Unfortunate

5.0

The hotel is darling. It is located across the street from the Grove and has a beautiful courtyard for morning coffee.

− Unfortunately, we discovered a large cockroach in our room. I understand these things can happen, and we killed it. However, when we saw another one in the morning, in another location, it was VERY upsetting. This was not a cheap hotel, and having spent over $350 for the room and parking, I do not expect to encounter cockroaches!

Quintessential vintage LA experience.

8.0

It's walking distance to The Grove and Farmer's Market. Ideal if you just want to chill and not deal with LA traffic. Great shops and restaurants. An easy way to spend an afternoon and evening without feeling FOMO.

− Perhaps the only concerns I have about this place are two things — security and coffee. Since the hotel is a modified motel-style facility, there is no security other than the card lock key to the room. Yes there is a safe in the room . That's it. There's no coffee set up in the room. It's available in the lobby at 6:45 am.

Great, well priced hotel close to the Grove

8.0

Great location close to the Grove. Nice foyer area and cool bar for a late night drink. Rooms were comfortable

− Some of the Reception/ staff were not particularly interested in helping guests

Guest review

4.0

Ok

− Bathroom was way too small. Long time to get hot water at sink. Should have additional towels available. Limited counter space in bath for two people. Bare floors appeared cold. No luggage racks—had to ask for them and were told no one ever asked before. Were we meant to kneel on the floor to open our suitcases?

Good location

8.0

The location was excellent, across the road from the Grove and the Original Farmer’s Market and walking distance to a Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and Erehwon. Sidecar doughnuts is also within the same block. Most LA attractions are within 30-45mins drive away.

− The door to our room could not close properly, possibly due to misalignment with the doorframe.

10.0

The location is excellent. It is just couple mins walk to the grove and the original farmer market. a short drive to the museums, sightseeing location. The room is specious and very clean. Staffs are friendly. The area feels quite safe.

− none.
