I love this hotel
I've stayed at the Custom Hotel several times when visiting LA. It's the best value I've found. It's conveniently located, has nice rooms, a pool, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The only downside is the $20/day valet parking with no other parking options.

The Custom
Girls weekend. We wanted to be closer to the beach towns. Turns out a cab was only $15 to Abbot Kinney in Venice beach so that was good. Nice clean modern and for $85 a night you can't beat it. Nice colored neon lights that change are awesome but the rest of the lighting was terrible...too dark! Otherwise nice decor and clean. We wished there was a hot tub but didn't make it over to the pool.

Good value
I booked this room through a special value, and I believe I got a good deal. Clean rooms, great staff. Was able to take a cab to local areas like Santa Monica and LAX with ease.

Great product, poor people !
I love this place because it helps me keep visitors close to home and its a straight shot between LAX and home. But the personell service wasnt great this time. They always had a tone like I owed them something. I have personally stayed here and dont remember it being like that. I also wanted to send a SHOUT-OUT to the mangers, there should be more "little things" for customer. How do you guys NOT HAVE a map of L.A ? Or tourist guides ? Or anything that is helpful for that matter. This is still a great value for the $$ but please dont slip into comformity.

We love it at first sight! Really contemporary. We felt really comfortable. A unique style. We just found there was no self-parking close to the hotel.

I stayed in the hotel for 6 days they only changed pillow sheets not the bed sheets the a/c worked HALF the time the rooms are not "sound" proof like said. But the staff was friendly an amazing the pool was always closed due to "Private events" The only good part of the hotel was it was close to the airport and 3 miles from Vencie Beach and Santa Monica

Interesting
This was quite the interesting hotel. We arrived at 11pm on a Friday night (via the free airport shuttle which was quite a plus of this hotel) and was immediately confused as to where the hotel entrance was. Part of the first floor is a club which shared the entrance of the hotel. Being a young adult this was ok but a family would have been quite taken aback. The lobby was normal with a delicious (expensive) breakfast in the morning. There are three small elevators and I would not suggest leaning against the walls in them (filthy). The "pool" was more like a large jacuzzi. The outdoor cabanas were nice along with many sun soaking chairs. The hallways are dark and remind me of a hostel (we tried three floors before finding a working ice machine leading me to classify all hallways as dark). However, once inside the hotel room itself there were no complaints. The walls are covered with curtains and the beds are barely off of the floor but besides that very normal. There is also a "light effect" on the windows in every room but there is an off button so no worries. There are large public parties held often which cuts off portions of the hotel to 21+ including the pool area. One plus is the hotel is pet friendly. I wouldn't call the location good or bad. Minimal dining locations around. There is a grocery store right outside. A very nice bowling alley in the hotel parking lot was a lot of fun! Every single staff member was excellent. Another guest I met called the hotel "Progressive" which I think fits well. Definitely only for adults from 21 to 40?
