When the best parking option is street parking, you know it's not good, but that doesn't even come close to describing the parking mess you'll find here. There are two parking lots, one is above ground and has about eight spots. It's a dead end lot so while getting in can be doable, getting out is a mess, as you have to manuever the other cars as well as the uncomfortably close walls of the hotel. Once you leave, you have to go out on to a busy street and your view will be blocked on both sides by the lucky guests who were able to find street parking.
If you have to park in the underground lot, you have to manuever through other cars, poles, garbage, the ceiling (!), as well as the unsafely steep one way ramp that leads down to the parking structure. If you are entering when someone else is trying to exit, you'll either have to reverse up a narrow hill with walls on both sides or hope the other person will reverse downhill into parked cars. It's going to be an accident either way so just hope for the best.
Once you get into the hotel, assuming you even make it that far, you'll probably have to try a few times before you get a clean room (i've stayed here twice and was shown to a dirty room both times). Then you can plug in your computer and if you're lucky enough to get a computer signal (I could on one of the 4 days I was there) it will not be "high-speed." I actually got a faster connection using the phone line. You can try to complain to the front desk but they'll just tell you to call a 1-800 help line that will just tell you that the problem is on the hotel's end.
The only nice thing about the hotel is the location, although there is absolutely NOTHING within walking distance or even short driving distance, you can reach all of the LA destinations without having to pay the typical LA prices. There is one guy that works at the hotel that is very nice but most of the workers could really care less about you.
Do yourself a favor and stay at the Ramada down the street. It used to be a Holiday Inn Express, it has good parking, and it's cheaper.
