It was a place to...

Liked: Close to Union Station. Short Uber/Lyft ride to Little Tokyo.
Disliked: The air conditioner didn?t work so the room was too hot to sleep. To cool it off I had to leave the windows open. Naturally that means all the city noise kept me up and the room never got cool enough to get to sleep. Don?t go walking in the area after dark. Way too close to skid row and no clear path to get to restaurants without going into dicey areas. Use Uber or Lyft.

Clean, comfortable, close to everything....and...

Liked: Easy walk from train station...downtown Dash buses take you anywhere downtown....fifty cents.... friendly and helpful staff...with large comfortable room and nice breakfast.....and affordable. Metro Plaza Hotel, the place to stay in downtown LA !

Passable

Disliked: The front desk man wasn?t friendly and rushing the transaction quickly , not caring for my questions about a fee I wasn?t aware of.

Passable

Liked: Free breakfast, just bagels, and muffins but still nice! Cleaning staff was very friendly and helpful with getting more pillows, towels etc. Overall a good place to stay for a cheap price
Disliked: smelled like smoke all through the hallways. Sketchy characters ever now and then walking through the hotel. Not safe for solo travelers.

The hotel was ok, not...

Good

Liked: It was clean
Disliked: The neighborhood

Superb

Liked: We appreciated having reading lights on both sides of the bed. It was good (and unusual) to have real original oil paintings on the walls throughout the third floor. It is close to Philippe and Union Station. The whole hotel has obviously been upgraded since the last time we stayed there four years ago.
Disliked: The hotel fulfilled all our expectations and needs.
