A Great Value in a Great Location
I really like this property. It is a great value when staying in downtown LA. I paid $215 on a Wednesday night that included a very nice hot buffet breakfast. The staff was very courteous. I was upgraded to a small suite which appeared to be newly decorated. There a very nice, out-door roof top lounge area on the 12th floor for cigar smokers like me. There is no service on the roof top, but you can bring up your cocktail from the 3rd floor bar. The restaurant is pricey but there is a bar menu that has snacks and sandwiches. Parking is only $12.00 a night and includes in and out privileges. There is no valet. The work out facilities are 1st class. The hotel walking distance to Pershing Square, the Jewelry Mart and many downtown attractions. There a number of new restaurants, including Bottega Louie, located 1 block west on 7th street. 
My only criticism is that there was no coffee machine in the room and the breakfast service doesn't begin until 7am. So you need to go to the 7-11 across the street or the SBucks a few blocks away to get a quick, early morning cup of coffee. This is a 125 year old private athletic club that rents out three floors of hotel rooms. There is a lot of dark wood and the hotel hallways are decorated old B&W portraits of the club's athletes.
