Adorable, Affordable and Delightful
I stayed from June 10 - 13
Room 203
Rate: ~$150/night
.
Check in: A breeze. The staff was very helpful and even had my room ready early at special request. They wear very cute themed outfits: jeans/t-shirts/suspenders. Very chipper and pleasant.
~
Check out: Also a breeze. Very fast, friendly and efficient.
.
Lobby: Very modest lobby with lovely open-air, but covered place. It opens onto the patio of 'Tart', the hotel's restaurant. More on that later. One business computer/printer, some sofas and complimentary drinks/snacks round the clock.
.
Room: Modest, but very cute. A little hipster-ish, but in a cute way. Exactly as pictured. What it lacked in decor it made up for in charm. 
.
Bathroom: clean, small and very plain. I could have used an artwork on the wall or something, it seemed almost too sparse to the point of being bare. The sink is outside the 'room' with the shower and toilet...not my fave because you have to touch the doorknob between, but the sink was large and very nice.
.
Bathroom details: Bath products were nice, had a unisex odor (I was not super pleased when I found one of mine had been used previously, but it's not a deal breaker, just a bit icky); Towels - you got 2 bath, 2 hand and 2 facecloths. Towels didn't always match, but who really cares? If that ruins your trip, you need help; Bathmat was a bit flimsy; Sink was large, solid marble/stone and had plenty of space for all my belongings. 
.
Bed: I had a king and it was very comfortable with 3 pillows and 2 accent pillows, they were of varying firmness, so you could find your perfect pillow combo. The denim comforter cover was too heavy and very hot, I suggest removing it.
.
Desk: The chair is country/quirky and kind of uncomfortable. Could use a cushion. Aside from that, good amount of space and good height & lighting.
. 
TV: Basic USA cable, all good 
. 
A/C: Very adjustable, but LOUD. Had to turn up the TV if it was on.
. 
Closet: Cloth curtain, safe, extra pillows, ironing board, iron, 2 drawers. Very roomy, though I personally am over those retro hangers that are made to avoid theft. What a pain.
.
Curtains: could have used a blackout curtain, the stripey ones were cute but didn't do much to block out light.
.
Sleep: My only complaint is that the rooms/doors are not well sound proofed. Each night I was able to hear the delivery trucks or maintenance teams reversing their trucks/machinery and the 'beep beep beep' went on constantly, no matter what hour. Aside from that, it's very lovely.
.
Extras: DVD player, fridge, comfy chair for sitting, iPod dock/clock
.
Property:
Very cute loungey areas and lots of open air sitting areas. The pool is small but they filled
~~~
Tart: 
The service and food were great! The staff is fantastic, the drinks were delish, the food even better. I was very happy. I had 2 dinners and a breakfast/brunch there and I was happy with every meal. The prices are also VERY reasonable.
.
Valet: Fast, efficient and friendly.
.
All in all it was a great trip. I travel frequently to LA and I will stay there again. The friendly staff and great value are enough to bring me back. I am SO happy I found this little gem!
