May 2012 We arrived in at Union Station by bus from Vancouver. No wonder our taxi driver was peeved ! Although it is "just around the corner " We (not so young) would have had trouble pulling the luggage we had brought from our Alaska cruise up the incline to the hotel. Reception was friendly and efficient, our room was... More

For such an affordable price, this hotel is the way to go. To start with, they are located near the downtown of L.A, adjacent to Chinatown. With that said, it is difficult to be hungry as there are lots of good food in downtown and Chinatown. The rooms are spacious, and we had the double Queen bed. The bathroom is... More

Stayed here for a night before catching the Amtrak up to San Fran. My room was spacious and clean. No frills but provided everything I needed. The staff were friendly and efficient. The area is a bit dull but is perfect in terms of proximity to Union station. It is literally across the road. A few nice restaurants in the... More

I was confident in staying here based on previous recommendations and I am here to say that my experience was great. The location is perfect in many ways. It is within walking distance of the Los Angeles Union Station. It is across the street... More

The hotel is old but very well-maintained, quiet and clean. The room was huge and comfortable. The bathroom seemed original and had a very large... More

We stayed here 2 nights. I would stay here again, you get what you pay for. Rooms were clean, breakfast was adequate, staff were fine, location was a walk away from Union Station. The WIFI however was not good, we stayed in several budget us hotels during our holiday, this was the only hotel with very SLOW pretty useless internet... More
