Travel tips
Plan on walking to 7th Street/Metro Center (about 9 minutes) for rail connections around Los Angeles, especially if you want to avoid driving and Downtown traffic. Event nights near Crypto.com Arena and LA Live can be busy; allow extra time for arrival and departures. If you intend to park, budget for valet parking and check pricing in advance, as fees are a recurring guest concern.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the staff and service, and the Downtown location is repeatedly noted as a major advantage, particularly for LA Live and Crypto.com Arena access. Room comfort gets positive mentions, including comfortable beds and strong showers, and breakfast is highlighted for variety and quality by some diners. A key negative theme is dissatisfaction with valet/parking cost. A smaller but serious theme appears in some reports of room-condition and maintenance issues (e.g., worn furnishings, cleanliness, and inconsistent AC), suggesting variability in room quality.
