Nice building, too expensive, old rooms.
I stayed here 2 nights. The lobby and lounge of the hotel look really great, beautiful early 20th century. But that's where the fun stops, my room was old and tired. It wasn't dirty but it didn't feel entirely fresh. And at a rate of 300USD a night that is just unacceptable, yes it's downtown LA but still. The rooms aren't the only thing that are overpriced. The breakfast is basic, yet 18 USD, not too mention parking: 40 USD a night, seriously(?). Park across the street on Olive street under the park for 16 USD a night.
I would not stay here again, simply because there are way better alternatives. Also the staff wasn't too great, they did their thing, but a smile or friendliness is hard to find. And as a last point the airco's on the roof outside were very loud and annoying when I wanted to go to sleep, so bring early plugs, which I had with me.
