stayed 2 nights and no complaints. nice room, clean, free parking, close to lax, free shattle, free wi fi cost around 70$ per night.

The 'hood reminded me a bit of home (Detroit); lots of things going down that make it not the best place to act like a silly tourist. But “Mr. Tony” is friendly and helpful; plus they had Randy's donuts available for breakfast! I had to make extra trips to Randy's in addition though; those were great donuts! Our room was clean and comfortable; the only inconvenience was a lack of outlets for my laptop. Had to unplug a lamp. I will definitely stay there again as long as they keep giving me my donut fix!

On the whole, this was a good property for the price I payed (king bed, AAA rate of 76.49 per nite). The room felt clean and was actually spacious. It does need some fixing up, but just minor stuff.

I do admit that upon arrival, I was iffy on this part of town; it's located in a mainly "local" area that is isolated from other hotel properties. If anything, it's very near the rental car locations, so is convenient if you have to return one. I really hope I'm not being rude, but as a solo female traveler, I try to situate myself in more visitor-friendly places, and I did feel a little out of place here. HOWEVER, I did walk over to the sundry store across the street, which is not so convenient because you have to walk down the street in either direction to get to the crosswalk. Arby's is next door, as is a Mexican restaurant, which I didn't try. Best of all, Randy's Doughnuts is a less-than-five-minute walk down the street. I felt safe in walking to these areas, but would not go out at night.

If anything, it's a good overnighter hotel because if you choose not to rent a car, they do offer tours (VIP Tours of California) that pick you up, drop you off at the main office, and take you on to your specific tour. Some of the selections include Universal Studios, Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Sea World of San Diego, Six Flags Magic Mountain, the Getty Museum and general tours of Los Angeles. So you can save money on the hotel and use it toward these tours. On the other hand, if you're looking for a full-on hotel experience, this would not be the place to do it.

A nice bonus was the airport shuttle van took me directly to my car rental company since I was the only passenger. I appreciated that for sure.

Customer service can be lacking, but as mentioned, this would be a good consideration for a quick overnighter or as headquarters for days spent exploring elsewhere.

NOTE: The second floor is accessible only via stairs!

Located next to LAX, this hotel has an amazing location if you have a car (and you probably will if yo go to LA).
Rooms are big and bathrooms too, comfy and complete.
Nice space for your things if you get there with big luggage. Parking is free and really next to you room. The hotel has a little pool that looked really nice (we went there in winter).
Even though you hear landings and take offs all night, it's finely preserved from noise so you won't be disturbed.
Above all: it's 2' away from world famous Randy's Donuts!
Excellent choice!!
