“Good value, but lacking some basics.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

people found this review helpful

Pros - very clean and new looking room. Nothing looked dated or worn with the furniture or linens. Cleaned every day and building looked in good condition. Easy freeway access and you are within 30 minutes drive to just about everything you might want to do. Neighborhood seemed safe enough and had no concerns at night. Great price for 2 double beds. A/c and heating unit worked great, shower was clean and right temperature.

Cons - not the friendliest staff at the front desk. Breakfast was very lacking, cereal with one type/flavor of pastry, minimal milk available and juice if you were lucky. Staff didn't seem too concerned about breakfast supply. If you like multiple pillows, bring some, only one her head. Wifi wasn't available, I think that was the most disappointing part. Towels were very thin and you barely received enough for everyone in your party, surprising for such a new looking place.

Overall, this place could use some amenities that are lacking for a newer looking building. For the same price or cheaper, I would stay again, a good nights sleep and a clean room are most important. But if a good breakfast and wifi are important to you, go somewhere else.

“Excellent”

We stayed 4 nights at this hotel and really appreciated it. The building is nice, our room was large and clean. The hotel is not close to the beach, but seriously, it doesn't take long (20-30 minutes) to get to the touristic places...and at least it's really good value for money!! The only thing that wasn't that good was the breakfast : 2 mornings were ok (doughnouts!!) but the 2 others, there was barelly anything to eat (cereals).
Anyway, I totally recommend this hotel if you wanna stay in LA in a confortable place without spending too much money :-)

“Awful breakfast, nice room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2010

This hotel didn't have a sign on its building just a hanging banner which we found unprofessional. The area is nice and you can access grocery stores, k-mart etc. however we found it out of the way from a night out in downtown LA or from the beaches, pasadena. It was a nice drive but not fast. The breakfast was awful... I didn't know it was possible to water-down coffee that bad! There were zero choices available... usually a couple donuts laying in a box or a pre-packaged danish. Some Cheerios were available as well... but that was it! The staff seemed disinterested in their job and lacked professionalism. Basically the room and place looked good, but terrible food and sub-par service.

“Large Room and Affordable but not the cleanest”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2010

The suite was three rooms with two tv's and the price was only $59/night. Things were an a pretty worn and there was a big stain in the carpet. The staff was friendly and access to freeway was easy. Neighbor hood was quite and felt safe. If your expectations aren't high this was a bargain.

“Nice room, awful brekfast”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2009

The room was good. Spacious and well cleaned every day. What possibly could be added is a coffee machine. According to the hotel description includes continental breakfast. But I don't know if I would like to call it breakfast. First morning we found only cornflakes, no milk, no bowls. We had to ask for it. There were no bread, only laminated Donuts, which we got after asking for it. The coffee is the worst I've ever had. If they can't make coffee, hot water and Nescafe would have been better. Juice was only one choice of.
The pool is small, but we used it several of times. It's nice and clean.
The staff seems not like to be there, no interest in their guest. We felt like we were disturbing them.
If you don't need any breakfast, the rooms are fine and the area is quiet. The Wi-Fi is only possible in the receptionen, and by cable in the room. It works ok, but I don't call it High-Speed.
We staid here in 17 days.
