Good location

The hotel is in a good location. For those taking the bus, there are bus stops right around the corner from the hotel going to LACC and Crypto arena. Lots of parking spaces too. It is also near some grocery stores and restaurants. All walkable. I didn't have a lot of expectation about the hotel but the room is a decent place to stay.

Staff was helpful. Bed sheets and towels seemed clean. The hand/body soap bar wasn’t so good. Not foamy enough. Happy there was an ac but it was very loud. Bed was firm but comfortable. I Homeless please around the area. I like that there were stores and shops near by. It was close to crypto arena which I liked. Shower Water was warm but stream felt like a power wash very powerful. They have a laundry room but you need to bring your own detergent etc. no vending machine for that. There are vending machines for drinks and snacks.

People are leaving wierd reviews about bed bugs and other wierd things.... none of that occured. The desk managers were amazing and nice. The room was great for what we needed it for. (A shower, a bed,) resturants surround the area along with a cvs and ralphs. You can park in the parking garage which is easier then lot parking. My only complaints are that the beds were super hard. Like sleeping on the floor. The bathroom is tiny so we had trouble moving around in there. The shower was missingvits shower head so we got a rain forest mist lol. Honestly if u are going to a concert or a confrence in the convention center on a low budget this hotel is great for a short stay.

Great place to stay if you're looking for a clean bed to sleep in for the night and if you're not too picky about your hotels. It's an old building but everything is functional - small microwave and mini fridge; A/C works great (kept the room quite cold in the LA summer heat); shower has hot water; sink works; toilet works, all in all, can't complain about the basic amenities. The downtown location and price can't be beat, but if you want a fancier hotel room, this isn't the place for you. I'd definitely stay here again for the price and if I needed to be close to downtown LA.

Honestly, for modern standards, the room could be seen as somewhat poor. But this hotel is excellent when it comes to value. Everything in your room is just enough to get the job done. Ac was great, room didnt stink, no bed bugs, good shower pressure. 10/10 would stay again.

I liked that it was close to the convention center. But, the fact that they don't have a designated parking area and that you have to pay 25 dollars for overnight stay in both the parking lots directly next to it is very inconvenient. The people were really nice but the elevators were a little too small for even 2 people. The price of the hotel (a little over 100 a night) matched the look of the hotel. The bathrooms were a bit small (I could wash my hands while sitting on the toilet) but the space of the bed room was great. It even came with a microwave and fridge so those are pluses

It’s a one-star hotel.. but we aren’t really picky . The stay was adequate and did what it was supposed to do for the price we paid . Loved the surrounding areas and very close parking. Plumbing and air were good. VERY QUIET, so no complaints. They had a microwave to use. Elevators old, mattress not too comfortable, TV channels weren’t always “clear”. But overall, it was good enough for us.

Parking prices were competitive, low rates which was great. The room itself was clean, having the rooms remodeled would be very appealing to a lot more people but it was a perfectly enjoyable stay.

Good location, walking distance to the convention center. The shower was surprisingly good, enough pressure and immediate hot water. The rest are... Meh. I mean I kinda knew it after reading the reviews, so it was just exactly what I expected. Old building, old room, insufficient amenities. Homeless junkies laying on the street. I emailed the hotel before but got no response. Tried calling them from the room after checking in and no one picked it up. But it was the best deal in that area and I might actually choose to stay there again.

We have been staying at the Stillwell for many years for an annual convention. It is reasonably priced, the rooms all have a fridge and micro and the staff is very nice. It is a family owned hotel and has a mellow family vibe in contrast to the typical corporate hotel. The neighborhood is not great with so many homeless but we have never been hassled and we walk everywhere. They have an Indian restaurant right in the lobby.
