I like how friendly and helpful staff at Stillwell. However, the only thing I didn't like about the hotel is yesterday, nobody came to clean up my room while I was gone, despite the fact that the door hanger reads "please make up this room". Other than that, I enjoyed my stay overall.

Parking prices were competitive, low rates which was great. The room itself was clean, having the rooms remodeled would be very appealing to a lot more people but it was a perfectly enjoyable stay.

Great place to stay if you're looking for a clean bed to sleep in for the night and if you're not too picky about your hotels. It's an old building but everything is functional - small microwave and mini fridge; A/C works great (kept the room quite cold in the LA summer heat); shower has hot water; sink works; toilet works, all in all, can't complain about the basic amenities. The downtown location and price can't be beat, but if you want a fancier hotel room, this isn't the place for you. I'd definitely stay here again for the price and if I needed to be close to downtown LA.

A bit older hotel, clean enough. Nice and dainty. Staff was courteous and helpful. Parking not included in stay or breakfast, but for the price it's ok.

We have been staying at the Stillwell for many years for an annual convention. It is reasonably priced, the rooms all have a fridge and micro and the staff is very nice. It is a family owned hotel and has a mellow family vibe in contrast to the typical corporate hotel. The neighborhood is not great with so many homeless but we have never been hassled and we walk everywhere. They have an Indian restaurant right in the lobby.

It’s a one-star hotel.. but we aren’t really picky . The stay was adequate and did what it was supposed to do for the price we paid . Loved the surrounding areas and very close parking. Plumbing and air were good. VERY QUIET, so no complaints. They had a microwave to use. Elevators old, mattress not too comfortable, TV channels weren’t always “clear”. But overall, it was good enough for us.

I liked that it was close to the convention center. But, the fact that they don't have a designated parking area and that you have to pay 25 dollars for overnight stay in both the parking lots directly next to it is very inconvenient. The people were really nice but the elevators were a little too small for even 2 people. The price of the hotel (a little over 100 a night) matched the look of the hotel. The bathrooms were a bit small (I could wash my hands while sitting on the toilet) but the space of the bed room was great. It even came with a microwave and fridge so those are pluses

Practical, no-frills hotel with great WiFi

Practical, no-frills hotel for a decent price given the location. I was in town for a conference and just needed someplace relatively inexpensive (for downtown LA) where I could work remotely. While the building itself is rather old and you shouldn’t expect any creature comforts, the staff was super friendly and the WiFi (which is free for guests) was blazing fast. Also, the location was fantastic for going to the conference center and hanging out downtown.

Old building, clean hotel

It’s a great location the guy in the front desk is so helpful and friendly. The only thing is the place is in a historic building, and you can smell is old. The room was so clean with a mini fridge, microwave, tv. Just is the place looking and smelling old, but still I want to back there next time. The rooms have a nice view, is so quiet, and the price is so affordable. I recommend the place.
Great view from our room

Good location, walking distance to the convention center. The shower was surprisingly good, enough pressure and immediate hot water. The rest are... Meh. I mean I kinda knew it after reading the reviews, so it was just exactly what I expected. Old building, old room, insufficient amenities. Homeless junkies laying on the street. I emailed the hotel before but got no response. Tried calling them from the room after checking in and no one picked it up. But it was the best deal in that area and I might actually choose to stay there again.
