Trying to cut back on business expenses, I decided to try out one of their pod rooms. There are four beds for up to four women. Kind of like staying in a hostel. Now they do have regular rooms that are private as well! However, this time like I said to cut back on cost, I tried a room share. I have to say that it wasn’t that bad. The ladies in my room were very respectful. The room was very clean and very quiet. You have a locker area with a clean towel in there for you. They don’t provide locks though. The common area is very cool with a nice vibe. I just wish that the bar was open. There is a bar and it’s stocked but it was closed. I’m not sure why. Also, they have a pool bar and restaurant on the top floor. It looks really cool, but because it was raining they had it closed. So all in all, it was a good experience for a grown woman who is on a business trip! The only criticism I have is that the bunkbeds are a little wobbly and they are made out of wood, which is great, but the wood is very creaky, so it’s kind of loud and wobbly. But other than that, it was great. If they fix those beds, to be more sturdy and quieter, I might make this a regular stop!

Loved the rooftop bar. The fact that we were able to walk around and take a stroll and even buy a food truck meal. The hotel was affordable and close to everything we had planned for a weekend in LA. Recommended for sure.

Great location and really cool property. The roof top pool was amazing! If you're looking for a little more privacy I would suggest getting the quad room.
