I believe we got a deal on the price, which made a great value for our money.
Broadlind hotel is ideally situated in LB, in the heart of downtown, a stone throw for the beach, and close to the subway to DTLA too which is a good option to avoid traffic in the area.
The check in process was smooth and instructions very clear. While this is indeed a no front desk hotel, staff is available on site and via phone.
The room was really nice, cozy, and the decoration tasteful. All amenities were available.
As stated by other guests the place can get a bit noisy due to poor insulation, but the building being historic I don't see how that could be fixed and we weren't disturbed during our stay except from a noisy group of travelers on the very first night.
My only "complaints" would be that there wasn't salt or pepper in the kitchen, and that the bath towels were leaving lint all over you when you used them, probably because they were brand new and hadn't been washed beforehand.
Overall I recommend Broadlind hotel and would definitely stay again !
