Nice but loud
The hotel was nice and it was the perfect location for us BUT bring your earplugs because it felt like the street noise (lots of people hanging out by the bar across the street) was directly in the room.

Chic little place
What a cool little place. It balanced chic and the 1940s LA vibe. Spacious room. Great shower. Tons of restaurants within a block or two. Easy half mile walk to the arena. Easy walk to Jewelry District too.

I enjoyed the atmosphere - friendly, quiet , spacious and a good location. The common space in the lobby offered a sense of community without crowding. Great offerings like the cafe, bar and restaurant besides all the great places outside of there.
