I had previously stayed at the Chicago Hoxton in 2019, so I had good expectations for this place -- all of which were exceeded! From the moment I pulled up until the moment I left, this ranks as one of the best hotel experience. Staff are friendly, the views are FANTASTIC, the room was perfect for my needs. I booked a "Cosy Queen" and it was not only "cosy" but just an all around great space with everything I need for a good stay -- comfy bed, decent AC, water, and coffee. And I was surprised to find a nice bath tub which seems to be a disappearing feature of a lot of hotel spaces.
Moonlark's Dinette downstairs was a great way to start the day, enjoyed it all mornings of my stay instead of venturing out for anything else. Chilaquiles were better than expected and you can't go wrong with any of the standard choices (eggs, hash browns, etc.).
The downtown location is excellent. I can't believe this is the first time I have stayed downtown but it really did make it easier to get around, for the most part.
This will definitely be my go-to for future L.A. trips.
I highly suggest getting the valet package, just so it is one less thing to worry about (and it was nice to not have to estimate one more cos on the trip).
