We love historic hotels, but that can be a roll of the dice. This one is serviceable and clean, but it is tired. From outside the entrance canopy is damaged and the lighted sign at the top of the building is half burned out. There is no overnight attendant at the front desk although the security guard eventually can let you in. The front door has no way to call in, although it apparently can ring a doorbell. There is no room key access through the front door after hours. Despite this and the very basic room, this is an affordable and functional place to stay located walking distance from a lot of DTLA, and it is clean. We were looking for a bit more pampering for this trip, and the desk manager graciously let us cut our stay short and refunded us the difference with Hotels.com help, for which we were grateful. If I were traveling on my own and just needed a basic place to sleep, I would consider this as one option. I would love to see an investor put something into this one.
