"Very nice hostle. I have not stayed in many hostels in the States but this was one of if not the nicest.The location is a bit out of the way, and way far from where I came from (another hotel in LA); but found the local restaurants interesting enough. Coffee in the morning would have been a nice touch. Getting buzzed in to wait in the yard 1/2 an hour before ckin rather than outside on the sidewalk with bags might have been appreciated as well. Otherwise, nice place, nice stay :). Oh - and one...

"The Haas was a wonderful location in the midst of downtown LA. It's in the heart of many districts, such as the fashion and jewelry districts and it is conveniently located close to all of the sights and experiences one can have in LA.

"I liked the accessibility to the beach, restaurants and boardwalks. The rooftop view was great! The staff was very friendly! They were prompt to get maintenance when I asked why we didn’t have heat in the room for the first 2 nights and I had 3 cold showers and decided to go to the office about it. The boiler system needs work, for sure. The bathroom sink was slow to drain and there were no towel bars. The elevator was cool! Loved it! I would have loved closer parking, but we managed it. ...
