    This is one of my favourite hotels to stay in when I’m just passing through LA. For the price the rooms are super nice, clean, spacious and comfortable. The rooftop is really lovely and chill. I love the retro vibes and little historical parts...

    I loved the rooftop and the fact there were a mix of people staying in the hostel, hotel, and also people from the public.

    It looked much better than I expected, and the location was perfect too. There's a Shake Shack and Dunkin' Donuts just downstairs, so you'll always have food nearby. I'll definitely stay again.
