E-Central Downtown Los Angeles Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here for a concert at the crypto arena and was very happy with the choice. The hotel was very nice and clean and the staff were all very friendly. Only thing was that the restaurant was closed in the evenings during our stay, which we were pretty bummed about as we had wanted to eat there. Overall we had a very nice time and the location really can’t be beat! "
