It was our last night after a three week trip to the US and we were staying one night in LA to break to trip back homefrom New York. We found this place on the internet and price wise it was OK at AUS$155 a night for a budget room. the room was OK and clean and across the road... more

We stayed here for the last 2 nights of a 2 week trip. The man who checked us in was fairly vague apart from when he tried to get us to upgrade to an ocean view room. Our room was overlooking the car park at the rear but was large with a nice big bed and clean white bed linen.... more
