Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Located about 300m from the main exit of Union Station, it is convenient for trains and metro. There is a large street in front of the hotel, but there is little traffic. The hotel itself feels quite old, but the room I stayed in was spacious and seemed to have been renovated, so it was clean. The shower room only had a rain shower (from the ceiling), and it was inconvenient that there was no hand shower or shelf. There was no shampoo provided on the first night, so I bought my own when I went out. There was soap. Coffee was provided in the lobby, and there was a water cooler, hot water heater, and ice machine on each floor. There was a Mexican restaurant next to the hotel, but I didn't use it. There was also a small general store. Apparently they used to serve continental breakfast, but it is no longer there.

2.5 out of 5 really. This is an independent hotel, but the chain equivalent would be Econo Lodge or Super 8. If you do not enjoy staying in those types of places then you will not enjoy staying here. Furniture is all well-worn, beds are stiff, and there are no amenities. On the positive side, the room was clean enough, and this is pretty much the only hotel choice within walking distance to Union Station if that's important to you. It was to me as I had an early train to catch, so that's why I stayed here. This might also be a good hotel choice for budget travelers getting around Los Angeles without a car, as a lot of bus and subway routes converge on this area.

If train travel does not factor into your Los Angeles travel plans, then I definitely do not recommend staying here as there are other much better options. Aside from the hotel itself, the immediate area is not all that great. Lots of homeless people all over the place, who are mostly harmless, but it still always puts me on edge a little, especially at night. Also, there's an empty and rather depressing Chinatown area nearby. My choice for food and drink would be the Mexican themed Olvera Street, which is also nearby.

This is a good hotel for the price, at A$214 or US$145 per night for a twin room. The hotel is a little "tired' and the carpets are overdue for replacement but its clean the staff are friendly and helpful. We stayed here for 2 nights. It was within 10 minutes walk to the LA Union Station (a tourist attraction in it's self). It is convenient for catching the metro (to other parts of the city) and airport bus. Also the buses to San Diego and Las Vegas depart from here. The room was quite large with table and chairs and a refrigerator. There is a small café, which serves good food, and supermarket under the hotel. It is also a close to the Olvera Street Mexican Markets; wonderful shopping.

We used it when we used Dodger Stadium, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Hollywood sightseeing.
I think it's very good considering the price and the quality of the hotel.
(Good point)
○ We arrived at the Los Angeles airport in the early hours of the morning, so we checked in early if possible, and were going to leave only our luggage if there was a charge, but the lady at reception was willing to show us around the room for free from 11am, which helped me a lot with my long flight fatigue.
○ As you have written by word of mouth, it is about 5 minutes walk from the station, which is very convenient for sightseeing by subway (traveling by subway was not well received for dangerous people and dirty, but it was OK for multiple people). Dodger Stadium can be reached in about 10 minutes by Uber, and at night, after 22:00, if you take the station side of the street to get back to your hotel, it's not a problem because there are no vagrants (there are multiple vagrants on the other side of the road).
○ There was free coffee in front of the lobby on the first floor and I enjoyed it.
○There was an ice machine and water dispenser (both hot and cold water) on each floor, and I ate cup ramen and put ice in a water bottle and used it many times (the installation situation was very useful as shown in the picture).
(It wasn't good.)
• For Ameriity, you should bring shampoo, conditioner, tooth brushing and body washing equipment, although only shampoo and soap and as per hotel instructions.
○ The facility was old and the walls of the bath were almost torn off.

I only booked this place as it was near Union Station and I had an early train the next day. I didn't expect much for the price, but the reality was far worse than I imagined.
Getting into the hotel was a challenge in itself as the automatic door was stuck and I had to stand there for 5 minutes until someone let me in.
Check in was fine, the staff member was friendly enough. The lobby isn't particularly welcoming. Just a desk with lots of signs up- you can tell a lot about a place by the amount of poorly worded laminated signs dotted around!
My room was on the 4th floor and the corridors leading from the elevators were very tired and in dire need of an update.
My room echoed these sentiments. Dark patterned carpets which had years worth of marks on them, the bed was extremely hard and had a dark flowery quilt that even my grandparents would have thrown out several decades ago. There was little natural light, few plug sockets and to get to those I had to move the bedside tables revealing an awful lot of dust.
The only decent bits of the room were the ensuites and the WiFi.
There's mention of breakfast on booking, but it didn't appear to exist and there was another of those laminated signs covering the one which detailed the breakfast times.
The hotel is in a good location for the station, Olvera Street and Philippe's, however the surrounding area is rather sketchy and didn't feel safe at night.
It probably goes without saying, I wouldn't return and would much rather stay a bit further away and grab an uber to the station if I ever need to catch a train from LA again and I'd recommend you do the same!

Just checked out of the hotel and the staff are perfect they watched are bags all day and not like other places did not charge us. We arrived late on Tuesday night and the main manager was in reception to welcome us and even gave us a bottle of water each as we looked hot. The room was just redecorated and was perfect and very clean. You can see some areas of this hotel are being re done it did not affect us at all. Felt safe and the cleaning lady’s in every day to change towels and make bed. I would 100% recommend staying at this hotel it is 3 min walk from the station and that means excellent transport links to all the places you want to visit. Also most of the public transport is free.
Thank you from John and Mary for a great stay.

My husband and I stayed here after arriving to the Amtrak station nearby late at night. I was a little apprehensive due to the so-so reviews but decided that for one night how bad could it be? Absolutely horrible! Where do I begin? We checked in at 10 pm and were given the key to our room. Upon arriving to our room, we discovered that the room had not been cleaned - not even touched! The beds were unmade. Dirty towels were thrown on the floor. Pizza boxes were on the dresser. We immediately went downstairs and asked for another room. The second room was at least cleaned but the carpets were filthy with stains all over them. I didn't take my shoes off until I was ready to climb into bed. So at 2 am we were awakened to our smoke alarm going off (probably due to a low battery). We climbed up on our beds and disconnected the smoke alarm and it continued to beep. We called the front desk. They sent a maintenance man up to our room. He did the same thing and it continued to beep. Finally, he pulled it loose from the ceiling and left it dangling above our beds. It took me until 3:30 to fall back to sleep. We complained the next morning and asked for at least a partial refund but the man at the front desk said because we booked through a third party site there wasn't anything that he could do. And of course no breakfast was offered even though their website said they had one. It has been almost two years since covid has been around and I feel that is plenty of time to update your website if you are no longer serving breakfast. Take my advise and do not stay here!

HOTEL HELL. Hotel is undergoing renovations (long overdue as looks shabby). Construction noises. Dust. Fumes. Creaky floorboards. Tremors. Hotel security is non-existent. At check-in, homeless guy asked me to buy him dinner + creepy old male hotel guest told me his room number so I could visit his hotel room. Ignored both requests. Ended up at another (nice) hotel (Best Western Dragon Gate on Hill St).

I stayed here for 1 night because it's 5mins walk away from Union Station. Rooms are OK, but it smells like weed. I am hesitant to touch surfaces as it could contains drug residue which could contaminate my bags and it could cause me delays at TSA. It was raining all day when i stayed here and had no choice but to run under the rain to the nearest Chinese resto for dinner. A bit noisy even my room is on the higher floor due to traffic at the corner and some homeless on the street are talking loud. Staff are friendly.
