Very old facility. The stay was OK. Keep in mind no pkg at hotel. Paid pkg areas on either side but was told not safe to leave anything in car. Stayed 3 nights. Only one day no hot water. No notifications but when I mentioned they said it had to do with city. The people that work there are very nice. If it was just me (female) I would not stay here alone. It is a good location. Beds were twin and again just older facilities.

Staff were excellent, very friendly. Building is just super old and in desperate need of an overhaul. Showerhead was so low i had to bend down in awkward ways to get clean. They have the hardest beds and pillows ive ever experienced. The carpets didnt seem like theyve had a proper cleaning in some time. All in all, its a serviceable place to sleep, as long as you are not picky about your bedding, and a short walk to the Convention Center and many places to eat.

It was alright. Likely would not stay there again. Parking is public and the homeless in there area have drastically increased over the years. I for one has my car broken into. So I’d advise picking a place that has in person surveillance or a place with a garage. The cameras there was not enough.

Room was very clean. The Staff is excellent. The Hotel is light on Amenities, and the restaurant only has lunch & dinner hrs. If you want coffee there is a local coffee shop a couple doors up & a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts within walking distance. There are restaurants also within walking distance. If you want a basic, clean hotel in Downtown LA, the Stillwell is a good choice. It is definitely the most affordable hotel in the area. I would stay there again.

Stayed at this hotel, I liked that it’s super close to the Crypto arena, and lots of food nearby, grocery store etc. the staff was friendly. The room was as advertised. Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary but it had what I needed and for the price you won’t find anything cheaper that close. Very vintage building so that was cool.
