“Don't let the sunny picture fool you!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2011

At $109.00 a night on New years day it still was a rip-off. I looked at the picture when I made the reservations and it looked okay. When the supershuttle dropped me and my friend off, I asked if this was the right place. It is across the street from the social security office and a mental heath clinic in a seedy part of L.A. The first room we checked into had the toilet overflowing, When I called to the front desk he said he would have to come and check then after I changed rooms the telephone didnt work. I told the front desk guy that that phone didnt work, he said are you going to make a call! Well, since we were in a bad neighborhood, I'm thinking 911 isn't out of the realm of possibility so yes I am going to use the phone. He went next door and took the phone from the other room and gave it to me. The door looked as if someone had kicked it in on a previous stay so I had to prop the chair under the doorknob to sleep. The frontdesk staff are not friendly and heaven forbid you need anything.

“Wasn't too bad...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2010

Pretty basic, no frills accommodation. I (thankfully) did not encounter any vermin as some other past guests have.

The room wasn't anything special, but it was clean. The area seems like it can be a bit sketchy if you were to walk after dark, but we drove so it was no concern to us really.

It's close to the touristy stuff you want to see in Hollywood which is why we chose it, and for the low price we weren't disappointed.

Based on my experience I would recommend it to the budget conscious traveler, but if you're expecting the Ritz you are going to be extremely unhappy.

“Grose!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2010

Bedbugs!
I found bedbugs in my room on the first night and was moved to another room but was too scared to sleep. Staff were very rude and would not even let me contact the manager to complain. I checked out early and was forced to pay cancellation fee, even though I was covered in bites. This experience totally ruined my vacation. What a nightmare!!

“the location is pathetic”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2010

at first when we checked into the hotel it looked really good and the staff was also good , but as we entered into the room it was really smelly, there were big roaches,bed bugs. Our trip was supposed to be a romantic one but turned out to be a nightmare. There were lot of transsexuals and prostitutes who were moving in and out of the hotel very frequently. me and my wife felt really insecure. the place is really noisy, the walls are so thin so that you can even listen the person in the next room.

“The service here is horrible!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2009

My friends and I figured this would be a perfect place to stay in order to safely take our friend out on the strip and it turned into an absolute nightmare! Forgot having any of your friends over to this place, even while preparing to go out on the town. We were harassed multiple times by the person at the front desk telling us that everyone had to leave within thirty minutes unless we paid for each of them, and only up to a maximum of four could be paid for, the rest had to leave. It was completely understandable that they didn't want extra vehicles there and those were moved, but the rest was just ridiculous!

This place is not service friendly at all and the person at the desk was incredibly rude! These people have obviously not heard of the saying "The customer is always right" before. Never staying here again.
