The Standard Downtown La

Prós: The minibar was the most complete minibar I've ever seen. They had everything from tic tacs and gum to shaving cream and maps. It was very helpful and even some really nice hotels only have water and one or two snacks. This was really interesting for me. The restaurant food was good, and the room decor was funky and interesting as well.

Contras: The view wasn't the best, but it was fine for one night.

Cool place

Prós: Clean and modern

Contras: Nothing

Celebrated my 40th

Prós: The AHS looking hallways and elevator. Creepy but so kool.

Contras: I didn't like the bel man to check in my 18 pack. Not kool

Prós: The Standard is in a great area of Downtown Los Angeles. It is in proximity to a lot of great places. We chose to go there because of the rooftop bar they have at the hotel- you get to skip the line if you're staying there. The room was modern and simple but it had really nice amenities and an awesome bathtub with an interesting shower. Breakfast at the restaurant is really good and they sell a lot of cool, quirky stuff at the gift shop. A Los Angeles must for a younger group.

Contras: Our room was on the third floor and overlooking downtown and the valet area. Since there is a restaurant downstairs, they play loud music and it was bumping until 2am. You come to expect this at such a trendy hotel, but they also give you earplugs in the room. I think it just adds to the vibe of the hotel but some people may not appreciate it.

Playful, artful, and accommodating

Prós: I love the style at the Standard. It has character without sacrificing quality, and the food at the restaurant is superb.

Contras: Not much negative to say. Water collected in the soap dish. Uhhhh....?

Staying there again

Prós: We loved the pillows and bed so much! The see through shower was really cool. We loved how modern the style was.we

Contras: We didn't like how the mini bar menu did specify every alcoholic drink. It stated the red bull cost $5 but got billed $13.. So watch for that.
