The hotel itself is trendy and cool. Well decorated. The pool is gorgeous, waterbeds are fun, the music could be way better but I understand the feel they are trying to give for everyone and not a club atmosphere, views are breathtaking. Food is pretty good as well. My only complaint is that the rooms are very basic. The bed... More

Thanks for reviewing us Jessica and we're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Our design is very minimalism and modern and we offer complimentary wifi throughout the hotel for our guests. Perhaps next time you can visit, SPiN, which is our awesome ping-pong club! Thanks again and we hope to welcome you back soon! James Palmer More

I stayed at the Standard for 2 nights on a recent business trip to downtown LA. After having stayed at Westin, Omni and the Hilton Checkers, I would rate this one better than Omni and Westin and slightly below Hilton. pros: Very nice staff/very helpful. Free Wifi in rooms. Great bar to hang out and have a beer after a... More

The hotel has a nice look and feel but upon closer inspection it did not meet my expectations. The open concept bathroom is nice to look at from a distance. Dated deco design in bedrooms also left a lot to be desired. Overall the Hotel room was fairly clean. I did have a strange odor coming from the sink but... More

Sorry to hear that you weren't entirely satisfied with your stay with us. We are extremely different to The Westin brand though so I can understand that if that is your favored brand, we might not be your cup of tea! I'm happy you enjoyed our pool and perhaps next time you can try SPiN - our fun ping-pong club. More

Aside of terrific line staff, leadership must be lacking. One day, no one even came and cleaned the room. The showers were more a spray than a shower. Paint needed and general fixing up. Ended up going to the Primo Caffe for breakfast...great food and value...just a block away.

We're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay with us as much as you could have. Our team here pride themselves on great service so I am happy you experienced that first hand. Due to extremely high occupancy it can be tricky for us to give the rooms that lick of paint needed at times but this is something... More

This hotel is fun and I love when they remake a hotel in an interesting building. This one is a former bank and business building. One in your room, you need to get past the fact that everything is a bit different than your typical hotel room. Hard to describe but think hip, cool, modern. Only complaint is the level... More

Stayed for three nights on our California trip. Surprised when arrived with a rock and roll style, club with long line to get in, weed fume äll around the halls. But we got used to it... Loved the rooftop bar with L.A.city centre view. There is nothing to do in the centre, next time will try Standard in Hollywood.
