H by H Hospitality

Now known as the H Hotel in a predominantly residential Koreatown neighborhood in what appears to be a converted commercial or residential building, this hotel sports retro yet modern chic vibe. If your room is ready you might be able to check in a little early, but only about 1.5 hours before the stated 3:00 pm check-in time. I was assigned to room 201, which is a corner room that may have been above the H Cafe. I think they may have nightly live music there (not for sure since I only stayed one night) but it didn’t bother us as it seemed muffled. In-room amenities were basic/minimal. There’s no clothes drawers and there’s no closet, instead there’s a hang rack with gold wire hangers. Bath toiletries included Bigelow shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soaps, and body lotion. There was also a hair dryer. The one thing I wished they would provide is disposable cups. The bathroom was interestingly designed to be basically be one large space with a shower stall and a partial glass partition separating it from the sink/counter and toilet. Also, the shower stall floor is the same level with the rest of the bathroom space. If you take “power” showers, it’s very likely the floor will get wet in the rest of the bathroom space. The electrical outlets in the main room included a USB connection for charging so that was appreciated. The one near the bed was working, however, the outlet near the TV wasn’t. Queen bed was firm but not too firm which was to my liking. The front desk staff was very courteous and professional. The hotel is off the main road but there’s a bus stop (Metro Local rte. #66) practically right in front if you decide to use public transportation as the main mode of travel to the hotel, around Koreatown and L.A. I believe they have parking for guests but I think there’s a daily fee. 3.5/5 stars.

Place was great, modern design, great cafe. Had to pay $27 per day parkin. If you get a room above the karoke bar, they waive it. Would I stay again, yes. The price was reasonable and it was clean!
