The value is terrific and the location is great. You can have a great experience if you have an open mind and manage expectations. If you're expecting something like a luxury hotel, you're going to be disappointed. It is an old, historic building after all. I had my own private room - it comes with a mini fridge, desk, sink, and mirror. Bed and sheets were clean. They provide you with a towel and dental kit. There is no air condition but the room comes with fans. Traffic noises bleed through the window and can be quite noisy - so if you're a light sleeper - bring ear plugs. The other patrons kept to themselves and were respectful. I barely saw them. The shared bathroom and showers were kept clean. There is a shared kitchen and laundry you can use. The host was quick with responses and very friendly. READ THE MANUAL and follow instructions for check-in and check-out. The instructions are easy to follow. I walked everywhere and there are tremendous places to eat. You're very close to Little Tokyo. I'd definitely come back again.
