I selected this hotel, because it was no more than 1/4 mile from where my mother is staying in an assisted living facility. This hotel is just off of Alhambra Main Street. Several restaurants and night clubs are situated within about 100 feet from this hotel. Check in was painless with the office behind a stout looking plexiglass barrier leaving the impression that this maybe in a high crime area. The lobby is small and where the continental breakfast is offered. The free breakfast is nothing special, but expected for the price we paid for the room. The hotel is in a U shaped configuration and therefore open to the adjacent alley and Main Street festivities. The room is dark with thin walls and ceilings. The bed is OK and I did sleep well, even with the noise from Main Street, people walking upstairs and the TV from the room next door. If you plan on staying here, ask for a room on the 3rd floor and in the back corner. That may reduce the noise even further. The best parts of the stay are the hotel staff who are cordial and polite and the proximity of several interesting looking restaurants. I ran into one young woman who was bringing back food from the Diner. There is a refrigerator and microwave in the room if you have lefovers. If you're into Starbucks, there is one on the corner no more than 50 feet from the hotel. Make sure that you keep your car parked in their lot early, because it does overflow at night, probably due to people who are parking there to visit one of the night clubs.

Close to a lot of resturants and coffee shops. May be a little noisy at night

I was looking for a cheap option for a week long stay in LA and I found it in Alhambra. It's close enough to all the attractions you want to see but much cheaper than anything else I found. There are also great restaurants and a mall near by and there was some night life too! Of course, only stay there if you have a car.

It's really cheap to stay for but it is kinda a hole in the wall.
Service desk extremely nice/helpful. Free parking. Continental Asian breakfast (congee with condiments)
