We needed a place to stay that was walking distance to an event nearby at The Orpheum. This place was right up the street. I am grateful this place was close & walking distance, but I was shocked by how filthy the streets surrounding the area were. For such an upscale expensive place I didn’t expect to witness a human fully peeing & pooping in the street more than once during my short stay. People seem to walk their dogs in this area & not pick up their dogs poop as well. Although outside didn’t feel safe or sanitary, inside was lovely! Very clean & super nice with great front desk security that helped us feel secure. I felt it was unnecessary to charge a large cleaning fee & then require us to remove all trash from inside upon checkout or be fined $100. Wild! I wish it didn’t cost so much & we would have stayed a second night. That’s downtown LA for you!
