Very basic and simple, do not expect anything fancy and you'll be ok. The history is kind of cool although this place could use some TLC in order to feel like a truly restored historic building. Somewhere between a dorm and a hostel in terms of the feel. Superb location and I could walk to lots if great places and to union station. Took the metro home from Hollywood, which was nice. There are long term tenants and there is some noise, like someone's alarm went off at 6 am every day and they didn't shut it off. Also there are only 2-prong electric outlets in the room so if you have a laptop be prepared as mine didn't fit the regular plug so I had to unplug the fridge to recharge.
