Such a nice lowkey place! Check in was so easy, and the staff was beyond welcoming. A little hesitant cause of the area but it was very safe would definitely book again.

This place is GREAT!

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in quite a while. The staff was amazing, very helpful. The rooms were clean. The hotel appears to be new. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if I’m ever in the area again, I would definitely stay here without a doubt.

Peaceful place right in downtown LA.

I recently stayed at The Metric Hotel in Los Angeles and had an excellent experience overall. The hotel is very modern, stylish, and exceptionally clean. The rooms are thoughtfully designed and comfortable, and the entire place has a fresh, contemporary feel. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more pleasant. One thing to note is that all communication is handled via email—there’s no way to call the front desk directly. While everything went smoothly, this might be something to consider depending on your preferences. Despite that, I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend The Metric for anyone looking for a clean, modern, and comfortable place to stay in LA!

We had a great experience staying at the Metric! The hotel was modern, clean, and comfortable. Virtual checkin was great, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The location is central to many things like crypto stadium, USC, and lots of great food. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great spot at a good price

Very easy pre-registration and check-in procedures. Clean, simple room. No closet but there are hangers and ways to hang up clothes throughout the room. Water was hot and pressure was good (and we were the far end of the top floor). Wifi was a bit spotty. The morning muffins were fantastic. Everything was very clean. Neighborhood has a school right across the street and some Mexican restaurants, liquor stores, 7-11 within 2 blocks. Would definitely stay here again.

it was a great stay, the hotel and its rooms are very modern and they make everything so easy with their online check-in and check-out. it's located in downtown LA, but there's no much around which was ok since the area doesn't feel unsafe or sketchy. personnel was friendly and helpful and we really liked the amenities available for guests at the lobby.
