Situated in the centre of Los Angeles, The Metric - Los Angeles Downtown is located 2.5 km from Microsoft Theater and 2.6 km from Crypto.com Arena. Built in 2021, this 3-star hotel is within 3.6 km of La Union Station and 5.3 km of Dodger Stadium. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge. The place is very clean and well-maintained, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. They offer bottomless coffee and water in the lobby, along with a selection of delicious baked goods available from 7 to 11 a.m. I particularly enjoyed the freshly baked banana loaf, which is available daily. The staff was very accommodating with my late checkout request and truly goes out of their way to ensure you have everything you need. Their friendliness made me feel right at home. Additionally, it's close to downtown LA and the convention center, just a 30-minute walk away, with plenty of nearby grocery stores and shops.
