The hotel is very clean and the people are super nice. The roof top is so charming. The area of LA around the hotel is a little "interesting" and there is public parking around the corner. I thought the amenities fee was ridiculous since we didn't use any of the amenities.

I really liked the hotel. My daughter and I stayed when we attended the Ariana Grande concert. Everything was great, nice room, many walkable eateries, and a nice staff. Only complaints I have are that our window was facing the street and it was sooo loud all night long with people and cars. I couldn’t fall asleep until after 3am.
