Everything was great, would have liked a spare blanket, the window didn’t close properly (not a problem) but it did make it a little drafty.
Great atmosphere at roof top bar.

Nice but loud
The hotel was nice and it was the perfect location for us BUT bring your earplugs because it felt like the street noise (lots of people hanging out by the bar across the street) was directly in the room.

Chic little place
What a cool little place. It balanced chic and the 1940s LA vibe. Spacious room. Great shower. Tons of restaurants within a block or two. Easy half mile walk to the arena. Easy walk to Jewelry District too.
