I have stayed in a number of different hotels in the US but never have I come across a place quite like the Figueroa Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The hotel's website is informative and shows you exactly what you will get - a cool hotel in downtown LA with an atmosphere way past the ordinary and staff who are... more

The hotel is definitely overrated. The internet gives the impression of a very stylish hotel with strong arabic-moroccan flair. In reality the rooms are extremely small (at least my one is), it is all far away from being modern (the electricity leaves a lot to be desired in terms of secured wiring), the bathroom is the narrowest I ever saw.... more

I had been to the bar at the Fig before so I knew already that I loved the atmosphere and decor the hotel has going on. The show Alias used this place as its Morocco. When we were at the bar, the pool was calling to me. But unlike some other L.A. hotels (like the Standard) it is guests only.... more

Okay, the hotel is not an oasis like the website may suggest, but it is not a rat hole either. It is a very old hotel in a very old building. Our room was very clean. Period. The bed was very comfortable. The TV had cable, but no movies or pornos. The key is metal, not magnetic like in new... more

I had booked the Figueroa upon learning I would be attending a conference at the LA Convention Center based on a positive experience I had there 10 years prior.

I've stayed at A LOT of fabulous hotels throughout Southern California & enjoyed being pampered at some of LA's ultimate luxury stays but if you want something that will truly make you feel you landed in some exotic, far away place.... Figueroa Hotel!! Smack in the middle of downtown Los Angeles (the epitome of concrete jungles) is a hotel that... more

The Historic Figueroa (Fig-you-roar-AH) Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, California. My roommate chose this hotel for herself, my daughter and me because of it being the closest walking distance (about 2-3 blocks) to the L.A. Convention Center (we attended the 2008 Screenwriter's EXPO). She also told me it was a neat atmosphere. When I read negative reviews I became nervous... more

First off, I am sorry I read the negative reviews on this site...they really frightened me. When my husband surprised me with this trip I looked here for a heads-up to the hotel to see the amenities. We were going to the Staples Center and it was very close. Is this a hotel for those used to all the 'extras'?... more
