Uptown Design District Holidays from AU$1,566

You check in virtually which is nice for any non-social people, my room was very clean, they are small/ studio size, definitely less than 600sq ft for the 1-bed but very nice and pathetic, very well taken care of by their staff ! However not much parking

The room was large and clean. The bed was comfortable. Check in was quick. A kettle and water in the room would have been appreciated

Very noisy room- complained to staff but nothing changed. No cups in the room. Dark light in bathroom. Probably wouldn’t stay again. Convenient location though .

Honest review: Pros: Very near UCLA, staff was nice, bed was quite comfortable, internet was fast enough to stream a movie on my laptop, room was clean, free breakfast (would have preferred more protein, but it was free after all), valet was very quick with my car, reasonable price given how many other hotels nearby are outrageously priced, clearly they use dehumidifiers to keep the humidity level managed (nice for us given we come from a drier climate and aren’t used to the humidity), the staff reached out in advance to see if I had any special requests before arrival Cons: Next to the freeway and traffic goes all night (we were on the freeway side) - manageable with earplugs or if you are a heavy sleeper; no shower door or curtain so good luck keeping water fully in the shower and it was impossible not to be cold while showering; the toilet paper holder was not stable; no microwave to reheat food we brought with us; BIGGEST complaint…the A/C unit was so loud it sounded like an airplane engine starting up and we were forced to turn off the A/C so that we could sleep without being woken every hour. All other inconveniences were minor compared to that. I really hope they fix/upgrade their units. Would I stay again? Yep. Would I make sure to have earplugs? Big YEP! Would I prefer them to have a maintenanced/quieter Air conditioner? Giant YEP!!

Very good location. 24 hours reception.
