My husband and I drove Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles and stayed in sixteen hotels altogether over a three week period. The Standard Downtown was by far the poorest. We found it very uncomfortable, very unhomely and very "cold". Sparse bedrooms with a sunken bed surrounded by a wide "plinth" which was impossible for my disabled husband to get into or out of. The staff were very rude and unhelpful. We asked if the bed could be raised by placing a spare matress under it to help my husband but they refused and, in fact, found it funny that he had to crawl to get in or out of the bed. Completely disabled unfriendly! Two weeks later I still have a bruise on my shin were I constantly triped over the ledge.Additionally, the shower is open to the bedroom on one side. Good size shower and perfect for romance but if you like to wash your "bits" in private, impossible! The roof top pool and bar was very 70s and the food menu odd and expensive. The roof is very popular at night with the locals and has two doorman guarding it. The hallways smelt damp and were very dimley lit. We were charged for using the mini bar even though we had not opened it and the parking was very expensive. I can think of nothing positive to say about this hotel.
