I am going to keep this short and simple. Seriously people this is one of the many old, dirty, and cochroach infested hotels in Los Angeles. I had to stay here for the only reason it was cheap and close to the convention center. But next time I am willing to pay a little more for peace of mind. This... more

We picked the hotel because it was cheap for the area, free parking and you could walk from the Orpheum. It's probably a good thing I was not sober checking in after the first nights show. Check in was easy, elevator dirty, got too our room and no air on. Turned on the wall unit and it did cool down.... more

Its not a place for someone who is a clean freak. my cousin and I stayed there last night and we didnt bring any bugs back with us(we did bring our own sheets though) . new locks on the doors and it looked like new carpet in our room. the towels were kinda jacked up so we got new ones.... more

Its been almost a year and I still have nightmares about this place. It was dirty. even the front lobby was disgustingly dirty. We stayed on the tenth floor. I thought the elevator was going to fall the whole ride up. It was a small, crowded, rickety junk bucket elevator. Then we get to the room - the locks hardly... more

Do not expect luxury, but this hotel is perfectly acceptable and convenient. Modest rooms with older furniture and baths, but they are kept clean. You can’t beat this for downtown LA on a budget. There are 2 restaurants in the hotel and a convenient coffee shop on the same block just north of the hotel. more

This hotel was horrible. I stayed in the hotel during NBA All Star Weekend in Feb. 2004. All the other hotels were either overbooked or completely over priced. I should have knew something was horribly wrong with the Stillwell Hotel when they only charged 55.00 each night. The hotel stunk the entire time. I had to hold my breath walking... more

Really not too bad but far from a Hyatt. Excellent location. Close to transportation. Downtown location a plus. The Indian resturant is good and the bar has cold beer. I was here two nights and plan to stay at the Stillwell in Feb. 2006. Very close to Union Station if you travel Amtrak. more

I saw the pictures on the internet and when I got there, it was disappointing. The hotel is really old, dirty and smells badly (like rotten food). My first thought was moving to another hotel, but I decided to give it a chance and asked the lady in the reception to show me a bedroom. In a rude way, she... more

The Lonely Planet rates this place at the top of the list. The reviews here are at best mixed so i was unsure about this place. I found that the room and the washroom was clean and adequate for my purposes. I got some noise from the street (i was on the 8th floor) but that didn't really bother me.... more

I was deceived by the pictures and description on a website. I got in late at night and found the place rundown and a bit frightening. My room had very old furniture (TV turn dial) and the room seemed less than clean. The only lock on the door was the doorknob push button. The shower head was broken in the... more
