Stillwell Hotel

Granted, the Stillwell opened in 1906 and definitely looks it. Its once-modest grandeur has faded. If you're looking for modern and fancy, find a different hotel. But if you're a fan of Film Noir B-Movies and ghostly old buildings with character, the Stillwell's silent, slightly melancholy vibe might be up your street. P.S. The Stillwell sits at the edge of downtown L.A.'s former theatre district. I didn't encounter the spirits of any failed vaudevillian magicians, washed-up ventriloquists, or broken-hearted chorus girls. But I'm sure they were still hanging around. Maybe I'll meet them during my next stay.

Right price in an expensive area is

Place is haunted. Didn't get charged a deposit. Bed feels like it hates you. Pretty sure I was the only guest, elevator was always where I left it. I dunno, I didnt die. So it's cool

Change the Expedia photo. That's not even the hotel. It's a hundred year old one star hotel masquerading as a four star.

Parking was across the street and was very reasonable! The rooms were clean and air conditioned

But no hair dryer.

Room was very clean. The Staff is excellent. The Hotel is light on Amenities, and the restaurant only has lunch & dinner hrs. If you want coffee there is a local coffee shop a couple doors up & a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts within walking distance. There are restaurants also within walking distance. If you want a basic, clean hotel in Downtown LA, the Stillwell is a good choice. It is definitely the most affordable hotel in the area. I would stay there again.

Very old, outdated, almost feels unsafe.

Staff was great. Check in and check out was quick and easy. Only paid parking lot but it was conveniently located next to the hotel.

The hotel is not well kept and does not look like the photos I viewed when I booked the stay. The elevators are very old and, although the staff was nice, they did not meet my request of getting more toilet paper. I spent the last day without toilet paper and had to use tissues. That is unacceptable.

Parking was near but cost too much money $30/half day, unsecured). The room had 2 twin beds when I selected 2 queen beds. Built in 1912 in DTLA, it felt like staying at a low income residential apartment. Homeless everywhere asking for change. Will definitely pay the money to stay at a nicer hotel.

Location was ideal for stopping, business meeting etc

Easy check in. Clean room. WiFi.

I’ve been staying at Stillwell hotel for last couple years (when I travel to LA) its location is convenient for where I need to be downtown LA. The rates are affordable, Whole Foods near by, so you can stock up on some snacks, fruits or even light breakfast / lunch. Hotel / building is old (I think) and could use some renovations… at least the bathrooms. For the price & location it’s not bad. If I don’t find anything less expensive when I go to LA, I’ll stay there again. Location & price is most important for me

We love historic hotels, but that can be a roll of the dice. This one is serviceable and clean, but it is tired. From outside the entrance canopy is damaged and the lighted sign at the top of the building is half burned out. There is no overnight attendant at the front desk although the security guard eventually can let you in. The front door has no way to call in, although it apparently can ring a doorbell. There is no room key access through the front door after hours. Despite this and the very basic room, this is an affordable and functional place to stay located walking distance from a lot of DTLA, and it is clean. We were looking for a bit more pampering for this trip, and the desk manager graciously let us cut our stay short and refunded us the difference with Hotels.com help, for which we were grateful. If I were traveling on my own and just needed a basic place to sleep, I would consider this as one option. I would love to see an investor put something into this one.

Never got a code for the wifi so I cannot rate it. Clean room with ac. Only thing, the bed was a bit too ‘firm’. Do not have their own parking lot but there’s a (paid) lot next door.

It was an inexpensive stay, in a close location near Staples Center, not fancy but a solid place to rest your head.

Stayed at this hotel, I liked that it’s super close to the Crypto arena, and lots of food nearby, grocery store etc. the staff was friendly. The room was as advertised. Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary but it had what I needed and for the price you won’t find anything cheaper that close. Very vintage building so that was cool.

Obviously, an older hotel, and the rooms reflect this. The staff were friendly, the bed were comfortable but only had two pillows which made it difficult to sleep with. I had to fold one of the pillows in half just to get enough height for my head. The TV reception kept breaking up. All in all if you need an inexpensive room to stay overnight in LA, the Stillwell is a fair choice, but bring an extra pillow or some form of neck support. Also bring your own shampoo and conditioner.

Very basic. Bad for the price.
