“Find Another Hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We originally booked this hotel through Hotwire back when it was a Clarion Inn. It was rated a 3-Star hotel with decent amenities. I never got a notice from Hotwire about the name change until I inquired about it a week before our trip. I was resent a confirmation for the Motel 6, also rated a 3-Star with the same amenities, so things seemed okay even for it being a Motel 6.

We only planned to stay one night before flying out of LAX the next morning. However, when we checked in, things changed. C.J. at the front desk was extremely helpful. The hotel itself, sketchy and in a questionable part of town. From where our room was located, you had to walk outside around the hotel to the front desk due to major remodeling. The room itself had a broken window that was open, torn curtains, severely peeling wallpaper and a phone with no buttons. Furthermore, none of the amenities that Hotwire had indicated. While walking down the hall, another guest mentioned a group of teenagers had come into the building the night prior and had a loud gathering in the off-limits area of the remodeling. My wife, infant child, and I felt very unsafe and after complaining to Hotwire and having them reserve us a new hotel, we promptly packed up and left as fast as we could.

“Great staff, clean, but extremely "get what you pay for" in other regards”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

The staff at this hotel were incredibly wonderful, helpful, and accommodating. The staff were lovely, and help make up for the deficits in other areas.

The actual hotel itself was very low budget, although it was clean. There were no outlets in the bathroom, the hot water was only luke warm, the toilet seat was very scratched up, the blankets on the bed weren't very warm. It is definitely a "get what you pay for" hotel, and if you don't want to pay very much money and just want a place to lay your head, this is a good option.

“Overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

Although the Hotel was in the process of remodeling, the fitness center should not have been used as a storage for construction workers tools and beds from rooms being redone. The breakfast was actually pretty decent with a wide variety of choices. I think since the hotel was in the process of remodeling and there were many inconveniences for the guest, that their prices should have been reduced.

Room Tip: Ask for a microwave and refridgerator because not all rooms have them.

“Nice, clean, well located. Marco and Haydee, Mexico Sep 2011”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

This hotel was nice, my husband and I, stayed there for a week from September 9th 'til 16th. It was just as we saw pictures in internet. The hotel is very well located, you have South Pavillion Mall across the street. It has breakfast, free internet and parking included. Breakfast was good, my husband loved mini muffins. The room was always very clean. The hotel manager, Mr. Faruqui was such a kind person, and the whole personnel too. Our flight arrived early in the morning and the hotel manager let us check in before 3pm. We would absolutely come back to this hotel in our next visit to Carson.

Room Tip: We chose a non smoking room and it was really good.

“Decent, but bathroom could use updating”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011

This place was perfectly adequate for a late night arrival into LA and a place to crash. Guy who checked us in (maybe the manager) was very nice, and you can't beat the price. Beds were average in terms of comfort, room had some nice decorating touches, but bathroom-specifically the grout in the shower and the corners near the floor-were kind of gross. Everything else about the room was clean. We stayed in a much more expensive place in Santa Barbara later in the week and my husband, who is quite sensitive about these things, found the bed at this place to be much more comfortable.
