I shared a spacious room with my adult son during a 4 day trip to visit LA. I would have preferred the option of 2 beds but that was not available. We made the king work though. The room was adequate for our needs (sleeping, and being close to my daugher's house). The bedding was clean although an extra blanket would have been nice. We were there in Nov and nights were a little cold. The AC/heater worked well but was very noisy coming on throughout the night. We had to ask for more towels at the start and maid service didn't replace the proper amount. No problem asking front desk for them. Frigde, microwave, TV all very good. There was some grout funkiness around the bathtub that could have been cleaned with clorox ,but not terrible. Most importantly it was a very good price, safe parking in courtyard and I felt safe (even when I slept there alone one night).
