I was a little surprised by the inside of the building because it kinda reminded me of a scary motel but I had no problems whatsoever.

I loved the close location to the train station and Little Tokyo! Every morning, you can wake up, and 5 minutes later, bam you can be at Little Tokyo to have some nice Japanese An-Pan with cold green tea for breakfast and then chill around the area until you get some kickass salmon-tuna-unagi don for lunch. So many little awesome Japanese shops and food places in the area.

The room itself was not too hot, cooled by a fan and not A/C but no problem. Clean and the bathrooms/shower were quite clean too (nothing to complain although nothing to write home about) You need to bring your own towel, soap, shampoo etc.

The bed was very clean in addition to the floor. Working outlets, free LA guidebook, comfortable bed, good location ... really it was a steal in my opinion. Who needs a swanky hotel really?
