I had a good experience; staff is great
I totally concur with the other reviewer, TravelWriterDB. He got a better rate than I did--mine was a little over $100 per night, some of which was during a busy convention-and-sports-filled weekend. The hotel is indeed about 20 minutes walking to the Staples Center and Convention Center. The neighborhood is filled with various restaurants, mostly fast food, and a 7-Eleven (the only nearby store selling liquor).
What I liked best about this hotel was that it was clean, creatively appointed, comfortable, quiet, just spacious enough (both in the room and the lobby), and with modern appliances and room features: 
*Flatscreen TV, coffee maker with decent coffee, microwave, fridge. 
*Bathroom with new style curved curtain rod and a drain that's not clogged. 
*Comfy beds. Work desk against the wall, and small round table for two.
*Huge sliding door setup going onto wrap-around outside balcony--perfect for accessing and socializing with other guests you befriend on your floor, unless the room to room access creeps you out. In that case, lock your sliding door. Heavy curtain blocks sliding door light pretty well when needed.
My room's carpet was just starting to get that greasy feel, so I hope they steam clean it soon before guests' feet start turning black (mine did not--yay!). The asian staff, mostly young women, were very attentive, efficient, available, knowledgeable, and helpful--I was very pleased with that. By the way, this hotel has just three floors, and free guest parking. In fact, my friend who visited me was able to park for free in the garage with a guest parking permit that you put on your dash. That was cool!
The restaurant they have is called The Spot, but during my stay it was only open for a breakfast buffet until 10:30am, which wasn't bad for $8--typical scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries, hot cakes, breads and fruit to choose from, and drinks included. But here again, plenty of friendly employees are there to get your drink of choice (the coffee was good! What a surprise!), keep tabs on your needs, and bus your dishes at the end. The atmosphere in that restaurant is modern, dark, mellow, and good. It will be nice when they can start serving dinner, too.
Yes, the Wi-Fi sucks big time. I was also on the third floor. Fortunately, I had a Clear air card for my laptop, and that puppy pulled in MAXIMUM reception! I was in heaven with that. It made a big difference.
I, too, had a couple minor repair complaints that were never addressed in MY 5 days, either. One was that the TV's cable line was broken and falling out of the set, the other was a broken bathroom fan, and the third was a slightly leaky bathtub faucet. But these were not huge problems for me, though I get the feeling the staff is slow to fix things at this hotel. 
Another downside is that the hotel has no courtesy shuttle! You have to pre-arrange a taxi, Primetime Shuttle, or Super Shuttle (I got a slightly better deal with Primetime) to go to the airport or somewhere else. Maybe this hotel has found it impractical to have their own shuttle, who knows?
One more minor hassle: the elevator barely holds two people and their luggage. It's smaller than a closet. What were they thinking? Prepare to take the stairs or wait for the elevator a lot. I enjoyed the exercise, myself, until checking out--which was a very quick process. 
I would have given this hotel four stars instead of just three, and maybe I should. It's just that some of the items I moaned about did a little damage in that regard. All in all, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, and will be happy to stay there again. I recommend it for someone on a budget, like me.
