Shelter Hotels Los Angeles

I am frequent travelers and I made it sure that I will be staying if I am in Los Angeles area especially in ktown. The hotel location is in the middle of ktown, close to all restuarants, grocery and few minutes away by metro train to DTLA. Located in the safest area in LA and the property itself has security by itself that you cannot by pass. Room and wide and clean, the front desk every time I check in area nice people. I will highly recommend to all travelers if they come to LA, try considering Shelter Hotel for your unique experience.

I stayed at Shelter because I saw it was rated highly for people traveling alone. I had an excellent stay there and will be recommending it to all my friends. My goal was to visit as many museums as possible during a 4 day stay. From Shelter you can take the bus down Wilshire to: LaBrea Tar Pits LACMA The Academy of Motion Pictures Peterson Automotive (I did not get to this one but would visit next time!) You can take the Metro to: The Broad MOCA (did not visit this one but next time!) You are close to three fabulous breakfast spots: Open Market, Egg Tuck and Donut King The Hotel was so clean! And very quiet and I had the pool to myself in the afternoon. Koreatown was a great choice - I felt safe and the staff was very nice! I also had two Uber drivers and one bartender who lived in K-Town so that tells me it is a good neighborhood.

I was surprised and disappointed by the $20/night “resort fee” and $30/night for parking. The daytime desk manager was helpful/courteous, but the night manager refused to let us into the garage because he “thought we weren’t paying” — insane behavior. The rooms are fine, nothing special, and if it weren’t for the hidden fees they’d be priced fairly. The neighborhood has better options at the cost I ultimately paid.
