When I pulled into the hotel to Valet my car, I waited for 5 minutes for the valet to come over to my vehicle. When I finally exited the car to approach him, he was chatting with another hotel staff member about a sport event. When I went to interrupt I was told to hold on a minute. I took... more

What’s good about the Standard? The design and style are world class – it’s a cool mix of the ultra-modern with 1950s office block retro, the rooms are minimal and comfy (and quiet when we stayed), and the rooftop bar is worth a visit alone. Plus, the price is pretty good for a boutique hotel. The roof bar and pool... more

A complete disappointment. If you are under 30 and use drugs, this place is for you. An upscale dorm room for sure. The front desk has NO sense of urgency or care. The front desk often had NO ONE behind it. I was there during the earthquake and the service and security was a joke. When asking if one should... more

I booked two rooms for 2 nights for my friends Birthday party. The rooms and pool were wonderful. I loved the decore of the whole place. However our experience was ruined by the DJ Saturday night. Not only was the music dull and hard to dance to but most of the night no one was on the dance floor. When... more

Tired, tired, tired. Rooms desperately need to be refurbished.: get rid of Ozzie Nelson's tv, add at least one comfortable chair. Bathroom is completely nonfunctional (I don't need to see my companion sit on the john). The Rooftop Bar Crowd is decidedly "c" list, front desk unfriendly and sloppy. All this topped off with a generous serving of 'tude from... more

I have been to the Standard downtown LA at least 5 times and I have never been disappointed. The staff is always amazing. They are friendly and helpful. I have brought many different friends here and you don't have to travel far to have a good time. The rooftop bar is a great place and is always a scene. It's... more

Booked this on reputation and the deal too (free upgrade). The room was nice, but my overall feeling about the standard is that it tries too hard and forgets that its a hotel not a personal fashion statement of its customers. Little touch's around the place say "i'm a cool hotel", like the phone, the room numbers etc but then... more

I stayed at the Standard for three months on business and can therefore say that I have experienced everything the Standard has to offer, can't be bothered to offer, or offers begrudgingly. The front desk looks for ways to be unhelpful, housekeeping is at best incompetent and apathetic, the room service staff is polite but annoying, the parking attendants are... more

The rooftop bar is my favorite place to party in LA. I've been there quite a few times and I finally got to stay at the hotel last weekend. When I was on their website booking the room, I found a free upgrade deal at [--] and got to stay in a really nice room for the weekend. more
