Very loud, unable to sleep
The room was small and the wall was so thin. We could hear other people using bathroom or having conversations from other rooms. Also, music from the rooftop bar was very loud and it was hard to sleep.

Comfortable and clean with a perfect location
We really loved staying at this hotel and I would stay there again if I come back to LA. The location was perfect, with a subway station just an 11 minutes walk away. It is a big city, but I felt safe. The staff was super nice, including the ones at the breakfast restaurant (which was super tasty). The room and bathroom was clean and the bed and pillow were amazingly comfortable. There are a rooftop restaurant/bar and you can hear some far away music, but for us it was not an issue at all.

Five memorable nights at Mama's place
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed were just wonderful. We did not eat at the hotel. We did spend some time at the upstairs nightclub which was vibrant and welcoming as well.

The staff at Mama Shelter was amazing! The rooftop was the key highlight. Overall I think that it was pricy, but I suppose that the location justified the price. I would stay at Mama Shelter again

Think of this as an elevated youth hostel. The rooms have an eclectic, Hollywood inspired decor. The property though is showing signs of wear, with the slowest lift known to man, and some dingy corridors.
Housecleaning forgot to clean the rooms; the service is passable at best (though to the credit of the property they did follow up very quickly when notified of shortfalls).
The destination fee is a joke and needs to be removed.
If you’re looking for a functional “base”, it does offer good value for the area.
