Gayot "A new era of revitalization for downtown L.A. took off running with the opening of the downtown Standard hotel."
BlackBook "Former oil company HQ. Rooms come in 10 sizes with hot stereos, giant TVs and some with transparent showers, so bring a conservative Christian friend and start snapping pics."
