7.6Verified guest“Good rooms with bathroom and a great shower. Fantastic location in the smoking area. Also very close to Hollywood and Universal Studios, shops, tourist attractions, and Los Angeles.”
7.6Verified guest“The cheapest place to stay in downtown with free parking.”
7.6Verified guest“The place is fairly clean, with a particularly good location near the Metro station at MacArthur Park, several good restaurants, Universal Studios, and a nearby supermarket.”
7.6Verified guest“Casa Bella Inn was a really pleasant surprise. I was a bit nervous about staying in downtown LA, but it was nice and I felt safe. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The owner is always looking for improvements and cares about all guests. We had a king room and it was very spacious and comfortable for two young adults. Clean too; no issues. Within walking distance of LA Live and the Staples Center, ten minutes from Dodger Stadium, fifteen from Hollywood, and twenty from Venice Beach. Also a free breakfast in the lobby each morning—coffee, donuts, and fruit, better than nothing. I recommend it.”
7.6Verified guest“The Asian gentleman at the front desk shared stories of his journey to America while I had a cigarette. He was very polite and tactful. Deserves a raise.”
7.6Verified guest“Staff were very friendly and flexible. He tried to accommodate my request for a quiet, off-street room.”
