The new owner purchased the property in 2020. He mentioned that the HBO series The Gilded Age shot some scenes in the hotel. If you stroll through the building, you'll understand why. The Stockade Inn is a critical part of the historic district and has been renovated esthetically. If you stay here, realize it is not perfect like a luxury hotel chain. There was a light out in the bathroom, a portable air conditioner with a 6" duct blowing heat out the lower portion of an original single pane window, and an exposed live electrical connector because of a broken outlet device. The plug strip pulled out of the socket when I unplugged from it, and the breaker tripped when I tried to plug the strip back into the broken side of the socket. But I'm a member of the Los Angeles Conservancy and don't regret supporting the ongoing effort by the owner and the community to preserve and restore this building. The thing that makes up for the rough edges is the friendly service by the staff. They have an old elevator, and the masseuse saw me struggling with an oversized piece of luggage and helped me operate the very small but functional old lift. Staff had carried our luggage up to the top floor when we arrived. There's a very nice new coffee shop and great free parking in the back of the hotel as well as wheelchair access.
