We loved our stay at The Hoxton. It has a fun modern/retro style but still comfortable and clean. We upgraded to the larger room based on other reviews here, but didn't see the smaller room so I can't say for sure how they compare. Bed was super comfy, and the shower had great water pressure. We drove from the Bay Area, and found a parking garage about a block and a half away that was $12/day, which seems very reasonable for LA. Spent a wonderful evening on the rooftop restaurant/bar with great food and service. While we loved the pool for lounging, it's not really set up for swimming, unless you don't mind swimming in the middle of a restaurant! Overall, great experience!
