Good location for garment district. Lots of places to eat in the area. Rooms where very small and we had to pay an extra $50 per night for a bathroom. Hotel was beautiful in its day. Staff was not very friendly. No ice machine, no air. The Nickel diner was a great place to eat less then a block away... More

My weekend rate for one person with a bath was about $75 (including taxes). This is a good rate for a hotel in downtown Los Angeles, If you get a room without a bathroom it is less. (There were communal toilets and showers in the hallway.) My room and the small bathroom were very basic, but clean. It would be... More

To start with I get a room which had a latch lock which was barely holding together, the room could hardly fit a bed in the room. The room said shared bathroom, but the smell and cleanliness of the room and the shared bathroom was terrible. The bathroom didn't had the amenities. The flush wasn't working for the bathroom.

Maybe it was bad luck, maybe they just gave me the worst room they had, maybe the staff over at front desk were having a bad day, but... 1. My room was old, ill maintained, small, and uncomfortable. The heater did not work, the bathroom was really small and once you take a shower everything gets soaked. 2. WiFi is... More

When I first stayed here in May of 2005, one could purchase anything they needed legally or illegally! Catch my drift. This hotel has taken large strides in cleaning up this downtown neighborhood known as the warehouse district and skid row! The rooms were smelly then and reaked of smoke and other stuff, but it seemed to me that the... More

We stayed here for several nights in November 2012 and would not recommend it - even if you are on a budget. We have stayed in hostels and 1 stars before and they have all been much nicer than Hotel Cecil. Although the lobby is well preserved, the corridors are in desperate need of decoration, with chipped bright yellow walls... More
