32 hours Part Three: The Historic Mayfair

This entry is one of many detailing what occurred in a few short hours.  Get your popcorn ready. 

This trip was not planned with plenty of time or money.  Everything we did was on a tight budget, including the hotel reservation. The criteria was as follows:  Near the location of the ceremony and reasonably priced.  Several hotels popped up during the internet search, most of which were more than what could be spent.  The guest reviews of The Historic Mayfair were a mixed bag, we decided to give it a try.  http://www.mayfairla.com/

Pros
  1. Located downtown
  2. Beautiful Lobby, especially the mirror upon entrance
  3. Garage parking with easy access to entrance
  4. Great nighttime view of LA
  5. Friendly staff, especially the concierge
  6. Bus stop nearby 
  7. About 2 miles from Koreatown
Cons
  1. Immediately west of the hotel the neighborhood was a little sketch.
  2. Fuzzy eyesight came in handy inside the room, the room we stayed in looked nothing like the photos posted on the website.
  3. Rickety elevator that smelled like armpits and marijuana
  4. Limited outlets
  5. Ironing board and iron were literally falling apart
  6. Upon our departure we were given wrong directions to the freeway 
  7.  It took an act of congress to leave the parking garage
  8. Several computers in the lobby for guest use, but only one worked
  9. We're pretty sure it's haunted by the ghost of Raymond Chandler.
