For the $, and the proximity to an event I was going to…it served its purpose. It’s in definite need of an update, but the room was clean and th staff were friendly. No muss, no fuss check in and out. You’re literally around the corner from Olivera Street.

Honestly a good cheap place for downtown LA and a good spot in between Chinatown, Little Tokyo, City Hall, and the Mexican Plaza. They are under construction right now. The prices honestly matched what I was expecting, so no surprise there. I hope even after they finish constuction, that theh keep prices low/reasonable. New Air conditioning/heating system in the room.

Went on a Monday. Staff greeted us friendly. Their parking is in a garage. We have a truck which had a lot of valuables in the bed of the truck, but thankfully they have lots of surveillance so I did not feel bad about leaving my valuables in the bed of my truck in the garage. The whole hotel had a slight smell, but wasn’t too unpleasant. Restroom and room were a good size. We had a window that viewed a lot of the city which we enjoyed.

Location was great- walking distance from the train station which we wanted. Also a short walk to Olvera market which is a great Mexican market with lots of great shops and food vendors. Hotel is in the midst of renovations and the bathroom was nicely upgraded and bed was ok. Room was clean. Downside is that noise travels in this hotel so if you are a light sleeper and are sensitive to door slamming or people talking loudly in hallways you might not want to stay here. The staff though were great and very welcoming.

The best thing going for this place is it's location 5 walking minutes from union station. Also, the staff is super nice and responsive. But the area around the entrance is not pleasant. I didn't feel unsafe, but I saw some unpleasant sights. Not ideal for vacation.

The room I was in was nice, except for the shower head and the safe that was was malfunctioning.

Bottom line: unless you need to stay right next to Union station, try finding some place nicer to stay. Glad I only spent one night there.

I recently stayed at the Metro Plaza Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and overall had a really good experience. The location is excellent — just a short walk from Union Station, Olvera Street and Chinatown, which made exploring the city so easy without needing a car. There are great eats right around the corner, and easy access to public transit for getting around LA. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax after a long day of sightseeing.
and the staff at reception were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option with a prime location and clean, comfortable rooms, this is a solid pick. I’d happily stay here again!

This is an aging but safe and economical city hotel convenient to Union Station, Chinatown, historic sites pertaining to early Mexican immigration and business-founding, and the legendary Philippe’s French dip sandwich restaurant (which was hopping as LA Dodgers fought for their second consecutive World Series title!). Great location for Dia de Los Muertos too with celebrations/dance taking place a short walk away. I had to rent a car for 24 hours and was pleased to use economical covered parking right next door.

This is a no frills hotel but was competent enough at that. The housekeeping was competent and the staff polite. The location is pretty convenient - an easy walk to Olvera St and Union Station, and walkable to Little Tokyo and Chinatown. We were in the redone part of the hotel so it was a bit nicer than other parts but it was clear walking down the hotel that other parts may be more worn/shabby (you can see the walls). The room is also a bit dark with no overhead light and only a small window and the amenities basic. For instance there is a desk area but there are seating cubes rather than a chair and no luggage racks to open your suitcases on (we used the seating cubes to rest our luggage on but this meant nowhere to sit). There is hanging space (though few coat hangers) and an upper shelf space but no drawers. I wasn't a huge fan of the shower system which didn't allow you to control water pressure or stand away from where the water was falling while it warmed up. But these were very minor issues and all in all it was a comfortable stay with major issues such as cleanliness, location and the competence and reliability of staff all to what we expected for the price.

Very convenient location - it is walking distance to Union Station, and Olvera Street is between the hotel and train depot. For a Dodger game, you can take a train to Union Station and from there take Dodger Express to Chavez Ravine. After the game, we stayed the night.

Otherwise - thoroughly adequate.

1. Location feels unsafe at first, and then you gradually getting used to it after a day.
2. Walking distance from metro and train station and is good if you don't have a car.
3. Very near to a Mexican street with lots of street shopping and dining options in the street. But it closes at 6PM(not sure on all days)
4. Bit of walking from the Fly away bus drop point, but you can easily walk if there is not much luggage. Walking with luggage was a bit difficult though as it is not a flat area and footpatha were not well maintained

Basic, budget friendly, option near train station

This hotel is across the street from LA's Union Station and a very easy walk to the Philippe's Sandwich shop with the French onion dip beef sandwiches. I'm told lots of folks that attend Dodgers games stay here. I took the FlyAway bus from LAX ($12.75) then walked over from the train station. I was due to catch an Amtrak train the next day and this was the closest hotel to the station. The downstairs lobby is very basic and utilitarian. The desk attendant got me checked in quickly. The hotel is definitely worn, but they seem to be doing some cosmetic upgrades. I had a 3rd floor room with a king bed that included a small fridge, iron, hair dryer, and some toiletries (soap/shampoo). The TV had all the standard cable channels. The bathroom shower was upgraded with a glass enclosure and rain shower head. When I got off the elevator on the 3rd floor there was an ice machine and a water cooler to fill up my water bottle. For what I paid, it was well worth it and so convenient to get to the train station. If you need an economical place to crash, this place will certainly do.

Decent location if you plan on using public transportation for your stay - within minutes of union station, which is a main stop for trains and buses. Other stations also very close.
