Amazing! What went well?
I was very pleased with my stay at Forty First Place Boutique Hotel in Los Angeles. We enjoyed the deluxe room with a balcony-it was extremely clean and immaculate. Housekeeping consistently showed great care and attention to cleanliness, with fresh sheets and a very welcoming atmosphere. Overall, great vibes and a comfortable stay. We will definitely book again.

Do not stay there. The area is terrible, annoying car parking, room looks nothing like the photos, small beds and dirty. And my bathroom door was stuck locked so I packed up and booked somewhere else.
Your building manager is much much more than the title implies. The service from Mike and Cassandra went way above and beyond what people would expect more like a personal concierge the room was exceptional, clean neat and tidy. This is a little gem of a place in an otherwise sea of customer service people have forgotten.
We had a comfortable stay for a week. Housekeeping staff both of them were very helpful. Good service.

No staff on site
Sheets had cigarette holes burned in - seriously wondered if they had been laundered - smelled bad
Noisy - neighbors knocking on doors at 12:00pm to move cars- then loud honking for 15 min. Neighbor has several dogs that barked constantly -Smoke alarm went off continuously every 2 min after midnight - texted staff no response for like 10 min
Do yourself a favor pay a little more - stay somewhere else !
