Metropolitan Inn & Suites — Hotel in Los Angeles

I stayed here for 5 days in July 2020 (during the COVID pandemic). Initially, I was a bit worried when my Uber arrived at the hotel because the surrounding neighborhood is a bit more run down than I expected. However, I quickly came to appreciate the atmosphere at the hotel and the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is very near (or possibly in) Korean Town and just a couple miles from downtown. I used the electric scooters that are all over to get downtown every day. Using these scooters you can get downtown or to USC in 10 minutes. You can access these using the Lime app (these can also be reserved using the Uber or Lyft app). Street parking in front of the hotel is extremely limited and appears to be metered, but I didn't drive so this wasn't a problem.

The rooms were definitely not a luxury hotel by any means, but they were so much nicer than I expected based on the location or the rate. It is very clear that the management of the hotel takes great pride in keeping it nice.

The WiFi requires a password and requires you to accept the terms which sometimes didn't work very well, but I found that if the screen doesn't pop up to accept the terms of use, you can just type 1.1.1.1 into the browser window and it pops up.

The TV didn't work, but I also didn't ask about it because I don't watch TV.

In front of the hotel is a nice patio which is a comfortable place to sit while out of the room.

Overall, this was a great value and a wonderful place to stay, especially considering how inexpensive it was. If you are looking for a luxury hotel with a lot of amenities, this is not it. If you are seeking a safe, clean place to sleep that is close to downtown, this is by far your best and most...

Stayed here from Friday May 13th through Monday May 16th for a concert. There's a sign at front desk saying to not ring the front desk bell between 4AM-9AM so note to any travelers coming in early. We arrived at 9:30AM! Still too early to check in and we didn't want to pay a fee so we left our bags (they had a secure closet with a keypad to leave luggage). My friend and I went exploring around the city until check in at 2PM. Parking was $40 a night for Friday and Saturday. Only about 6 parking spots. The elevator is tiny, maybe can fit about 4 people if you squeeze, 3 if you have luggage, and 2 if you use the luggage cart. Complimentary coffee in the small lobby. The room itself was very nice and very spacious for what I've seen in L.A.! It was nicely updated and looked just like the renovation pictures-- very clean. They cleaned our room every single day we were there without us having to ask-- stocked our towels, made our beds, etc. The A/C was amazing and strong and got very cold at night just like we wanted, hot water when you needed it, nice water pressure. A fridge, microwave, TV, nice dimmable lights. I guess the only downside is yes, the walls are thin so you can hear the person coughing in the next room. Otherwise, that's it. A bang for your buck considering the Ramada was across the street for double the price. The lobby was also locked at night so you'll need a room key to get in which helped us feel more secure in the area. Both the guy and girl receptionists that we encountered were very nice and courteous. I'd definitely stay...

Will never give my hard earned money to this place again. I get in from a long days work to find the powers out, no hot water. Missed an important zoom call I had to take for work because my phone was dead and I couldn’t charge because NO POWER no hot water and a steaming hot room with no AC. It was off from 8 pm until 5 am I know this because the ac turning on woke me up and I checked my time. I go down later at 9 when they have someone working the desk to see if I could get comped another night for the horrible experience I had the night before I figured that would be FAIR. I didn’t want money back or nothing just comped another night for the trouble. And the oldest employee which I think was the owner snapped at me “

no you get nothing call the city the whole city had no power! Hurry up and check out”

Mind you when the “whole city “power was out. The Ramada across the street has power the other hotel on the corner had power it was all a lie and I knew it but he was very rude and didn’t care about his guests at all. Just a heads up people. The place is nice but the oldest worker is very rude and doesn’t care what goes on in that place.

Very sad that happened because I’ve been there5 other times in the past 2 months and never had a problem. But now I can’t spend my money there after being...
