Found it to be awful
The Found Hotel is not the boutique hotel experience that you’re hoping for. Rooms are tired with rug stains and an AC that squeaks. Roach greeted us for coffee in the AM. I would not recommend finding yourself at the Found Hotel.
The staff was very polite and and easy to communicate with. The rooms were nice and clean just as displayed in the pictures. It was overall a great experience!
Everyone who assisted us there were super kind that made us feel like home, yes it’s slightly outdated but it worked for my daughter because she thought we lived in a castle. Will definitely come back
Staff does not speak a lot of English. And all rooms on Santa Monica Blvd are super noisy. We asked to change rooms and the second one was way quieter!

Disliked: Amenities
Leslie was outstanding finding me a room.
California welcomed me with a huge smile and was eager to help.
$22 for parking is outrageous as you damage your car driving in and out plus no security.
The rooms are very noisy due to paper thin walls.
Stan and Steve are very good at double talking. Never an honest answer.
Go somewhere else to be comfortable.
Service is amazing but room is poorly taken care of. Wall paper was peeling off in corners, AC was too loud to play over night, the walls were thin and the outside traffic noise was insane.
