This is one of the nicest boutique hotels in LA that I’ve personally been to!
The charm of boutique hotels is that they’re supposed to be more affordable than traditional hotels, and while it’s smaller they’re supposed to have a chic feeling to it that gives you a nice ambience.
Most LA boutique hotels only put effort into the rooms while the building itself looks like a halfway house and you feel like you’re going to get mugged in the hallway.
I’m glad to say that this place is not that! I wish I could give a higher rating if possible. From the outside it already looks nice and hip with the way they decorated it with a grass wall and neon sign. But even to get in, you need to enter a code into the keypad. So building security? Check.
When you enter there’s a really hip lobby filled with awesome wall art and physical pieces that gives you a really great vibe of the place. There’s also a bar but it was closed (I assume because of COVID).
They even put effort into decorating their elevator! There are no lights in the elevator except for neon fairy lights that tastefully litter the ceiling so it looks more like the evening sky. Very charming yet lit the lift well.
The room itself was also very nice. Clean from top to bottom, came with a mini fridge (even with a freezer with ice trays), and incredibly comfortable bed and sheets.
The bathroom is nice as well but the shower was the one downside. The head of the shower is nice but the water pressure was SO high it actually hurt to take a shower because it felt like the water was pricking you. I for one enjoy acupuncture and pain but after one shower my girlfriend opted to not use it again.
The room is also located facing directly onto the downtown street. That’s either a plus or a minus depending on the type of person or sleeper you are. I personally loved it and love rooms that feels like you’re right above the street.
Very good clean facilities and attention to detail in making guests feel safe by actually making their building look nice and clean. Thank you! Will do my best to return 👍🏻
