"I love the check in options I receive by being a long time standing member with the hotel located in downtown Los Angeles. When arriving to my pod the blankets, sheets and pillows are always perfectly nestled and folded for my slumber. Check in is at 3pm but if you call and ask the staff for early arrival options they may allow you to check in earlier. If your looking for a place to sleep and rest for the night without all the hassle it's the perfect place for that. "
