toilet except by using all the door knobs and locks between the toilet and their room. The dorm room experience of using the public toilets and showers was novel but tolerable. If you're on the top floor you will find NO water pressure. The majority of the staff is unhappy and unhurried. Some will be pleasant at times but mostly they seem to be doing a job in which they don't feel vested. Few of them have the attitude that you are a guest whose comfort they would like to assure. My stay was 4 nights and I saw a broad sampling of the staff. The hotel in general is a building that was well made and has a good deal of charm. It is beginning to show its age and isn't maintained perfectly but it is clean and safe. I would recommend this place for someone who is not particular about staff attitudes and don't mind some inconveniences to save money. I was satisfied because I got what I needed.

good deal

if you are looking for great service than this is not the place for you. However if you are looking for a great deal, than this is it. for a little over $60 bucks a night and in the heart of la this is a great deal. save your $ and use it everywhere else! there are many shops and food places in the area.
