When I got this hotel via Priceline in December 2005, people in the Los Angeles forums were a bit disappointed because they said that staying downtown (business/financial district) was going to ruin the trip, it being a 15-20 minutes' drive from most places that are interesting for tourists in Los Angeles, and that it was going to make me hate Los Angeles. However, I didn't find this to be the case at all.
This is the largest hotel in Los Angeles, consisting of five, tall, glass 'cylinders'. Inside, there are several floors of nothing but restaurants and shops. We ate at a couple of these restaurants, a cheaper and a mid-range one, and we found both to be quite nice. In one of them, there was in fact live music offered by a couple people -- with guests also coming up to sing some songs -- all of which was very relaxing and nice to have along with our good food!
The room itself, as well as the bathroom, was spacious, and the bed was huge. It was a pretty modern hotel with a modern, comfortable room to match. The ammenities in the bathroom were many -- and good -- as well. The tub was relaxing. Being downtown, the view wasn't too incredible, but you could see the other big downtown buildings and nearby area, so it was pretty good. We slept very well.
Since we came with a car, we were easily able to drive to places, and the drives didn't take very long as well. It was quite fun getting to drive to places with the car and see a bit more of Los Angeles every time. I didn't find this to be a bother or problem at all. We quickly arrived at all the places we wanted to see and got to see a lot in Los Angeles. We, in fact, barely faced any traffic jams on freeways at all -- even during rush hour -- something which I was expecting to have happen all the time. It was particularly surprising since we went during a high tourist time.
As I mentioned, we got this place with Priceline, meaning that it was cheap too -- a four-star hotel for probably the price of a two-star in the Los Angeles area.
Highly recommended!
Parking overnight at the hotel costs $25/night -- which is a lot cheaper than in other public garages, like the one across the street from the hotel.
Since it has so much inside, many call this hotel a "city within a city" -- which I can see why!
