The building is old and the rooms are basic, but it's super clean and the staff is very professional. I really love staying here and will probably choose this place over others during my next visit. It's very easy to get to the metro from here. The Indian restaurant on the first floor is pretty good, too.

I like how friendly and helpful staff at Stillwell. However, the only thing I didn't like about the hotel is yesterday, nobody came to clean up my room while I was gone, despite the fact that the door hanger reads "please make up this room". Other than that, I enjoyed my stay overall.

I stayed here after going to downtown LA. Very convenient distance wise but very old place. Needs lots of upgrades. Still has old carpets in room and old paint on walls. Very old and not kept up. Owners need to upgrade. This is a hotel of back in the early 80s. Parking is up at 10 am and it costs $20. You have to get your car out before 10 am. Not a good place if you’re looking to a late check out.

The hotel is within walking distance of Crypt.com arena and many shops near by. However, the building is vintage, the bathroom is rusty and the air condiiton is old and noisy. The bedding looks clean and the carpet was well vacuumed but my sox got dirty to walk on it. Still I stayed here for the second time because of the location and the rate.

Good location

The hotel is in a good location. For those taking the bus, there are bus stops right around the corner from the hotel going to LACC and Crypto arena. Lots of parking spaces too. It is also near some grocery stores and restaurants. All walkable. I didn't have a lot of expectation about the hotel but the room is a decent place to stay.

Staff was helpful. Bed sheets and towels seemed clean. The hand/body soap bar wasn’t so good. Not foamy enough. Happy there was an ac but it was very loud. Bed was firm but comfortable. I Homeless please around the area. I like that there were stores and shops near by. It was close to crypto arena which I liked. Shower Water was warm but stream felt like a power wash very powerful. They have a laundry room but you need to bring your own detergent etc. no vending machine for that. There are vending machines for drinks and snacks.

People are leaving wierd reviews about bed bugs and other wierd things.... none of that occured. The desk managers were amazing and nice. The room was great for what we needed it for. (A shower, a bed,) resturants surround the area along with a cvs and ralphs. You can park in the parking garage which is easier then lot parking. My only complaints are that the beds were super hard. Like sleeping on the floor. The bathroom is tiny so we had trouble moving around in there. The shower was missingvits shower head so we got a rain forest mist lol. Honestly if u are going to a concert or a confrence in the convention center on a low budget this hotel is great for a short stay.

Great place to stay if you're looking for a clean bed to sleep in for the night and if you're not too picky about your hotels. It's an old building but everything is functional - small microwave and mini fridge; A/C works great (kept the room quite cold in the LA summer heat); shower has hot water; sink works; toilet works, all in all, can't complain about the basic amenities. The downtown location and price can't be beat, but if you want a fancier hotel room, this isn't the place for you. I'd definitely stay here again for the price and if I needed to be close to downtown LA.
