Great stay
I thought this hotel first and foremost screamed "I am in Downtown Los Angeles!". And that's a good thing! I like hotels that have a little bit of character. :-) 
Hotel room was very comforable -- great climate control, comfortable bed and linens, plus bathrobe and towels, great black-out curtains, and a nice layout and design overall. 
The hotel common areas were all designed with both the business traveler and those seeking a Los Angeles "experience" in mind. A nice cocktail lounge, a wine bar, and a coffee bar along with a posh gift shop were located lobby level. Hertz car rental available on-site, and a great gym. There is also a 4th floor rooftop pool and bar as well although the hotel is more than 4 floors. 
The area around the hotel is a great place for nightlife and you will not have any trouble finding food! Great atmosphere inside and out of this hotel. 
Service was fantastic during the entire stay. Everyone was friendly and helpful that I encountered - front desk, bell staff, concierge, and housekeeping. My room was spotless and on the one occasion that housekeeping knocked before I had checked out -- I was minutes from leaving -- I was offered towels or water before she stated that she'd come back later. 
I loved this hotel and would definitely stay again if I need to be in the downtown area. Great atmopshere outside the room and quiet tranquility for a great night's sleep inside. Can't ask for more than that!
