“The rooms and location will be nice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and enjoyed it. The hotel staff is helpfully and nice with the guests. The rooms are spacious and clean, the hotel is changing the carpet, the refrigerator was spacious and there are a desk. The hotel provides free internet access. I am in Los Angeles for business and I received that I expect for the price. The breakfast is basic, It contain: a cup of coffee, bread, cornflakes with milk and glass of juice is it enough for me. Good luck visiting Los Angeles, haaa¡¡¡ the Hotel Location is very good and of course is on budget.

Room Tip: non-smoking room would be nice.

“Do not stay here DIRTY!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

This hotel is a dirty motel!! My husband and I instantly regreted staying here for the following reasons: the room carpet was so dirty it had spots all over, the rooms smelled and we had never before been afraid to walk without shoes or get into bed anywhere else. They provide very limited amount of white towels which by the way are yellow looking and no tissues. No coffee maker and not that I would trust using one in those rooms! There was a fridge

“Cheap motel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

The motel is 20 min from LAX and closed to Beverly Boulevard. The receptionist is not kind. The rooms are not clean and i stayed there 6 nights and no change of sheets. The breakfast is poor, some donuts, milk coffe and oranje juice. The structure is from the 80s so it's not new. The price-quality is ok. But for the same amount of money in the States you can find higher quality motels. There is a small swimming pool but it's directly on the parking. So no fun. It's not the best place to relax and to stay comfortable.

“Cocroaches......... Rude staff....really horrible experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

person found this review helpful

So Ive been travelling all over the world and i'm pretty laid back....i also dont normally write reviews as i dont mind a bit of dirt or if something is not perfect but we checked in to this motel and i always ask for a room upstars as there are less insects...anyway i was sat on the bed when a huge cocroach ran out from under the bed....i was a bit grossed out but decided to try catch it..... until i pulled the cover back off the bed and found loads of little lice looking things crawling all over the sheets....I have stayed in some awful places in vietnam and never seen anything this bad, so i went down and said at the desk that i was willing to stay there if they could move me to another room which they refused to do and they also refused to give me a refund so we had to leave and pay for another room in another motel! DO not go here

Room Tip: go somewhere else

“fine for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Me and my husband stayed here one night as we were going out in Hollywood, live in the burbs and wanted to relax and have a few drinks. I booked this before seeing all the awful reviews, but it was fine. Whilst I appreciate that other travellers may have had a worse experience than us, I felt I had to provide some balance and respond to some of the criticisms. For $61 incl tax, I think it was fine. Yes the decor is dated (70s/80s), but you can't expect stylish at this price at this location. Our room was clean, bed comfortable with clean sheets, towels, shampoo and soap. We arrived around 7.30pm on a friday and had no problem getting a parking space outside our room. Staff on reception were polite and were happy to direct us to an ATM and call us a taxi. Lots of useful tourist info in the lobby. We came back to the hotel around 2am and didn't have any problems with safety but surely you should be careful almost anywhere in LA at night? We didn't have the included breakfast. Not atmospheric, romantic or a treat, but fine as a place to crash. We will probably use it again.
