8.2/10 Very good! (1,006 reviews)
In general the property is fine. It was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. It also has a great location. I had to book in a rush and I almost cancelled the reservation mid flight. The reviews I read were awful. The property did not reflect that in my opinion. Parking is expensive. There is ongoing construction, and a dumpster was right outside my first floor window. Fortunately, I was in LA for work so I did not have to bear the noise during the day. When I returned each evening construction had stopped for the day. Noise, overnight, in the building was nominal. The hotel is very no frills. There is no food nor a bar onsite, although a water machine is in the lobby. I would not stay with my family, as the rooms are very small. Overall the property is great for a single business traveller.

8.6/10 Excellent! (817 reviews)
⚠️ FAIR WARNING to anyone thinking about booking a stay at THE LEEF. We stayed for 3 days/2 nights. The room itself is cute, and while there’s no microwave—which is inconvenient—it wasn’t a huge deal. What IS a huge deal is that we found TWO ROACHES in our room on the very first night. I reported it the following morning, but they weren’t able to provide us with a different room. Instead, I was offered cleaning services for that day and one day of free parking (aka $10) as compensation. However, on the next morning - checkout day, we found TWO MORE ROACHES. Four roaches during a two-night stay is absolutely unacceptable. A hotel should be able to provide guests with a clean, pest-free room, and the fact that we continued finding roaches after reporting the issue is disgusting. And don’t expect much when it comes to customer service. The so-called “lobby” is essentially just a screen with a virtual representative. When you have an actual issue that requires assistance, it makes the experience even more frustrating. I genuinely hope no one else has to worry about accidentally bringing roaches home with them after staying here. Do yourself a favor: if you value cleanliness and want a pest-free stay, DON’T STAY AT THE LEEF.
