"Beautiful hotel, rooms are really small but overall design and view still well worth the price! Will definitely be back. Having access to Level 8 was also a huge perk! Party all night long!! Great place to visit, but if you’re looking for quiet this is not the place. The music is going until 2am, so if you’re trying to have quiet sleep, not going to happen. I loved it because I was there to party!! Great drinks, great staff, and delicious food!"

"Have stayed a bunch of times at IHG DTLA, the security, friendliness and cleanliness are some of the reasons of returning. The guests I found at IHG DTLA can sometimes be the problem, they seem to be in a hurry and yet they are in a Hotel, so its a distraction but it doesn't take away from the Hotels experience 5 stars, I personally looked for a longer stay but at this time the prices were a tad high.....shout out to Angel and all the front desk squad, very professional"

10/10 Excellent
"This is the most beautiful place I have ever slept. I'm not used to the VIP princess treatment but I got it here. The room was so nice, I skipped sightseeing to stay in and pamper myself. Why go to a spa for a hot tub when you have your private deep tub to sink into. Why go to a restaurant when you can uber eats everything. If you need a staycation, a get away from the family cation, or a place to find peace this is where you should go. I'm not sure if I got upgraded or something because the room was beautiful! I had a full kitchen, washer dryer, dishwasher, 2 tvs, luxury tub. So pretty. The best part was the staff. They made me feel like I was a VIP. Every time I pulled up in the uber it was like I had private body guards opening the door for me. Demeuw even greeted me by name every time I passed him while opening the door. I was blown away by this princess treatment. Everyone had advice to offer about where to go and wanted to help. The reception staff felt like family. Another security guard kept me safe when I went to get Tacos. I hope you realize your staff is incredible and made me love this place. They made me feel so safe wrapped in my protected fortress. If your from LA looking for a place to pamper yourself, go here. If your not from LA what you need to know is you can't walk around at night. I wouldn't even rent a car. During the day I was able to catch the bus all over LA, from Hollywood to SOFI. Not at night. You need to uber to the door. Luckly there is Demew"
