I read the reviews for this place on here prior to coming to this hotel... and honestly I nearly canceled my reservation.

I personally believe if you are going to 'take a reviewers info' as your guide, it would be best to know a bit about their standard and how they live at home. So here is a bit about me... I am a mom of 2 kids, I live in Alberta, Canada in a 1700 square foot 3 bedroom house, with a double garage, in a suburb of a big city (over 1 million people) I like my home tidy, and clean it diligently. My husband and I travel to hotels at least once very few months. We have been to 5 star, 2 star and everything in between. This trip to this hotel is our 4th trip to California this year alone!

Now lets talk about this hotel, our room was tidy, and the bed even though it squeeks, was comfortable. The sheets were clean, plenty of pillows on the bed. 2 king size and 3 regular size, as well as a round bolster for decoration. Parking was great, and FREE! Several other hotels in the area charged a fee. Access to the highway was easy! There was a Shell on the corner, but it closed down. I came and left this hotel, early morning, and late night, for 7 nights! I never felt scared in the area, nor uncomfortable, there is a great Walmart Supercenter shopping area 3 miles away. It is very central to Disneyland, and Beverly Hills. This visit it was just myself and my husband, however, I would not hesitate to come stay here with my children. We drove the streets around the hotel, and I would not say it is a ghetto area. I was just in San Diego a few months ago, paid double the price to stay in an area called Balboa Park and the hotel was much much scarier as was the area.

The elevator was old, but worked, and the continental breakfast was great (especially since it was free) there was toast, bagels, waffles, eggs, fruit, oatmeal, cold cereal, coffee, juice, muffins, and pastry items. (most people if honest with theselves eat something like this every morning at home anyway)

The maid service was great, even though we hung our towels to re-use them, they replaced them with fresh ones daily, the bed was always made nicely, and the carpets we vacuumed. If one wants to be really picky the very corners of the room had a bit of built up dust, but honestly most homes I go to have the same thing if not worse!! (not mine as I Am pretty anal about edging with my vacuum but many are not)

So if you are looking for the Ritz (then this is not it) go pay $500 a night (which would be about 8 times the price of this place) or spend your $75-100 a night and save the money for a comfortable stay, and spend the rest shopping! :)

Oh and one last thing, the tub was awesome!!! We had a huge soaker bathtub (no jets) and it did not cost us anything extra! We booked right online at Best Western.com and got the cheapest room (one with a king bed) I would definitely return, and I would recommend it to someone else.

Buyer beware!!! This hotel is "The Ghettos". Expedia/Hotwire sold this to me through their Unpublished Rate program. It was advertised as a 3.5 star hotel. I couldn't stay there after seeing the hotel room. Hotel was so filthy. Elevator is dirty. Corridor and room smell bad. I had to check in at another hotel and forego 3 nights of non-refundable room charges.

I agree with Clarence H.'s Yelp review. This is probably the worst hotel I have ever been to and I am not fussy at all. I checked in another 3 star hotel and was perfectly fine there. I do not recommend staying here at all.

After booking this hotel we kept hearing horror stories about East Los Angeles, but during our stay we had no bad experiences whatsoever. 7 miles from Downtown, and another 10 from there will take you to old school Hollywood. The staff were great, rooms were big, free breakfast, and free parking in a garage under the hotel was a great asset.

The positioning for us was perfect, as LA's roads are very conjested it was very easy for us to get on the road when we headed out towards the Grand Canyon. Would reccommend to others and would stay again!

This hotel was an excellent choice for our 2-day stay in L.A.,CA- nice furnitures, clean rooms, clean carpets, good size bathroom, big breakfast area, had a wonderful b'fast and very corteous front office people. Just a 10-15 mins. drive from L.A., the price is very reasonable compared to those in downtown areas. The spa was very good for me after long hours of driving from TX with no rest areas open along I-40 W entering California. Will definitely stay again in this hotel!
