What a beat up old fossil!!
This hotel is HORRIBLE. It shows ok online in the photos but the second you walk in the disgusting stench of perfume and air fresheners is only meant to cover up something even more smelly - - - God only knows what that is! The service at the front desk is atrocious. We made reservations for two rooms and had our confirmations with us but they couldn't find one of the rooms for about 20 minutes. We checked in at 11:30pm after a 6 hour flight from NY so all we wanted to do was check in and go to bed. Finally we got both rooms and went upstairs. One of the rooms was a smoking room even though we had called to confirm that we had non-smoking rooms. We walked back down to the lobby and were told 1. They have no other rooms for us (which I simply did not believe) and 2. the room we had was not a "smoking room". When I asked "Then why are there ash trays in the room" the genius at the front desk had no answer.
The beds are about 10 years old, creaky and bouncy. The linens are like sandpaper. You will read words on this website like "old world charm" and "historical". Those are all great for sight seeing, but not for when you want a good night sleep in a clean room. There were hairs in the sink and the tub when I go to my room. The funniest (and most pathetic) thing about this place is that it actually looks like they put some money into a really crappy facelift. For example, they put six pieces of marble in each tub so they can say "marble baths" when, in fact, the rest of the bathroom is gross, dirty and falling apart. Oh, if you like TV don't get excited either. You get about 10 channels and you would feel like you were watching European Hotel TV with the quality of reception.
Also, I wouldn't mind if the place was $75 per night, but at over $200 per night (plus $10 per day for wifi and $40 per day to park) you can do WAAAAAY better in downtown LA.
Bottom line: If you have ever stayed in a nice hotel you will be disgusted by what they are trying to pawn off at this dump.
