This was the 1st hotel for our California road trip & it wasn't what we were expecting or use to, but for the price, you accept it. There are shared bathroom & toilet facilities on each floor, these vary in quality & cleanliness, so maybe worth having a quick check of a few - I found the 3rd shower on... More

Well, I went to a lot of places in America, and stayed in a lot of hotels and hostels but this one is really bad. Firstly, after the murder happened in Cecil, they established an another hostel called "stay on main". And I booked this hostel. They moved all my stuff to another room without my permission and when I... More

We spent a couple of nights at Stay on Main but it wasn't that nice. Smelly and hot rooms, shared bathrooms and showers which weren't clean at all. Very poor breakfast and the breakfast area is extremely small for all the guests who are having breakfast at the same time. The staff wasn't helpful at all, they called a van... More

Keep in mind that this is a budget hotel and hostel, and that's what you should expect it to be. It comprises some floors of another older hotel which they have renovated and added some new amenities to. The area of the city can be a little rough, particularly after dark and it is recommended that you not wander around... More

Cannot add anything more to what was already said. I would advise all reading to take it all with a grain of salt and do your research outside of this site as well. Downtown LA is downtown LA. That's all I'm gonna say about that (do your research or ask a friend). This was my first time staying downtown and... More

Great rooms, shared bathrooms, but their floor of the Cecil hotel is pristine! Great decor, very hip and comfortable. I bed room small, but a wet bar and a flat screen really make the room feel cozy. Make sure not to travel east on seventh or eighth street, but everything west of main is great at night.

I really don't understand some people on here. What more do you want for $50-$60 a night? If you want the amenities and the room size of of the Ritz or Beverly Hotel then spend $300 a night. This hotel has everything we needed cozy room, continental breakfast in the mornings, conveniently located in the heart of downtown near Museums,... More

My friend and I were planning on staying for only 3 nights, but decided to extend it till the end of our trip! We loved it. The location was convenient because the metro was only a few blocks away and we used it everyday. The rooms were cozy and had a fun vibe to them. Not to mention, free breakfast... More
