The Metric - Los Angeles Downtown
A practical three-star base in downtown Los Angeles
About this hotel
The Metric - Los Angeles Downtown keeps things simple and dependable in the heart of the city centre, with clean, comfortable rooms that bring air conditioning, a private bathroom, a work desk, a refrigerator and a TV as standard. Free WiFi runs throughout the property, and a lift, an electric vehicle charging station, express check-in and check-out, and luggage storage cover the practical side of a stay without fuss. A fresh pastries breakfast is served daily, and streaming services, a hairdryer and free toiletries round out the room amenities. Paid on-site private parking is available for guests who drive. The location does the heavy lifting here: an eighteen-minute walk from the Walt Disney Concert Hall, with California Plaza and the Microsoft Theater both within a couple of kilometers, and boating available in the surrounding area. It suits travelers who want a straightforward, well-located downtown base without paying for extras they will not use.

Our take
The Metric - Los Angeles Downtown suits travelers who want a straightforward, well-located downtown base rather than a design-forward or luxury stay. A work desk, refrigerator and TV in every room, free WiFi, express check-in, an electric vehicle charging station and daily fresh pastries keep it practical. I would look elsewhere for a rooftop, since the appeal is simplicity and position. An 8.9 rating across 1,108 reviews backs it up.
- ✓Use the express check-in and check-out if you are on a tight schedule, since it noticeably speeds up arrival and departure.
- ✓Walk to the Walt Disney Concert Hall in around eighteen minutes rather than driving, since downtown parking can be limited.
- ✓Charge your electric vehicle on site if you are driving, since the charging station saves a separate stop elsewhere downtown.
Why we love it

Why guests love itDriving an electric car up the coast, a freelance designer stopped at The Metric - Los Angeles Downtown for two nights because she could charge on site. She worked at the desk in the mornings with a fresh pastry, then walked to the Walt Disney Concert Hall for an evening performance. Express check-out got her on the road early. There is no rooftop or pool, so the skyline views of downtown happen out on foot.
