OK downtown hotel
We arrived on the 27th September for 3 nights on the final stop of our holiday. The lobby area of this hotel is amazing, can feel the history. There is a corridor full of black and white pictures of parties held years ago. The hotel is very busy with conventions and weddings. The swimming pool is very old fashioned but clean and was very impressed with cleanliness of the changing rooms.
Our room was ok, a bit outdated but had a big flatscreen tv, coffee maker and free WIFI. However the negative points was the bathroom wasn't very clean, some of the tiles were covered in dirt. Also we were put into a corner room on level 7, we were opposite Pershing Square which at night was full of beggars and this didn't make me feel particularly safe. At night it was so noisy, the single glazed windows were useless at sound proofing, the bed might as well have been on the sidewalk...noisy buses, rubbish trucks, all night there was shouting and screaming, really put me off and I didn't want to be out in the dark. We were there on a Sunday and the area was deserted because its a business area, with only a coffee shop and a Subway open. The underground station was just around the corner, we went to Universal City and Hollywood and this was very easy and the underground system was very efficient.
If I went to LA again, I wouldn't stay here and would prefer to be in Hollywood.
