Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great location for a cheap price, was skeptical seeing the reviews in 2014-2018 but it looks like all those issues were addressed. I did notice long hairs on the pillow covers (I'm bald so can't be me) so I avoided using them, room service did come by daily and made the bed and provided fresh towels however. Front desk reception was super chill and helpful, I wasn't expecting much from a 1 star hotel but was pleasently surprised. If your only goal is good value and good location, I highly recommend Stillwell hotel. You get what you pay for, for everyone complaining about amenities/asthetic in a cheap 1 star hotel.”
“The hotel itself is quite old, however we didn't experience this as much of an issue. The main downside was the size of the beds, as they were rather small. Staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. Would certainly recommend to people looking for a budget hotel in downtown LA due to its great location and price.”
