Benjamen's loft is so cool! Checking in was super easy (self check in with a code-- it was also great not to have to keep track of an apartment key all week) and we LOVED taking advantage of the hot tub and pool on the roof deck (only one flight up). It is sort of a strange neighborhood--skid row a few blocks in one direction and trendy brunch spots a few steps in another) I would not have felt comfortable staying in this neighborhood by myself but my fiance and I enjoyed our stay. The parking garage across the street is $16 overnight which didnt seem too bad compared to others in LA!
