Room was very clean. The Staff is excellent. The Hotel is light on Amenities, and the restaurant only has lunch & dinner hrs. If you want coffee there is a local coffee shop a couple doors up & a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts within walking distance. There are restaurants also within walking distance. If you want a basic, clean hotel in Downtown LA, the Stillwell is a good choice. It is definitely the most affordable hotel in the area. I would stay there again.

Stayed at this hotel, I liked that it’s super close to the Crypto arena, and lots of food nearby, grocery store etc. the staff was friendly. The room was as advertised. Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary but it had what I needed and for the price you won’t find anything cheaper that close. Very vintage building so that was cool.

Parking was near but cost too much money $30/half day, unsecured). The room had 2 twin beds when I selected 2 queen beds. Built in 1912 in DTLA, it felt like staying at a low income residential apartment. Homeless everywhere asking for change. Will definitely pay the money to stay at a nicer hotel.

I’ve been staying at Stillwell hotel for last couple years (when I travel to LA) its location is convenient for where I need to be downtown LA. The rates are affordable, Whole Foods near by, so you can stock up on some snacks, fruits or even light breakfast / lunch. Hotel / building is old (I think) and could use some renovations… at least the bathrooms. For the price & location it’s not bad. If I don’t find anything less expensive when I go to LA, I’ll stay there again. Location & price is most important for me

Never got a code for the wifi so I cannot rate it. Clean room with ac. Only thing, the bed was a bit too ‘firm’. Do not have their own parking lot but there’s a (paid) lot next door.

Old hotel but cheap in middle of dt la. Best I can say is it does the job. Parking is decent though it’s unattended paid parking. I wouldn’t walk around at night but if you uber should be okay. I’d stay here again but I’d look at other places before I stay here again

The building is old and the rooms are basic, but it's super clean and the staff is very professional. I really love staying here and will probably choose this place over others during my next visit. It's very easy to get to the metro from here. The Indian restaurant on the first floor is pretty good, too.

The hotel is not well kept and does not look like the photos I viewed when I booked the stay. The elevators are very old and, although the staff was nice, they did not meet my request of getting more toilet paper. I spent the last day without toilet paper and had to use tissues. That is unacceptable.
