You’re never too old for pool floaties.

Highs & Lows
-
The service was top notch! Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff turned a budget friendly stay into a memorable boutique experience.
-
Between the hip coffee shop, adorable boutique store, rooftop pool bar with unique cocktails and eats, tea and coffee infused cocktails in the lobby bar, and an incredibly delicious Israeli fusion restaurant by chef Alex Chang, it’s hard to find a reason to leave the property. It truly is an oasis in the middle of DTLA.
-
The guest rooms are incredibly comfortable. Spacious with cozy design touches, a great selection of reading material, Bluetooth speaker to play your favorite tunes, and killer room service.
-
They are dog friendly! And with a one-time fee of $50 for your entire stay, you don’t have to leave your furry friend at home!
-
Though the woodsy interiors, artistic décor, and lush plant vibes may have you believing you’re in some remote exotic location, you might experience a rude awakening (literally) when it comes to the bustling street noise at night. If you’re a light sleeper, like me, I recommend requesting a higher floor room and perhaps bringing some earplugs.
-
If you’re planning to park your car overnight, keep in mind that your overall cost for your stay will now be increased by $44 a night for valet parking. Not great for your wallet but you are in Downtown LA after all.
