Metro Plaza Hotel

The room was very spacious, though a bit dated. The bathroom door was quite noisy when opening and closing, which was noticeable. The room had air conditioning with both heating and cooling, but the unit itself was very loud when running. The hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from Union Station and situated in Chinatown, making transportation very convenient. I occasionally saw homeless individuals, but not many, and I felt quite safe overall. Service-wise, the hotel offered free coffee and a water dispenser, which was a huge plus, especially in Los Angeles where even a bottle of water can cost $2.

Our two nights in Los Angeles, to be honest, were the most expensive and worst hotel stay of our entire trip. On the second night, we were kept up for a good hour or two by the rather… lively sounds from the couple next door. The hotel is quite close to Union Station, which made taking the subway to Hollywood Boulevard pretty convenient. However, the facilities are really old, and the soundproofing is just terrible. On the bright side, there was an old man who would greet us very warmly every day when we returned to the hotel. Now that I think about it, maybe he was expecting a tip? Anyway, I just politely responded and quickly moved on. And the Los Angeles police sirens are a unique soundtrack in themselves, zipping by almost every ten to fifteen minutes.

The room was very spacious, but the facilities were extremely old. The doors, carpets, and bed frame were all in an antiquated red color, and the hallway felt a bit eerie. The bathroom only had soap, no shower gel, and the water pressure was very low. However, the air conditioning worked perfectly. The biggest advantage of this hotel is its proximity to Union Station, just a ten-minute walk away. It's incredibly convenient for anyone needing a quick overnight stay, especially those catching an early long-distance bus the next morning. This hotel clearly knows its niche: an excellent location. That's why, despite the quality, the room rates aren't low. On a side note, I highly recommend Philibbe French Sandwiches, a restaurant near the hotel.

The room was spacious and clean. Given the area, I was a bit concerned about safety, so it's best to avoid walking around at night. During the day, it was perfectly fine. I'm very satisfied.

The room was clean but a bit dated. The staff spoke Chinese and were quite friendly. The location is excellent, right near Chinatown and very close to Union Station.

The hotel is conveniently located 500 meters from the subway station and 50 meters from the bus stop. Many attractions, like Olvera Street and Little Tokyo, are within walking distance, making sightseeing a breeze. The lobby on the ground floor offers complimentary brewed coffee, tea bags, and hot water 24/7, though milk is not provided. They allowed us to check in over an hour early, and no deposit or credit card was required. The room was spacious and generally clean. The amenities are basic: there's a fridge, but no microwave, coffee maker, or complimentary coffee sachets. The free Wi-Fi worked well.

## Cleanliness The room was cleaned and tidy. However, it's a bit old, which might bother some people. ## Location It's about a 10-minute walk from Union Station, which is convenient when coming from the airport. However, it's advisable to be careful when walking around at night. ## Service There was complimentary tea at the front desk. There was also a water dispenser near the guest room elevators. ## Facilities & Amenities Shampoo was provided. The room had a hairdryer, TV, refrigerator, and a safe. There was also an ATM at the front desk. Parking is available.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a five-minute walk from Union Station, which is also conveniently close to where my Western tour group disbanded. All metro lines are accessible from Union Station. The cleanliness was impressive, although the decor felt a bit dated. However, it had everything I needed, and overall, I was quite satisfied. The room was spacious enough.
