Let's be honest, this is a very inexpensive solution for an expensive area. The place was VERY convenient for me while I was in LA on business, so I did not have to rent a car and could walk to my destination, saving a lot of additional time and money. But it was also just me, so it's fine that the place is a little basic. I could never stay there with my wife, who has very different needs and standards, but for ME, this was a great place to spend a week. The staff was very friendly, the bed was fine, and the place was very quiet at night so I could sleep. I'll be back.
