“For Los Angeles, finding abundant, free parking alongside clean rooms is a real advantage. I especially note the consistently helpful and polite front desk, a detail that stands out in many opinions I explored. The in-room amenities, like a microwave and fridge, combined with effective climate control, make this a practical choice.”

The TV worked great! The Wifi signal may not always be optimal but overall it was good enough to watch movies online.

BathroomRefreshing Showers

Hot water was plentiful, and I appreciated having toothbrushes. The grout around the bathtub could have been better cleaned, but wasn't terrible.

DiningCoffee heaven

The lobby offered an espresso machine! It freshly ground the coffee beans for lattes and mochas. It was the best coffee I'd had in a while.
