Basic but sufficient boutique hotel
Stayed here to meet up with family in LA. Overall not disappointed for the price in this area, which could be upwards of $120 or so. 
A few hours before we were set to check in, I got a call from Jason, the manager, asking for my permission if he could transfer us to the Wilshire Hotel, a sister company, since we needed double beds and they only had king beds available and were overbooked. I obliged, but after reading the reviews for the Wilshire, I immediately called him back and said I'd rather keep the king room at the Shelter Hotel. Jason told me that wouldn't be a problem.
When we checked in, a lovely man named Luis assisted us. He informed us that we were getting double beds, much to our relief. Check-in was fast and easy, and he gave us instructions on how their parking system works, which was: If you get to the garage and there are no more stalls available, just drive in, double-park, leave your keys with the concierge and they'll take care of it. True enough, when we got back that night, the whole garage was packed like sardines, so we left the keys downstairs and that morning, we found our car parked in a stall.
As for the room: It's very spacious, although very basic. The dark hardwood floors are nice, and the beds comfy. However, we didn't find too many amenities in the room: no hairdryer (good thing we brought our own), no iron/ironing board, no pen or notepad (lol - I couldn't find any when I needed them!)...but they did have a small coffeemaker, an flatscreen TV with cable, the usual toiletries, and a cute little wardrobe with some drawers. 
I guess that's just how it is with boutique hotels - less is more!
There was a really loud pooch next door, so I rang Luis to ask if he could transfer us to another room. But he said they were overbooked and had no other rooms available. Thankfully, by the time we got back that night, the doggie had calmed down...maybe the owner slipped him some Xanax :) 
We were also awakened by an annoying sound upstairs, like a child on a tricycle running around the entire room. Good thing we needed to get up anyway. But it went on the whole morning and the bad thing was the floors/walls were too thin you could virtually hear everything.
However, the pros outweigh the cons - so if I ever need a place to stay in Koreatown again, I won't hesitate to book with them for a second time.
