Guest sentiment

• Cleanliness7.8

  Generally reported as very clean in several reviews, but a serious negative (multiple guests reporting cockroaches) lowers overall cleanliness sentiment.

• Service9.5

  Many comments praise welcoming, friendly staff and a helpful valet; however a few reports note indifferent reception staff and poor communication around billing—overall service is strong but inconsistent.

• Location9.9

  Consistently praised: right across from The Grove and Farmer's Market, walking distance to shops, restaurants and easy access to LA attractions.

• Room Quality8.1

  Rooms described as clean and comfortable and some spacious, but complaints include small bathrooms, limited counter space, cold bare floors, no luggage racks and at least one misaligned door.

• Amenities8.0

  Nice courtyard, cool foyer/bar and valet service noted; lacks in-room coffee and had limited in-room conveniences (e.g., luggage racks), giving a mixed amenities impression.

• Value for Money8.0

  Several guests find it good value or well priced for a short stay, but others were upset about high nightly rates, unexpected charges and a perceived lack of refund/price adjustment handling.

• Food and Beverage8.4

  On-site bar and lobby coffee available (but limited timing); excellent nearby dining (Farmer’s Market, Du Pars) supports positive F&B sentiment despite limited in-room offerings.

• Overall Experience9.9

  Many guests enjoyed the quintessential vintage LA vibe, location and friendly elements (courtyard, valet), making overall stays positive despite isolated cleanliness and communication issues.

Номер был на втором этаже и расположен над открытой зоной ресторана. Все было не плохо,пока в вечер и ночь с пятницу на субботу там устроили свадьбу. Ощущение 100% присутствия,так как свадьба проходила ровно под нашим окном до 12 ночи. Было очень шумно. Это было ужасно,так как мы прилетели издалека с разницей в часовом поясе в 10 часов и в восемь вечера легли спать. Думаю стоит предупреждать о таких мероприятиях в отеле,оказывается они там очень часто проводятся.

We love this hotel and have stayed here a couple times when in LA. The location can’t be beat and the rooms are so nice with lots of amenities. We especially like the garden patio and the adjacent bar/restaurant. Had an excellent, relaxing meal sitting on the patio under a tree.

It's my second time staying at this place so clearly i was impressed, rooms are clean, spacious, looking great, the location is really good to move around in LA.
