The room was a multiple bed room. I can not conceive how a hotel like that will put you into a room with total strangers without asking you during reservations. I did not stay because I felt very unsafe to stay. Horrible, horrible and horrible!!!

No communication from the front desk on check out
No communication from the front desk on check out to pay for the valet. My deposit was used against my account without my knowledge until I had to call and figure out what was going on with my deposit at check in. It was almost 22 dollars for a glass of wine. Will never stay here again. Terrible customer service.

Tasteful but Americans don’t know this should work
just got back from 3.5 weeks in Japan where I stayed in shared accommodations. And have done so in Europe too. In those countries there’s a basic code of conduct, a level of decency and respect. And the places feel convivial and safe not confrontational and threatening. Unfortunately two people in my shared room made my stay the latter. This is not the hotels fault or in their control. What the hotel can be faulted for: lockers without any provided locks. 2 Showers for 8 people ok but without anywhere to hang your towel or clothes? Beds without enough sheets or blankets to keep you warm at night. If I’d known these things and been prepared up front they wouldn’t have frustrated. The part they couldn’t control: the guest who came in loudly after midnight and slammed the door and rummaged loudly through what sounded like a number of plastic bags, then gave me a look like he was going to stab me when I nodded in fake welcome. Worse was another guest who decided around 2am to make two phone calls full voice about the weather, haircuts, what he ate that day, and his travel plans. There whet text is for my guy. On the way out he announces loudly “PEACE OUT FREEHAND!” in a bellow. The decor here is awesome. Location fine. Lounge and microwave in basement appreciated. But bear in mind in DTLA this is more halfway house or shelter alternative and set your expectations for the shared rooms for 8 accordingly. They said I’m tempted to go back and try a 4 person.
