wow, i left a comment a few years back for "penny pinchers",,, well have not come back till now, let me say this hotel made a hugh upgrades from then till now. I love the way they changed the look and feel of the place. The staff is excellent, breakfast ok (but really what more can you ask for), I have to agree with everyone else, get the king size the silver doors with the airplanes on it, makes a world of difference.

Well just wanted to put my two scents in, remember YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, dont expect to them bend over backwards for you....

hope this helps future renters...

penny pincher

We decided to stay here our last night of our trip because we had an early AM flight out of LAX.

The hotel staff was not friendly, and we woke up with BED BUG BITES all over us! It was so gross! and to top it all off when we went down to the pool there were DEAD cockroaches floating in the water, and laying all around the deck! DISGUSTING!!!!!!

DO NOT STAY HERE!!

I booked our trip on travelocity before I actually read the other reviews. Then when i read them i got scared and tried to change my booking, but realized it was too late and that i would have ended up paying for this room anyway even if i canceled. Since I could not afford that i just prayed for the best and packed my own sheets, towels, and waterproof mattress and pillow covers. Well when i got to the room, i was pleasantly surprised. I mean it was not a 5 star resort or anything like that, but the room was clean, the bathroom was new and clean, and there was also a microwave and refrigerator, and they were clean and looked new. The carpet looked decent, the bathroom floor had nice new tile and was clean as well. I think the sink counter was granite, or a great imitation at least! The beds seemed new and comfortable. The furniture was old and cheap and not in the best condition, but who's there for the furniture? i don't use the dressers even if i'm in a nice hotel. So that didn't really matter to me even though it was not pretty to look at. We didn't want to spend our trip in the room anyway. Location is great! And even though the neighborhood doesnt look great, it's kinda in the cut. The pool looked creepy. In our room there was a shower curtain, but no liner so every time we showered the floor got soaked, but that was fine, because we had our own towels so we used theirs for the floor. (FYI-u might wanna bring towels).
Breakfast... Coffee was coffee... donuts were....... extra moist... almost mushy.. they gave us a whole dozen for 2 adults and 2 children bc we missed breakfast.. it was a nice gesture but the donuts went to waste.. they were bad...if u want donuts Krispy Kreme is on the corner or crenshaw and Martin Luther King blvd.

So.. we followed my daughter up the elevator one day and found ourselves in what i assumed was the "bad" part of the motel... it looked really old and creepy.. there was a smell in the halls. and it was just scary. we noticed that the rooms in that area didn't have the silver doors with the airplane on it like the ones in the area we stayed. So, my advice would be that if u don't need or can't afford all the fancy 5 star stuff , and u just need a place to store ur stuff, sleep, and shower, then as long as u get a room with the silver door and the airplane, , then it is well worth the stay at that price.

I was actually very happy considering what some other reviews said. i thought there were going to be bed bugs, roaches and skin disease waiting for me in a stinky moldy dirty old room that looks like something u see in a 3rd world country in the movies... Thank God i was wrong! (even though there was a wild chihuahua in the parking lot one morning!-he was cute though!)

I reserved this room onlilne for 2 nights, check in was fine. First impression of the hotel was it looked fine from the outside apperance. Got to rooom and was disappointed. The entry to the room was through a narrow hall and the door was dirty looking and old. Opened the door and the room was outdated which I was not surprised about. Was not the cleanest room. I felt dirty upon walking in and couldnt get comfortable. I decided to ask for a room with an door facing the parking lot, was informed those were king rooms and cost more. I paid the difference and was much happier with the king room. Upgraded bathroom, clean, comfortable king bed. TV was ok. Location is good. Continental breakfast was not great. Overall, stay was good for the cost. Only thing I would complain about in the king room was the dead roach on the bathroom floor when i first got to the room.
