It was okay. I stayed for 3 weeks as I needed somewhere to crash while working in LA. The bonus of the place is the location (easy to get to Pasadena or to drive to DTLA) however not much around to walk to. The place smells strongly of food at all times but it was quiet. There is no shower associated with the room - you need to go into the shared shower for that. I solved it by going to the gym every day and showering there instead. As I say, the experience was ok but not the best. Would have been easier if I had been there a shorter time. This is for the traveler who is budget conscious for sure.
