I came by and checked out room before i booked since I was already in LA and wanted to move to a different location. I was surprised since some of the reviews are bad. We booked a two bed room which ended up having a small bedroom inside so it was two rooms, two tvs, two dressers, two ac units....very roomy! We had one bathroom, one fridge, and one microwave and free wifi in the room. Also, a free daily basic breakfast (bagels, toast, cereal, oatmeal, mini-chocolate muffins, and pre-packaged danishes. Also, coffee, milk, oj, and apple juice.)
It was a great basic room, that was clean, and no bedbugs. I always check beds first. They had the mattress covers to prevent bedbugs.
I was surprised to read someone's review of the area as interesting....this was a great neighborhood to stay in...there was a park a block away, the farmer's market/the grove about two blocks away and the beverly center shopping about a ten minute walk. This is a pretty nice area if you are trying to book with a budget. Now, it's not accessible to the metro rail so if you are using public transportation, plan on walking or getting a metro pass.
I would definitely stay again! Stairwell was not creepy...I was a single woman with a teenage son. My husband stayed home and we did not have any safety concerns at all.
I was in LA for a total of three weeks and only came here the last week and I wish I had stayed here all three weeks.

Thank you for your kind comments. Each of our rooms has a protective mattress cover to prevent bedbugs. We also have a pest control company that monthly checks for issues, our guest satisfaction and stay is very important to us. Have a wonderful day.
