What guests think

At Level Los Angeles - Downtown South Olive, guests praise the spacious apartment-style suites with full kitchens, balconies, and city views, plus popular outdoor amenities like the pool, hot tub, basketball court, and a well-equipped gym.

Reviews highlight inconsistent cleanliness and housekeeping, with recurring reports of stained furniture, hair, odors of smoke/weed, and occasional pests. Service is mixed — many friendly interactions and some upgrades — but guests also cite slow responses, check-in delays, elevator waits, and costly or confusing parking, alongside recurring maintenance issues like weak hot water and faulty AC or TVs. The downtown location is walkable to Crypto.com Arena, the convention center, and restaurants, yet several guests found the surrounding area noisy and gritty at night. Expect spacious apartments and amenities, but limited hotel-style service.

The hotel was very nice, room spacious and clean, nice kitchenware, good beds, good parking options, very nice pool and outdoor hang around area. The place has also outdoors movie theatre. The only downside was that they didn’t have extra blankets, which was quite a surprise.

Downtown Los Ángeles in general is not safe and it’s very dirty. But the hotel is good clean. It took the staff about an hour to check me in. Parking is very expensive. 50 for self parking and 65 for valet parking per day.

It's the amenities for me... Amenities second to none. Pool, Jacuzzi, foosball table, table tennis, and several luxurious lounge areas throughout the property. And all the materials needed are right there ie. Ping pong paddles and balls, basketballs, etc Really large 2 bedroom rooms with floor to ceiling windows revealing a nice view of downtown LA. Area is extremely walkable with many eats nearby and a whole foods one block away. Perfect downtown stay for families.

Out of the 4 elevators only 2 were working and it took over 20 minutes to get to room !… to make things worse cleaning personnel would take half the room with their cleaning cart…. Not their fault but very bad management.

In room the bathroom partition door would not close as it was off the track, staff forced it closed for the remainder of my stay, shortly before 2am the smoke detector went off intermittently unable to reach the desk with the room phone I went downstairs, I was advised to remove the smoke detector myself, I also noticed what appeared to be black mold growing on the shower soap dispenser along with visible water damage to the bathroom vanity. I made sure to speak with someone at the deck at checkout and follow up via email. Nobody has reached out. This is really unfortunate as my prior visits had been quite pleasant

ROACH INFESTATION – 01/24/2025 I walked into a roach-infested room—Corner Suite King 1 Bed, Room 1204—shortly after checking in around 10 PM on January 24, 2025. I took videos and immediately grabbed my belongings to head to the front desk. I then emailed guest services with footage of live roaches crawling in the entrance walkway, kitchen, dining area, and restroom. I didn’t even make it to the bedroom to see what was in there—it was disgusting! They assigned me a new room. I was hesitant to stay because… what?? However, I was tired, just wanted to relax, and it was too late at night to book somewhere else. Thankfully, the newly assigned room was roach-free. Still, I was flinching around every corner, expecting to see a roach pop out at any moment. My anxiety was through the roof, and I did not enjoy my stay. The next day at check-out, I asked the front desk what could be done to rectify the issue. As a result, they comped my parking—not good enough, in my opinion. Additionally, the hotel has only two working elevators, which take forever—literally several minutes before arriving at your floor. Some of the general areas also have a strong musty odor. Although I’ve always loved the suites here and how spacious they are for a quick stay, I’d rather have proper sanitation. So, I won’t be back. Comped parking for roaches in a room is a joke—never again! (The actual videos can be viewed on my yelp review under AC C.)

This was a wonderful hotel to stay at over the weekend! Nearby is a wonderful Brazilian restaurant I went to every day, Bossa Nova, and in the opposite direction was a lovely donut/ice cream/hot dog shop I went to on the last day. I paid a bit more than I usually would so I could get a corner suite, and it was beautiful! I imagined living my entire life there lol. Everything was extremely comfortable. I did notice some scratches on some doors and a missing lightbulb in a lamp, but nothing that truly impeded my stay. The staff were very accommodating, even when they missed a wakeup call I requested the night before and hence I missed my bus back home, they did everything in their capabilities to cater to my needs after purchasing another bus ticket, such as allowing me to securely store my bags in the locked lobby closet, allowing me to access the closet throughout the day after my time in the room was up, and providing me with a card to access the floor of amenities for the hotel until it was time for my departure. Missing my bus due to a staff member failing to note down my wakeup call request cost me roughly $100 and a day of work, but I was refunded one day's fees worth almost $40, and the staff did their best to accommodate me. I also had an unexpectedly great day wandering around the city after having a packed schedule through the weekend, so for that I am thankful. Downtown LA is truly wonderful and this is the best hotel in the area.

They wouldn’t move me to another room the first night and the second day, the only room they had was a smaller room and the guy showed me to it and it reeked of cigarette smoke. Overpriced for what it is IMO.

I wish I could give this hotel five stars. It’s a great hotel in a great location with very nice staff. I would definitely stay here again. Modern, well-designed and spacious. Good elevator service, great pool and hot tub. Great area, safe, easily accessible. Comfortable beds and pillows. TVs didn’t work properly. We had 3 TVs with two working remotes. Two TVs worked properly (cable channels), the third did not. None of the TVs would connect to Netflix or other streaming. Hotel staff said it was because DISH had to update their equipment to work with the WiFi. Not a huge deal personally but could be for someone staying longer term. The shower was not great. Both bathrooms had hand-held showers which you could not position above you facing down like a normal shower. Water temperature was hard to regulate. The drain in the second bathroom did not drain. The floors. This was the biggest disappointment. The floors were filthy. You wouldn’t know looking at them, but after ruining multiple pairs of white socks, it was evident. They just were not clean. My bare feet had to be scrubbed clean to wear sandals. I’m including a picture of brand new white socks I put on after a shower, taken shortly after putting them on. It was surprisingly dirty. With a few housekeeping improvements, this hotel could be wonderful. I would stay here again.

Our Check-in was an absolute mess. The buildings internet was out of service during our check-in. The staff was very nice but they had no back up plan for this scenario. They couldn’t check us in without internet service. After a 6 hour drive we were in the lobby waiting for nearly 2 hours before they finally decided to give us a room. A decision that should’ve happened about an hour and a half sooner. The room was clean and very nice. We had a friend use the pull out mattress from the sofa but it came with no sheets, pillow or blanket. We called room service to request these things and they ran out of blankets which is fair but we requested pillows and a bed sheet and it never came. Also, there wasn’t any hand soap or body wash in the bathrooms. We called room service to request these and they never came. We had to call again to get it.

We've been here a few time already and it has been our home away from home when we want to stay out in Los Angeles. We love all the amenities and convenient short walk to the grocery store and walk able to restaurants and attractions. Our suite however had minor details that isn't a big deal but I noticed. The bathroom drawer did slide out of it"s railing and I thought it was going to fall, the microwave door got stuck, there was no coffee for the coffee maker, but I called and it was brought up quickly, 3 forks, no cutting board and no bigger pan to cook on. Maybe the kitchen should also be equipped with scissors and a can opener? Again no big deal. We will always choose this location to stay but that was just minor details I noticed.

Property was clean and spacious. Very, very nice and in the heart of the city. The only dislike is that it costs $50 a day to self park in the garage at hotel IF you’re not paying $65 for valet. The parking area across the street is only $20 but they make it seem as though you’re going to come out to your car with the windows busted out and no tires.

The stay was decent overall, with some great features but also a few frustrating parts. The location is really good,close to everything,and the room itself was spacious, clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The outdoor amenities are definitely a highlight. There’s a great pool, a nice sitting area, BBQ facilities, and even a basketball court, which is a nice bonus for families or groups. On the downside, there’s no food or room service, and getting basic things like towels was a hassle,we had to wait a couple of days or find the maid ourselves. The front desk wasn’t very helpful, and the service overall felt lacking. It feels more like staying in an independent apartment building than a traditional hotel. If you’re mainly looking for space and outdoor amenities, it’s a good choice. Just don’t expect full hotel-style service.
