"The Leef was a great stay. I grew up in this area, and this used to be one of the ghettoist hotels in the area; it was a druggy hotel in super rundown condition, so when searching for somewhere to stay while visiting I was pleasantly surprised to see this location refreshed into something new. It looks like officially taking reservations for fully operational property as of Feb. 2026. So needless to say everything was new, updated and well maintained. The property has 16 guest rooms and a private parking lot, the lobby is very small and they use a kiosk for check in, this is a popular option for hotels who don't have 24/7 front desk - however this is the first hotel I have seen kiosk only. The process was very simple; there is a GSA on the kiosk and they walk you through everything, and you sign on the screen. Parking costs $10/night. There is a small outdoor seating area with small fountains that were really nice to just sit and enjoy the nice evening weather. We had a room near the front, there was parking right near our room. Each room is equipped with a keypad locking system, which is active at check in until check out. When checking out you just notify the kiosk that you are checking out of your room and they will deactivate your room lock and send your folio via email. They have onsite housekeeping; they service the rooms every 2 days unless you ask, we were able to exchange towels while they were servicing other rooms and that is all we needed. The rooms are beautifu"

"Everything was awesome "

"The room was clean. The staff was helpful. This was the first time staying in a room on the street side it was quite loud from road noise."

"Spotless room, courteous staff"

"This is a "basic" hotel with large rooms, but without any unneeded frills. A great value for those of us simply want a "sleeping" room. I came to LA to "see the sights" -- not spend time in my room. A great shower, nice bed, lots of outlets for laptops, et.al. Who needs more? Most important, the staff was extremely helpful. When I said I needed a microwave in my room so I could prepare warm compresses for my eyes, Adul (the night clerk) had a microwave in my room within five minutes. Freehand is my choice to stay at everytime I'm in LA"
