The Mayfair Hotel Los Angeles

It was as close to our destination as we could get at the time we booked, and also in downtown LA. It looks very stylish in the lobby.

I found a few roachlike bugs in the room throughout our stay. I voiced my concern the staff, who said she would tell her manager and call back if we could indeed switch rooms (or receive a breakfast voucher instead if that was not possible), but the call was never received. The walls are thin, so we could hear the man in the shower singing next door, who was later confronted by the police over some vehicular activity. The room was cramped. My friend arrived first before we checked in, and was treated rudely by staff as she waited for me to arrive. When storing our luggage after checkout (we were attending an event for a few hours and needed a place to put our bags), the front desk staff made a mistake and only tagged my friend’s items. When we came to collect our stuff from their storage, she could collect her stuff. I had to convince the attendant that my luggage was mine, after a long, exhausting day. Ultimately, we had a fair place to get dressed and store our stuff, and that’s it. Turns out that this hotel was on an unofficial blacklist in our hobby’s community. Missed the memo.

Not a family hotel. It’s in a dive-part of town. The website pics are misleading, terribly so!! I will report as many poor references as possible on social media as I can. This is. Or a place for a family. No where to eat, loud music upon check in. What a disappointment.

The hotel - not as nice as the website pics. Terrible disappointment. The location - this part of town I would never choose for my family.
