Lidia

Was not bad but been to hostels that were much better. Mattress not that comfy, pillow flat, no top sheet. Stayed there because was taking a train in Union Station which is close. So location is great with many food choices to be had along with supermarket, pharmacies and shops. However would not stay there again.

The corner suite King was really spacious and clean. The pool area was really nice with a live DJ and yummy drinks and snacks. The only issue I had was part of the lobby area and access to the restaurant was closed for filming and we werent able to figure out how to get to the coffee shop or restaurant.

Dope hotel. Cool views. Lots of things around. But it’s DTLA, so it’s noisy and smells like pee every 30 feet or so. If you’re staying DTLA, it’s a good spot.
