Metro Plaza Hotel

I've staid multiple times at that hotel. It's fine for a night or two in downtown Los Angeles, right next to the Olvera street market. The hotel is also conveniently located to Union Station, public transportation, and the Music Center with its theatres and the LA opera house. The rooms are spacious and so are the bathrooms. TV, safe, and fridge are in the rooms. What's lacking is a coffee maker. Overall, one shouldn't come with too high expectations. It's a budget priced hotel and it's perfectly sufficient for me.

Photos are not what the rooms look like. The hall carpets are dirty & ragged. No restaurant, no breakfast as was advertised. Free parking advertised but was charged $5/day. At least the parking had direct access to the hotel. Could only find one tiny Mexican restaurant anywhere nearby. The wi-fi worked. TV remote was set up very weird. Housekeeper was pleasant. Bathroom was clean but no lotion or shampoo and conditioner. The elevator was immaculate. Overall very disappointing.

I stayed here to be as close as I could to Dodger stadium. The hotel is older, but it holds up. It has a very 1970s Quincy ME investigation look to it. The bed was firm but comfortable. There were lots of Dodgers fans staying here. The staff was very kind and wanted us to have a good stay. On-site covered parking is only $5 and right near Union Station to take a free bus to the game. The hotel needs a face lift, but as long as the service is as good as it was with very kind people, it's worth the lack of other amenities. If I was going to another game or visiting Chinatown, I would stay here again.

Rooms are about the same as a motel 6. Nothing spectacular and the prices were low. So no complaints as far as pricing. Stuff were always helpful and courteous. The area around the hotel isn't the greatest. It is however located pretty close to a lot of stuff. You could walk to several different restaurants. Right next to Union station. I would just be careful walking at night. All in all I had an okay stay there.

I was stuck at Union Station waiting for a seriously delayed train, and they have NO electric outlets for waiting passengers there. The kind front desk folks at Metro Plaza Hotel let me hang out in their lobby, have some tea, and rest a bit while I recharged (literally and figuratively). It’s not a fancy place, but it’s just what’s needed when you’re exhausted from traveling, and you would be hard pressed to find more honest and compassionate people in this neighborhood. Thank you, Metro Plaza!
