The service was a mix of experiences. Some staff members were friendly, and I appreciated the night crew. However, there were instances of rudeness and inconsideration, which impacted my stay. It also took them 4 days to return my phone call.

The hotel's location was very convenient for the graduation we attended at USC. It put me within minutes of great areas in LA, even though it's more out of the middle of town. Being in Koreatown with a parking garage underneath and 48 rooms made it convenient for exploring the city.
Dining

The dining options were limited to pre-packaged items like muffins, breakfast bars, and coffee. While breakfast and wine were included, I agree that having more diverse and freshly prepared options would have enhanced the experience.

The hotel is in a prime spot in Koreatown, LA, with a convenient location and large rooms. The rooms are spacious, clean, and offer great amenities like WiFi and flat screen TVs with cable. The staff is helpful and accommodating but could improve in handling situations like having too many people in a room. The breakfast could have more variety but includes pre-packaged items like muffins, breakfast bars, and coffee. The self-parking area costs $20 a night which can be a drawback. The hotel is located in a residential area with easy access to the tube station.
