The Line Hotel

“my favorite hotel and valet experience in LA today”

Such an amazing experience! They gave us the best dinner recommendation as well as assisted with my birthday celebration! Amazing rooms and the best LA staycation! The valet was especially quick, extremely professional, and so kind! Thank you to the valet and front desk!

“A hipster hotel I actually really liked.”

I am not a fan of hip, boutique hotels. I like bigger, more traditional operations that offer lots of the usual array of hotel services. Hip hotels with DJ’s in the lobby, podcast booths and legions of gen z’ers hanging out in the lobby are not appealing to me. But this hotel was well-located an… more

I am not a fan of hip, boutique hotels. I like bigger, more traditional operations that offer lots of the usual array of hotel services. Hip hotels with DJ’s in the lobby, podcast booths and legions of gen z’ers hanging out in the lobby are not appealing to me. But this hotel was well-located and well-priced and I like The Line in DC, so I figured why not give it a try. The interiors are very modern with heavy (brutalist) concrete hallways and ceilings and an eclectic collection of carpeting. draperies, etc. The rooms are fairly minimalist and small, but the bed and bed linens were very comfortable and the space was manageable. I had a large floor to ceiling window with a distant view of the “Hollywood” sign. I didn’t hear a peep of hipness or partying while in my room. I actually enjoyed a very good cup of coffee in the lobby surrounded by vloggers, bloggers and podcasters….but I was okay. Enjoyed walking around Koreatown quite a bit. It’s a tad gritty, but there’s lots of authentic restaurants and shops. Best thing about this hotel was that it featured the first or second best shower i’ve ever enjoyed. The water pressure was beyond anything I’ve ever enjoyed in any US hotel and there was plenty of hot water to boot. The shower curtain instead of glass was the only disappointment. I would be happy to stay at this property the next time I am in LA.

“The Line Hotel isn’t built for average height folks.”

We found the hotel in need of some upgrades, particularly the carpets in the hallways. Also, the bathroom the sinks are soooo lowwww. My husband is 6’6” and I’m 5’5” and we both found the bathrooms to be very uncomfortable with mediocre lighting. I also don’t think the $35 per night amenities fe… more

My husband is 6’6” and I’m 5’5” and we both found the bathrooms to be very uncomfortable with mediocre lighting. I also don’t think the $35 per night amenities fee is worth it at all. There’s a pool but the cold weather didn’t permit use of it and the gym is very average. We found the front desk staff to be efficient but unfriendly.

“It used to be cool”

I live local and have generally recommended The Line to out of town friends based on my experiences at the pool and restaurant (both great). This was my first time staying. I am embarrassed I’ve been recommending this place. My partner and I stayed in a king suite for a few days, and the whole roo… more

I live local and have generally recommended The Line to out of town friends based on my experiences at the pool and restaurant (both great). This was my first time staying. I am embarrassed I’ve been recommending this place. My partner and I stayed in a king suite for a few days, and the whole room felt tired and like it had seen a lot of wear. There were rips in the bedding. The desk was stained and the wood veneer peeling off in huge chunks. The sink didn’t drain (ew). The shower struggled to get warm. And the AC just fully did not work. Also, there was no trashcan in the bathroom (I was told the large (obvious wash bucket) was meant to be the trash…but throwing used tampons and things in an unlined tub was really NOT the solution I was hoping for and left me feeling like the whole place was kinda lacking in hygiene)?? Any of these things alone would have been no big deal. But, all of them together was just…kind of a lot. What a bummer. Not sure what’s happening here.
