I stayed here for 3 nights in 2005. The room I booked was a little bit smaller than I expected, but with a downtown LA view, I loved it!
This hotel is in the heart of downtown LA bank/hotel area, so shopping or dining out is not a problem. I really like that the California Pizza Kitchen is so near to this hotel, I like the Peking duck pizza there! Service is OK, and I waited in a short line for check in. I didn't go to the pool so no comments.
