7 / 10Good·Jul 2026
Location is decent and I like the setup. The Pods were actually nice, and well designed. The Staff was very responsive and I like the late check-in and late check-out procedures.
I didn’t like the lack of privacy/ no curtains rule for the pods. They treat the pods more like bunk beds and they don’t even want you to improvise a curtain. There’s No air conditioning. It’s too dark at night during quiet hours, and there’s not enough ambient lighting or night lights to make navigating to the bathroom easier. The Bathroom and shower stalls are too cramped, this makes changing clothes difficult. There is no point to having monitors in the pods, because there’s no power supply to even connect them to. I would not recommend this place to people with mobility issues. It’s walkable to little Tokyo and Dtla, but there’s no convenience stores or gas stations nearby, so if you want something late and close by you’re gonna be outta luck. Most of Dtla (including LT and the Arts district) is a no go past midnight, and the closest 24hour thing that is open is a 7-11 ten minutes away, that just might happen to be closed for cleaning right when you need something.

Good location and great price. Easy to get into. Lot of plugs for recharging. I ended up taking an Uber to Union Station, but you could walk 10-15 mins or take a bus later in the day. Very close to Japan town. The bed is big enough for two people, if you aren't staying too long. Each pod is 12 or so beds, so it's a reasonable amount of people. There is a small kitchen area for reheating food and people leave some food to share community style (e.g., cereal, rice, etc.)
Simple curtains would be a big improvement. There was a guy listening to videos without headphones - after an hour I asked him if had headphones and he was apologetic. I checked in late and there were no towels visible. Turned out to be a mistake that the attendant should have left a set on my bed, but there wasn't anyone to contact after midnight. The mirror to put on makeup is over the sink, so it can feel rushed. But they had a good hair dryer and other small amenities available.

The location and the layout.
The tv’s , but that wasn’t a major issue for me though.

I liked the price and the shared living environment. I liked the front desk worker. They were very accommodating.
Starting with the first day in the shared living room, I saw a mouse run to the back storage area. I also noticed a musty smell on the bed. Even with my sensitive nose, when I removed the pillowcase, I saw the pillow was yellowed. Additionally, I didn't like that on my last night there, the shower grate was missing for some reason. I didn't shower because I was too scared.
