Great stay. Very modern and aesthetics are amazing. There’s a brand new restaurant that’s connected to it and it has such good vibes and a great chic look.

Check in was quick and easy and very nice staff. Lovely big and accessible, clean room. Bed was comfy and AC was good. Blackout blinds were great. The lockers for storing luggage after checkout are really useful and large. Would stay here again and definitely recommend to others!

I stayed in 5 different hotels in the span of 2 weeks and Found was by far the best. Easy parking and lots of places to eat close by.

The hotel was not clean. Carpets could have been easily washed. The room had a very strong mold smell, which is hazardous to your health. We are not sure whether it was from the AC or the bathroom walls. When mentioned to hotel staff, they said good luck with your next hotel. Very dismissive staff. Definitely do not recommend.

Hotel and room were very clean and serviced well every day. We were here for UCLA graduation and the location was very close to everything- campus, foods, etc. Perfect place!

Other than finding an adult cockroach crawling on the floor up on entry, we found the android TV to be more than a challenge with no positive results.

It's located conveniently close to bus stops, with 7-11 and ralphs market nearby. So quite easy to travel to the beach or UCLA/Hollywoods area.
The room is clean and tidy, nothing to complain about and at a quite reasonable price.

Found Hotel (More like Lost n Found)
This actual Hotel resembles the pictures..So cudos to the photographer. Parking was a challenge and wasn’t expecting to have to pay an addl $30 to park in their less than desirable underground lot, of which you had to cart your luggage up a flight of stairs and walk thru an alleyway to enter the front.. Didn’t feel safe and difficult.
While the room was somewhat clean, all the patch up work, water dripping down wall from A/C, was a bit disconcerting. Just wasn’t put together well. I would definitely NOT recommend this hotel.
