Stayed here at the end of June, when the hotel was newly opened. You can't beat the location - right across from Staples Center, and right next to Downtown LA (only minutes' walk away). Staff was very helpful and friendly, and I was able to use one of the meeting rooms on the 2nd floor for a business meeting. Great meeting facilities, and the A/V guy was very helpful in getting everything set up. Reasonable rate for room use as well. The Courtyard rooms were way better than your normal Courtyard. The beds were outstanding - super comfortable, great sheets, etc. I felt like this hotel is such a great value, since you are getting JW Marriott type rooms at Courtyard prices. My new place to stay in downtown LA!
