All name, no substance. The bar is cool, staying at the hotel is not.... read on if you are considering it.
by abz123 at Citysearch
I was staying here for 3 nights on business. I felt like I needed to shower after walking from the elevator to my room. For 2 days there was food thrown all over the hallways that I had to step over to get to my room. That's in addition to the hallway smelling of beer and urine. I informed the reception desk twice about the mess before it was taken care of. The room looked cool, and contemporary if you didn't look too closely. The blanket on the bed smelled, the wallpaper was peeling off the walls and the shower pressure was slightly stronger than a drip. There were no tissues in the bathroom, and one of our lights didn't work. In the middle of the night there were multiple heards of drunk, stoned people yelling in the hallways that woke me up several times. Wake up calls came 20 minutes late, and my credit card was billed incorrectly for the stay. $662 extra incorrectly! When asking the concierge about going out for dinner, she wouldn't accept that we wanted to go to Santa Monica or West Hollywood, and kept insisting that we go to Pasedena, where she's from. When I expressed thats not where we want to go, she claimed to not know any restaurants except for Pasedena. The hotel bar / pool is cool, but listen, you don't have to stay at this dump to go there, infact if it is a pleasent hotel experience you are looking for, I would suggest not staying here. It's all name and very little attention to the customer. I think these reviews are very important to keep businesses honest about their services. I frequent a lot of hotels becuase of my work, and I am in customer service. I was very disspointed in my experience here. I hope the one they are building in New York will have more attention to detail.
- Pros: bar and pool
- Cons: customer service, cleanliness of hotel

Rooftop bar = overrated
by bendarby at Citysearch
Everyone talks about the rooftop bar at the Standard in DTLA. The service is great, but the atmosphere and the drinks are a solid 2.5 stars in my book. The steep parking rate isn't worth it to go spend a few hours at an overplayed downtown bar.
*The wife is reading this over my shoulder and she wanted everyone to know that the "lemondrop was really good"

Make sure to replace the DOTCOM above with what's usually used... Apparently we can't post other reviews on this site! Geez... =\

The illest hotel and rooftop scene in Downtown L.A.
by Mar Yvette at Citysearch
Blame this tower of hipper-than-thou power for igniting the Downtown L.A. revival back in 2001. Since then, this quirky cool sleepover spot has become a de rigeur destination as much for the bedroom action as for the lobby billiards and rooftop bar and pool, which draw a colorful mix of tourists and local scenesters. Rooms--available in sizes ranging from Huge and Gigantic to Humongous and Wow!-each feature a retro-futuristic look: Shiny silver throw pillows, barcode-inspired wall designs, low-lying platform beds, lava lamps ... you get the idea. The rooftop bar and pool is the center of the hotel's late-night action, where faux topiaries, a red astro turf sundeck with waterbed cabanas, slick Formica furniture, staff dressed in red cheerleading uniforms and endless views of the city are just the beginning.

Stunning View
by KelleyBelly at Citysearch
This place is a gem in LA. There are a lot of great bars to go to but none as lovely as this rooftop bar. It's great for a date or a night out with your gal pals. I went here with my bf a lot when we first start dating and just relaxed on the sofas and looked onto the buildings and into the starry night sky. The heat lamps keep you really warm too!
I have also been several times with my posse. Last time we went we met this really great bartender. I think his name was Mike? Anyways, he served us Hello Kitty shots which was SO fun. First of all the the liqueur thats used in them is called Ty Ku and the bottle LIGHTS UP!! It's also mixed with vodka. Went down real easy. It made our night very entertaining lol.
I always meet great people here. If I could, I'd come every weekend.
- Pros: GORGEOUS!
- Cons: Parking

Love It
by larose55 at Citysearch
I feel like I'm on vacation in the middle of the city. You can almost reach out and touch the buildings next to it.

The food was as hot as the service!!
by deliciousdinner at Citysearch
Don?t let the hip vibe of this delicious little yellow restaurant fool you. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. There was not only light healthy fair for my better half , but there was also some really great meaty options for me sink my teeth into. We started our meal with this amped up version of a caprese salad. They don?t use the standard fresh mozzarella. Instead it is served with Italian burrata that our server explained is a combination of fresh mozzarella and cream. It lived up to the servers testimony. My partner ordered the beet salad and the crab cakes. Enjoying both. He did ask for a little more of the grapefruit sauce for the crab cakes. This was brought promptly. I chose the pork chop dinner also at the recommendation of our server. I can?t tell you what a breath of fresh air it is to have a server that knows their menu well and works to please their guests. The pork chop was amazing, tender and should have come with it?s own zip code. We were offered dessert, but went with two French pear martinis instead. This place really hits all the senses and does it very well, and without draining your wallet! We will be returning soon!!!
- Pros: cost
- Cons: I can't live here.

Great Roof-top View
by troywarkentin at Citysearch
You cannot beat the view from the top floor, however your patience may be tested if you go on a weekend and do not get in before a line forms.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Decor
- Cons: Line on the Weekends

The Standard
by liltamby5 at Citysearch
One of my favorite spots in LA. I love the rooftop, especially at night because you're surrounded by all the skyscrapers. Just a beautiful sight to see! Plus, they always have events there, which are usually free!
