I spent a weekend here -- first time in downtown L.A. -- for a business conference and frankly wish, in hindsight, that I'd booked elsewhere. It's certainly a popular place and was sold out for our weekend but the room was beyond depressing (I rarely do this but asked to move) and so was moved to the only other room... more

Enjoyed my stay at the L.A. Athletic Club . The room was more than adequate: terry robes, refrigerator, nice bathroom with shampoos, razor etc. The building itself is grand !
