Interestingly decorated rooms and boutique style hotel. Nice healthy breakfast options and awesome coffee supported by hard working staff. Really enjoyed the location beside koreatown and all the multi ethnic food options.

Great hotel
We had a little trouble finding it at first, but once we got here everything went smoothly. The staff had been in contact with me since the morning of my travel via text and answered any questions I had and were very quick to respond. They were very helpful and nice.

Exceptional Hotel
I totally loved this place. The room was clean, quiet, comfortable with a fabulous shower and a turntable with actual vinyl (good choices too). Breakfast was exactly what I wanted - fresh, gf, tasty and not too large. They know how to make a really good cortado. The whole place has a friendly laid-back but efficient vibe. One of the best places I have stayed.
