We stayed at the end of March for 3 days. The location was very convenient and felt safe. It's 10 min to Santa Monica beach, half an hour to Hollywood attractions and Universal Studios. Trader Joe's is next door if you want to buy some fruit, bottled water etc. The room was spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable (apart form some lumpy pillows). All necessities provided, such as fridge, microwave, coffee maker, iron, hair dryer, toiletries, even make-up remover wipes (much appreciated). Continental breakfast was convenient and sufficient (bagels, toast, cereal, pancake maker, fruits, boiled eggs, yogurt, cream cheese, jam, butter, coffee and tea). We were very much pleased with our stay. It is no luxury hotel, but a solid base camp for exploring your LA destinations. One word of caution: there is no elevator, ask for a ground level room if climbing stairs is an issue.
