    AMAZING rooftop pool and restaurant! I really enjoyed lounging and relaxing while eating delicious steak tacos from the restaurant. The rooms are pretty spacious and the lobby is artsy and gorgeous. The hotel is a walking distance to tons of spots...

    Hotel staff was accommodating, the energy at the hotel is refreshing with live music and a younger crowd. There's bars around the area to pop into and a short trip away from Ktown and Little Tokyo.
