Doubletree is adjacent to Little Tokyo and between 2 Metro stations. For DTLA, it’s a safer alternative to the historic core. Rooms are clean, staff are friendly, and there is an intriguing garden area at the hotel, which is like an oasis amidst the urban sprawl. There’s a nice little coffee spot around the corner inside the Miyako Hotel, and Little Tokyo itself has a nice variety of cafes, stores, and bakeries. Downtown is walkable to Grand Central Market. Plus, the Metro at 1st and Alameda takes you all the way to Santa Monica. I’ll be returning the next time I venture to Los Angeles.
