The American Hotel

Ok, it's downtown LA so the area isn't amazing, but we always felt safe day or night walking around here and over to Little Tokyo. The hotel itself is decent enough and good value for the price. The room was spacious and comfortable. Bathrooms were good too, there was one on each level that was private as well as ones with cubicles so it wasn't a problem sharing. They always seemed to get cleaned well too. Didn't have too many interactions with staff but those we did were good, let us check in early which after a 12-hour flight was amazing. ||Taps in the sinks in the bathrooms were a bit annoying because you couldn't control the temperature. When we return to LA we will probably stay in somewhere like Santa Monica, but can't complain for DT.

Positive: lady at the front desk was very nice Negative: nooo

Fantastic affordable hotel. Room was clean, shared bathrooms were very clean, one of the bathroom options was a full private unisex bathroom with a shower, and the other was a female only shared bathroom. Great location, has a bodega below and Alfred coffee, and felt safe next to Youth To The People and Le Labo locations. The art district is beautiful! Also close to Little Tokyo. Will stay here again and recommend.

This place was a perfect place to stay for my visit to LA. I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg, and I also needed a place that was walkable from Union Station since I came from out of state on the Amtrak. The rooms are well furnished, clean, and comfortable with modern amenities. There was even room food service. Also, it wasn’t an issue for me, but people should be aware there are no elevators- I was on the 4th floor. Even just to get to the office requires ascending a flight of stairs. And yes, the bathrooms are communal (men and women’s) but they were always impeccably clean and I never actually saw anyone in them other than myself. There was also what I would call a “family bathroom” available to use. The hotel is located in a unique area of town kind of close to Little Tokyo- its

We had a few requests through Booking.com, and Masuma responded very quickly and positively, providing us with great assistance. Similarly, when we visited the reception, the gentleman on the morning shift was incredibly kind and attended to every request immediately. I can truly say he is very professional. Being in the same industry, you can somewhat understand the level of service he provided. The room was really clean. The hotel is very reliable, although some rooms do not have private bathrooms; instead, there are shared bathrooms on the floors. Nevertheless, they were exceptionally clean. The housekeeping service works very well and keeps everything orderly. No any elevater just note down. If you need an iron, ironing board, or a hairdryer, you can borrow them from the front desk—v
