I came here to visit my bf in LA and we stayed at this hotel for 8 nights in total. This place has a lot to offer:
The whole place, including my room of course, is set up right - clean, neat, bright, with a modern style and it’s quiet. Simone had clearly communicated with me beforehand with information including codes to the parking lot, the gates and my room, payment methods. Whenever I needed anything, I felt comfortable to text him via Airbnb app, and he’d respond quickly.
It’s close to Downtown LA. As someone who’s used to public transportation in New York, and first time traveler in LA, I found it fairly convenient to go from this hotel to downtown LA:
- Korean Town for sure. The walk to K town took me 30 mins.
- the closest subway station (B/D line) is 15 mins away, which you can take to transfer to A to Long Beach, or E to Santa Monica Beach; The Union Staton is just a few stations away.
- There is a metro bike share station if you’d like to bike around - ex. It’s only 20 mins from the Burlington Hotel to the Echo Park with bike.
But I’d have to say it’s very important to stay vigilant whenever you’re out.
- During the day time, you need to be carefully if you choose public transportation - avoid walking down on the streets where there are homeless campers.
- During the night time, I’d either order an Uber or just ask my friend to drive us around - being outside alone in this area is not recommended especially during weekday nights.
I’d recommend this place to those who would love to stay in a clean, bright place for their stay in LA, who’d enjoy the quiet and peaceful environment during their stay. And in general, traveling in LA without a car is tough, so you’d need to be vigilant whenever you go.
