The Spotlight on American Hotel

Stay in the Heart of the Arts District

Modern, minimalist, and located in one of LA’s most creative neighborhoods, American Hotel offers a no-frills, budget-friendly stay just minutes from some of the city's biggest music venues. Nestled in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District, this hotel puts you close to the action while keeping things simple and affordable. With free WiFi, concierge service, and air-conditioned rooms featuring flat-screen TVs, it's a smart base for music lovers on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a show at L.A. Live, Microsoft Theater, or the STAPLES Center, you’ll appreciate that all are just a short drive or ride away—about 13 minutes. The Arts District location means you’re close to venues but away from the heavier crowds, offering a more relaxed vibe post-show. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM and checkout is at 11:00 AM, the friendly staff and available concierge service help make arrival and departure smooth, even on a show night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable crash pad near the music scene
  • Solo travelers chasing bucket-list performances
  • Couples wanting an artsy weekend escape with great shows nearby
  • Fans who prefer a quieter, creative neighborhood to unwind after a concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want clean, comfortable basics without breaking the bank

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the Arts District is packed with trendy eateries, coffee shops, and late-night bites just steps from the hotel. Whether you're grabbing a post-show snack or a lazy late breakfast, you won’t go hungry. Room service and breakfast aren’t available here, so plan to explore the local food scene—it’s worth it.

Nightlife Options

You’re in a prime spot for LA nightlife. From local breweries and rooftop bars to cozy wine lounges, the area buzzes with energy after dark. While the hotel itself is quiet, you're never far from somewhere to toast the night away, often with live music or a DJ spinning nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms, friendly staff, and the hotel’s fantastic location in one of LA’s most walkable and artsy neighborhoods. Many reviews highlight the value for the price, especially for travelers focused on concerts and city events. The vibe is relaxed and low-key, offering a welcome break from downtown bustle.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms feature shared bathrooms, which might not suit everyone, particularly after a late night. There’s also no elevator, so be prepared for stairs if you're on an upper floor. Still, most guests find these trade-offs more than acceptable given the location and price.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss stay close to LA’s top concert venues, American Hotel delivers comfort, location, and artistic character without the hefty price tag.

Convenient Location near LA little...

Liked: Location is convenient; near Little Tokyo. Little Tokyo/Arts District Metro/subway station is 7 minute-walk from the hotel. City Hall is within walkable distance.
Disliked: I can sense a mild odour in my room; which is minor and bearable.

Raffaele Fri, 15 August 2025

Very smelly building/room, hard mattress

Liked: Location, even if sketchy at times, it is very close to restaurants, sushi and only 5 minutes from the Little Tokyo Market Place
Disliked: The major issue is that this whole building and also the rooms have an awful smell, I don't know what it is, but it's like ammonia, I want to think ammonia and not pee. It smelled so bad that it stank up my clothes and objects. AC was very noisy. The bed and pillows seemed new but were too hard and for that reason uncomfortable. In conclusion, I slept poorly

Louise's stay in Los Angeles.

Liked: The staff were helpful and helped me to order an Uber if I needed one. Vanessa was able to give me directions to Universal Studios and The Aquarium at Long Beach. The Metro was just around the corner and she told me what line to take and where to change stops.The Hotel is close to a Mall, and opposite bars and cafes.All in all I found my 7 days stay busy and interesting, with Ian and the rest of the staff friendly and willing to help.
Disliked: I found the air conditioning machine a little loud in my room.
