Cleverly disquised YMCA
The pictures we took look fun, as the colors and lighting they chose seem to make really good digital pics. Hats off to the decorators who have done something exceptional with not much to work with. I like a quiet room. You will not find this at the Figueroa. Its possible that the windows are original from the 1920's when the building was erected as a YWCA. I can't remember when I've been to a hotel with single pain (spelling intentional) windows in recent years. They didn't seal well and all street noises were available for your listening pleasure in the room, even on the 11th floor. There is a night club across figueroa that blasts music with a very effective subwoofer well into the night. If you want to know what happened to all those CRT tv's, well you can find them at street curbs on trash day or in the rooms at the Fig. We couldn't get the message light to go off on the phone. A gift basket was waiting at the front desk for two days and no note or message was passed on. High marks for a jacuzzi that was hot enough, and a good empty clean fridge in the room. No black out shades. Curtains were ring on rod, loose weave cloth. Small not ventilated bathroom, with a chrome handle exposed, flush loud, public split toilet seat toilet. AC bulky old noisy window unit. If your going to be happy with the 50 bucks you saved not being at the marriot, and you have the constitution that can sleep through an earthquake, then maybe you will appreciate the decorations at the hotel. My beautiful girlfriend dubbed the hotel appropriately, The Exotic Marigold Figueroa.
