2 reviews for Shelter Hotels
Hello K-town!
Finally an affordable alternative to the Standard downtown or one of the many boring Hilton chains. Shelter hotel offers a chic boutique experience at around $100 a night. Add to that free parking, complimentary wifi and a quick walk to the metro line, it has real L.A. gem potential. When I stayed at Shelter it had been open for only one month so pool and rooftop were still incomplete. What it lacked in completion it made up for in friendly service, convenience and quirkiness.
Also researched the company behind Shelter and was really impressed by their design approach and business philosophy.
Very happy with my find.
It's a little unexpected to find this hotel in this neighborhood, but that's not a bad thing in my opinion. It is just a few blocks from the Metro, which is a rarity in LA, allowing easy access to, say, downtown activities at Staples Center, or Hollywood/Vine shopping and star-gazing.
The furniture is minimal-style, but tasteful, and though it was clear the entire place had been redone/renovated from its former self as a Days Inn, I too appreciated the quirkiness of it. The price was right, and the service was fine too.
I especially liked the iPod docking clock-stereo as a nice touch for some in-your-room partying. Complimentary wifi, though a no-brainer amenity, is all too rare in today's hotels, and was very welcome for me during my stay at the Shelter.
