I was so very pleasantly surprised with my stay here. The lobby was a time capsule into the past, but very well maintained. I was greeted warmly by the person at the front desk. Everyone was very friendly. Our room was spacious. Shower was hot. Breakfast was included, which helped us save money. It is standard continental, with waffles, bacon, pastries, yogurt, cereal, boiled eggs, noodles, fruit, juices, tea, and coffee. Parking is also free, which is rare in LA. The location is largely a residential area, but there are lots of great Asian restaurants nearby. You will need to rent a car if you are staying here and plan to venture elsewhere in LA. And be prepared for a drive. But since we’re from a major city with lots of traffic, it didn’t bother us as much. Now let me be clear, these are not luxury accommodations. But if you are looking for budget travel, and are ok with an older building, then I recommend. You really can’t beat the price for what is offered here.
