There was a bit of a musty smell in the hall but I was just there to sleep and I got checked in quickly, asked if I could pay to upgrade my room, which I did, and was so comfortable!

I got was exactly what I paid for & for that, it was excellent. I’m a very simple, frugal person & as long as I have a bed to sleep in at night & a place to put my stuff in while I’m out & about doing my thing (I flew in from NJ) & having fun & my co-inhabitants were cordial & kept to themselves, then everything’s great & I’m happy to say, it was. The area’s not the most nicest most scenic nor safest looking but I felt reasonably safe enough walking about when I did. For the affordability & caveat, it was worth it & if I’m ever in the area again someday & in a position where I want to save as much as possible, I’d happily do it again. Thanks!

Only .5 miles from Crypto Arena, it was the perfect location for us to stay overnight for a hockey game. Staff was wonderful, hip bar in the evening and comfortable beds.

Not my cup of tea.

I decided to try a hostel, knowing full-well I"d be sharing a room with others. I naively thought people wouldn't come in at 2 am (they did), my ear plugs could drown out the snoring (they couldn't handle the volume), and that people wouldn't slam the door which could have easily been shut quietly (6 times within 10 minutes, really?). My bad; lesson learned. But the overall poor lighting of the lobby, the fact that the pool doesnt even open until noon in L.A., the lack of staff and accommodations for breakfast, and the cold, leaking basement area for "lounging" were more than I could take. I chalked it up as my financial loss and booked another hotel for the rest of my stay. Staff were great, however, I will not be staying here again.
