This place was nice for a quick stay. Check in was convenient and contactless. It was a 5-10 min walk to Little Tokyo which was great. We we're able to fine nice restaurants and a small supermarket for some basics. A towel was included in the room for each of us and so was a bar of soap, a small container of shampoo and a small container of conditioner. There was a mini-fridge in our room which was convenient. We didn't use the kitchen but it seemed well-stocked and clean. There was a room for laundry. We used the dryer which was $1.25 in quarters for a load and it dried my pants fine after I spilled water on it. It was dorm-style as described. There we're lots of rooms around us but we didn't see many people or hear a lot of noise which was nice. There was an AC unit in our room that we controlled. There was also a desk and a wardrobe to hang clothes if you want. We were only there for less than 48 hours so we didn't use the showers.
Some small things for why a 4 instead of a five. The bathrooms on our floor did not have sinks. In fact they were super small so opening the door while in the room was difficult (I basically had to straddle the toilet). It was weird having to walk back to the bedroom to wash my hands but having a sink in the bedroom was convenient for toothbrushing at least. The mirror above the bedroom sink was way too high. I am not a short person but I could only see the top of my head. My spouse who is 5 inches taller said it was tall for him. I think it must be set for people 6ft or taller to use which is just odd. The pillows in the bedroom were very flat. I basically folded my pillow in half and my towel and used that to boost the pillow which made it better. Internet existed but was super slow. So much that most of the time I turned it off and used data on my phone since pages weren't loading. The area itself doesn't seem super safe. We tried to be back before too late (8 or 9pm) since it felt kinda sketchy. When we were leaving, there was a man outside the front door wrapped in blanket and he had a pair of scissors and a lighter in his hand. It made me uncomfortable as I was putting the key back in the lock-box.
I'd probably stay again for a short stay. I think the biggest thing that did it for me was the convenience to Little Tokyo.
