It's downtown, but somehow thought there would be more eateries and things to do walking distance. Pluses: Metro right behind, The Broad & Disney concert hall one street in front. Minus: front desk (not helpful & won't pick up phone) I guess understaffed at night?, parking (go to 213 S Spring for $12 a night instead, some streets dodgy making it not so great to walk except daytime. Will try Metro to get around next time. I would not stay here again, underwhelming for the price.
