Old world hotel in great condition. Amazing bar restaurant and coffee shop all in the same building. Mixologist par excellence in residence at Edmon. You must treat yourself to the skills of the chef. Beer garden and off street parking a bonus.

Excellent staff, nice place to stay, self parking reasonable. Room smelled like stale cigarette smoke but was clean otherwise. Large corner room adjacent to loud busy street. I like the hotel and would stay again but in a room that didn’t smell like an old dive bar.

Thanks for a great visit.

The hotel and its employees were wonderful. Great atmosphere. Food in the lounge/restaurant was very good. The room was spotless and comfortable... maybe a wee bit small.

Hotel rooms need updates, no ventilation in the bathroom which makes room smell funky. Neighbors look a little bit sketchy. Won’t come back if I visit LA again.

Classy place

A very classy place. I would stay here again. There are very large b&w photos of old time movie stars on each floor in the hallways. This hotel has been here a very long time. Two things to be aware. No coffee maker or microwave in the room. There is a microwave off the lobby outside in the back of the hotel.

Front desk Michael and Betty were outstanding and really made our first trip to Los Angeles better than they would have been otherwise. Hotel is comfortable and historic. If you’re desiring the best and latest accomodations, this will disappoint. If you want a safe, comfortable, convenient location to tour LA with some great front desk staff, you will be pleased.
