Katie’s 4-star review: I've never stayed at The Standard, but I used to frequent the rooftop on many a drinking/dancing occasion in my 20s. It was always a blast...the music was on point, the crowd was a good mix of professionals staying at the hotel, creative types out on the town looking for a good time, and tourists, and the drinks, well, they sure did flow and weren't insanely overpriced, as one might expect. I only ever came with a lady posse, so getting in was rarely an issue unless there was a special event. I've been back a few times in my 30s and it has remained consistent in all of the above (minus the music last time, but luckily my gals and I were more interested in catching up than cutting a rug). It's one of the best views in DTLA and those tear drop water bed lounge-y things always cause a chuckle fest if they're free to bounce around in. -
Katie’s 4-star review: Nothing can stop me, I'm all the way Up(stairs)! I have never had an issue getting upstairs, but that's mostly because my trips have been on a weekday night or a weekend day. So, if you're going on a Fri/Sat night, just go early and then you'll avoid the dance with the doorman that always ends with someone missing a step. You don't have to be a hotel guest to take advantage of the rooftop, that goes for bar and pool! While the pool is more like a Turkish bath than an Olympic-size piscine, it's something! Lounge beds are limited and to be fair, the view isn't the greatest, but, it's free and there's always great tunes (sometimes, most times, even a DJ). The other side is more shaded and offers more seating, sans sunbathing. I've never had a shitty interaction with any of the staff and I love that they offer a different flavor frozen daiquiri drink daily (or weekly or when the flavor runs out). Drinks aren't terribly pricy for it being a hotel and a rooftop, but it's still those things, so know that before you start ordering a round for the bar. They've got a few snacks, too, if you get a little peckish! -
