Room seemed clean. It was a basic cheap but clean place. Only side note, maybe not for the kids hookers seemed to be using a room. Didn't bug me. They need to make a living too. Just not fir kids.

The hotel is actually really nice, spacious rooms nice bed and bathroom. However the staff seems a bit racially biased after my reservation I asked about another night and I was told no just off my looks and charged a 10 dollar fee just for leaving my room key in the room.

16, I counted 16 “exotic workers” in and out of the establishment if you’re catching my drift, but I mean that’s not on the establishment itself whatsoever. In a way it provided good entertainment to be honest, was basically on a first name basis with half of them. Saw the same one three times I said “damn busy day” and she was like “gotta get that bread” and dabbed me up. Washed my hands vigorously for an hour but 10/10 no joke

Something bit me on my shoulder and my forehead. I tried to communicate with management, who got irate with me, screaming that he spent a lot of money cleaning the facility. And that he has no bed bugs. BED BUGS!!!! ☠️☠️

Didn’t have any personal problems at all. I felt like my rental was safe at all times. Pros: Fridge, microwave, a/c, great hotel staff. Bed wasn't too hard nor too soft. Cons: Pillows were really flat. The towels were dirty once I arrived, but I quickly talked to the cleaning lady and she changed them right away. 1 out of 5 star hotels, I’d give it a 3.75

For a no frills motel, I was thoroughly impressed with this property. You can tell that the owner put a lot of work into modernizing the room. Parking was a breeze on the property. I will most definitely use them again.

It was close to where I wanted to be. And cheap. It’s in the hood, but reasonably safe. The management could have been friendlier. It’s best if you have a longtime resident to show you around. Still it was safe inside and reasonably quiet. You will certainly be able to soak up the local color there

The front desk lady began to yell at me as soon as I got there. She began to shout and ask how many people people and than began to yell 10 dollar. As soon as I walked in the room it smells terrible! Carpet ripped and walls super dirty. I left around 6 pm and came like at 12:00AM and me and my daughter were super tired so 1 hr into our sleep I began to feel super itchy so I turned on the lights and there ants and some cockroaches in the bed! I packed my stuff my stuff and had to sleep in the car cause no one was in the front desk. Next morning I called Expedia to explain what was going on and nothing was done. I had prepaid for 2 nights and did not get a refund for the one night that i was not there. Extremely unsanitary and the owners are extremely rude and disrespectful. Lost money, lost my sleep and ruined one night of of my vacation.

Wasn’t expecting much, but this place is pretty dirty. Floor trim was covered in stains, window sills were caked in dirt, and the bedding was questionable. Lady that runs the check in knows just enough English to yell a response back at me whenever I asked a question. Was not the least bit polite to me at all. The area and the guests that stay there are pretty sketchy. Good luck trying to get any sleep since this place is right next to a sports bar not to mention the loud bangs and car noise at night.

It’s definitely a 2.5 star motel ... if you keep to yourself nothing happens but the surrounding area is still ghetto and sketchy. However once you get past the rude owners and cigarette burns all over the room ... it’s actually pretty quiet and housekeeping is pretty good but management is a joke but I guess you get what you pay for ... Because it was quiet and no one bothered me during my stay technically as long as the prices remain low yes I would go back

I had a bad experience because the room had roaches and bed bugs and because of that I had to get transferred to another room. I woke up from that room to see bed bugs in the bed this was my worst hotel experience. Plus the owner was mad about me complaining when all of that was just inexcusable and unacceptable

It was clean, comfortable, very affordable, within a 15-30 minute drive to downtown L.A. or LAX airport. The staff was ok. The only one slight negative was that the front panel on one of the nightstand drawers came off. That's hardly something to complain about but thought I should mention it as the motel wasn't anything like what almost all of the negative things others said.

Good location, only because of good freeway access. Very little in the way of restaurants or retail in close proximity. This was one of the least expensive choices for Los Angeles, so I didn't expect much, and that's pretty much what you get in terms of room, decor, etc. Just an old motel with the basics. The staff barley spoke English and they were not friendly; almost paranoid.

There’s no clothes hooks and it’s next door to a sports bar. For the most part, it was fine. I had the room closest to the sports bar, but I barely heard or felt the music. If you’re sensitive to it, maybe ask in the “special instructions” to request a room as far away from the bar as possible. Other than that, I had a good time. Bed was comfy, shower was decent, and if you need public transportation, the Metro rail system was a short walk away.

I originally stayed for two nights and then added three more nights. on the morning that I needed to check out Tuesday I need another night instead of him asking did you still need another night he pounded on my door telling me it was check out time I decided then to get a room at another hotel. There is a huge language barrier from the man in the woman that run the hotel the woman speaks no English whatsoever.
