Take some company with you you will enjoy it more

Great place to work. They hire people that are so friendly and helpful. Jadan (not sure if that's how her name is spelled) is the absolute best. She's quick and on her game always.

The skyscraper in DTLA, U.S. Bank Tower, was first known as the Library Tower, because it was built as part of the Los Angeles Central Library redevelopment area. Then it was sold to OUE, which acquired the 72-floor office building, the adjacent Maguire Gardens park, and a parking lot. It is currently the second-tallest building in LA, after being surpassed by the Wilshire Grand Center, which claimed based on a spire that gives it an 82-foot advantage.

It was the tallest, now with newly built Wilshire Grand Centers surpassed it. But, still you can't be the views & that slide that makes you feel like you sliding from heaven :) Previous Review: Tallest building west of the Mississippi! Lots of history that I can't even begin...but read the past reviews, one (which I forgot who, but he/she was extremely thorough & detailed!!!) I haven't had a chance to go all the way inside, as far as upstairs and all...just yet, but I will continue to add to the review when I do. What I'm reviewing is the outside experience I've had...since I started working out here, years ago - the stairs that go all the way to the top of Hope Place and the phenomenal views. Enough said. I am sad that McCommick & Schmicks is no more, but I hear another restaurant is on it's way and of course the newly added tourist attraction of Skyspace. I can't wait to go up to the observation deck. I've gone inside to the lobby where there are huge screens that are so distracting, but in a good way and fun. Who says that??? Oh I did...Lol. It's just a great huge building in the city of downtown and if you haven't been to it, you must visit it for sure. Again...enough said. Don't forget to check out the bars inside (up high, I forget what floor) I hear its so cool. And that little glass slide that's made news lately. Lots of famous people go in and out as well.

This is quite an interesting building to visit. Unfortunately it is not free to get in. The sky space has an admission fee and the restaurant requires a reservation. I think the bar might be open without a reservation. Anyways the building is very well guarded which means you won't get lost in it. The views are spectacular at the top, either at the viewing deck or the restaurant. The ground floor lobby, sky space and the restaurant are also spectacular spaces to see. At a minimum pay $25 and visit the sky space.

Came here for the slide that is located on the 70th floor. Located in the heart of downtown LA so you know the situation parking is tough unless you wanna pay 10 to 20 bucks in the designated lots around downtown. Once going in you'll have to go through the security and metal detectors. Staff and security are nice and will guide you to where you need to. Inside on the first floor you got a coffee store and gift shop. Very nice and decorated inside and very well kept. For living in LA all my life it's an experience for sure to see these buildings.

How you ever been to the sky slide?? Well this is the only place in California that has the sky slide that just opened this year. It's a glass slide that goes off the edge of the building. It's not a big slide where it does into the building and out. It's just a small short slide on the side of the building. It cost over $19 for the sky slide but it's gonna be worth it once you slide you can see the city from underneath you. It's really fun and they have a nice view. It's 70 floors up not as high as sears tower but it's close. They have some nice screening effects on your way up to the tower. It's pretty interesting to me cuz it's something I never seen before so you have to try it. It's not that much too so it's gonna be with your time. It's a tourist attraction so I would highly recommend it

One word: Skyspace! Today was the grand opening so we did not expect to be able to get into the Observation decks and to try out the crazy slide. Instead, we partied with the rest of LA at their block party. The music was crazy, especially when Far East Movement played their set. Man o man were we having a good time! It's too bad we couldn't stay any longer to catch Snoop Dogg! Once the hoopla dies down, we are going to check out the deck and outdoor slide...

Overall very cool place small short slide 3-5 seconds amazing view of city staff very friendly only bad part is parking can get full at times so we literally had to pay like 27.00 to park only an hour

From Monday to Friday 9-5, I call this home. PROS: - Interesting looking architecture - Full of natural lighting - I also guess it's pretty neat seeing my own work tower in famous movie scenes CONS: - Small office space - Poor circulation....the air is either ridiculously hot or freezing cold - Unhelpful security The US bank tower is currently going through a big remodel, so it's annoying that there's only one entrance right now and a lot of the space is being blocked off. Apparently they're trying to add an observation deck and restaurant open for the public, but I personally don't think it's necessary....one of the things I liked about my tower was its exclusivity :( Welp....time to get back to work!

Hands down the best view of LA! I attended an event here and the views from the top of the tower are stunning. Since this was an event we didn't have to pay any entrance fees but they normally charge $20/person to enter the building. You are then taken to their museum where you can walk around and learn some cool facts about LA. You can also have your picture taken (another $10). Then comes the much anticipated slide (this is also an additional fee but you can purchase it as a bundle with your ticket) and I was slightly disappointed. The concept is really great but the slide is only 1 story so it's really quick. Overall, I would say if you have a reason to go here and want to get a great view of the city then it's a fantastic spot otherwise I'm not sure it's worth all the fees.

My friend and I had reservations to 71 Above at 7pm on May 15, 2019. When we got there and entered the building, my friend was immediately approached and surrounded by police and was detained. Come to find out later that the security guard there mistakenly identified him as the suspect they were looking for in a burglary case. My friend came in earlier that day, into the building, to make the reservations at 71 above. He mentioned that he was being treated unfairly by the security guard, who was asking several questions not related to making reservations. Because of the security guard's mistake we were unable to enjoy a lovely evening. We have been humiliated and traumatized by this event. We are deathly afraid to come back.

I agree with John when he says that there is a lot of history with this tower. When build in the late 80s it was open as the Library Tower. The reason is was named the Library tower is for a couple of reasons. The first reason being right across from the beutiful Los Angeles Public Library. The second reason is because the Library building actually saved the Library across the street. When the Library tower was going to be build, there was plans to tear down the library because it was old, lack of funding etc. However the Library Tower saved it (thank god). The Library Building (aka US Bank Tower) is probably my favorite building in the world for a couple of reasons. Architecture design: The city of Los Angeles has a lot of limits to how a building can be build. First of all, for now, they all must have a flat roof to accomodate a helipad (I don't know the reason). So this limits architects when it comes to designing a building. This is one of the reasons you dont see antenas in building, as apose to NYC and Chicago. However the architect for this building innovated and made this building a peace of art. It makes me feel like this building is the queen of LA, it even has a crown on the top to remind us about it. I can write a 300 page book about how beutiful this building is, and the meaning that brings to me. I can write poetry about also, all in all, one of my favorite buildingd.

If I would give NO stars, I would. Worse service ever. Spent my lunch there (20-30 min) for them to try to charge me for a Cashier Check where my other bank (Wells Fargo) does it for free. They seem to never be busy and take their precious time. I heard from Catheryn the personal banker that they are allegedly "ethical" what is ethical about not valuing someone's time when I say I am on lunch and you basically took 20-30 min of my time to do nothing for me? You didn't even help me. And every time that I am in there it is the same SLLLLLOOOOWWW MOTIONNNNNN. Why are they so slow in there????!!! I thought it would be easy since I work in the same building but if it wasn't for the sign up bonus, then I would have never opened an account. Go to Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, a Credit Union. Anywhere is better then them. URGGGGGG

Just stopping by to give a shout-out to the building I have to be in everyday. Yay for working in the tallest building and landmark of LA? We kind of have this love / hate relationship. Don't know much about the tower's history but I can tell you that if you work in the building or anywhere nearby, you should park your car in the parking lot at 808 Olive. It's only $5 all day and they have a shuttle system that drops you off just a block away. Hope that saves you some $!

I remember when, because of earthquakes, buildings in LA were limited to 12 stories. The only exception was City Hall. Site of the Los Angeles Stair Climb. Done in late September. Benefits the local YMCA. 2015 will be my fifth time climbing the 74 floors. New age group: 70-75. T shirt says: "elevators are for wimps." Should take you about as long as it takes to run a 5K.

Ty Jackson of Streamline Tax Services served me well. He completed my taxes and I got a got tax refund. He's a legit tax company. Nice office! Fast worker!

This is the tallest building on the west coast. It's the 11th tallest building in the US and in the top 70 tallest buildings in the world. Given that it's the tallest building in LA and the whole west coast, you'd think it would be a bit nicer. It's a dated building with a very depressing lobby and no sky deck at the top to take in the view. All of that is apparently changing next year though as this building is getting a huge makeover which is set to include aforementioned lobby and a restaurant on the top floor with, you guessed it, a sky deck. It should be done just in time to see it's title disappear as the Wilshire grand tower will be the new tallest building in the west when it's finished.

There's a lot not to love about the Library Tower. First, it's officially called the U.S. Bank Tower, which is awful. And it used to be called the First Interstate Bank World Center, which was confusing because there was also a First Interstate Tower that was a completely different building. As an adolescent, I always referred to it as the First Interstate Building, which it never really was. But there's also a lot to like about it. It's the tallest US building west of the Mississippi. That's not really an accomplishment per se, but it was pretty neat being a Southern California native in the late '80s and being able to be proud of something as ridiculous as a skyscraper. As far as skyscrapers go, it looks pretty interesting. It could be better, but it could be much worse. (There are far uglier buildings downtown, so I'm giving the architects a free pass on this one.) I love the fact that you can identify when a movie that is set in L.A. was filmed by whether the skyline includes the Library Tower. If there's no Library Tower, the skyline shots were done before 1989. A friend and I tried to get to the top of it once in the early 2000s. This was before September 11, so security wasn't that big a deal. We were able to get more than halfway up, but there are separate elevators that go all the way to the top, and we couldn't sneak past the security guard into these elevators. Before he escorted us out, we were able to walk down a hallway and get a pretty amazing view through some corporate office's glass walls. People who like to make fun of George W. Bush might also remember that he misidentified the Library Tower when he broke the "news" that federal agents had foiled a terrorist plot to bomb the building. The problem with that story was that the supposed foiling took place two years before Bush made the announcement, which conveniently coincided with a drop in Bush's approval ratings. In order to continue to scare Americans about the ever looming terrorist threat and simultaneously bolster his job-approval rating, he trotted out old information and pretended it was timely. But the better part of the story is that Bush misread the teleprompter and called it "the Liberty Tower in Los Angeles." I remember either listening to the press conference on the radio or watching it on TV and asking myself, "What the heck is the Liberty Tower?" Leave it to our most illustrious village idiot to make up a patriotic-sounding name for a building named after a public library. It's kind of neat how they change the lights for the holidays and to support L.A. sports teams. I also like the closeup of the Library Tower in the introduction (or is it the closing credits?) of The Tavis Smiley Show.

I would give this US Bank Parking (ABM Parking) horrible service !!! I was asking questions to OUE Skyspace employees to see if my kids wanted to try it out, but when we got there they didn't want to go in. We were just speaking to the workers for 5 minutes went to get in the car to leave and it was charging us full price when we were just in there for minutes ! So we pressed on the help button and I have no idea who I was speaking to but he was very rude it was on 3/17/19 @ 6:30-7 between that time have no idea exact time, but whoever was speaking to me on the voice monitor was extremely rude horrible customer service I explained my situation and he stated "well if you came into the wrong garage it's your fault and have to pay the price for your mistake !!" And he clicked while I was still trying to talk to him! Will go to corporate about this situation for his poor customer service & definitely need some training or maybe another job where he doesn't have to deal with customer service because he has none !!
