    Good value for location but not the most comfortable stay.

    Some (not all) of the desk staff were difficult to communicate with and unhelpful. The towels were poor quality and the bathroom didn’t have a fan or vent. The mattress was stiff and of very low quality.

    The price was good for the location and one of the staff members was very helpful. The air conditioning and shower worked well.

    Nice Cozy and Safe place to stay

    The air conditioner was quite dirty and the room wasn’t well cleaned, maybe because it has been closed for a long time that particular room but the bedsheets were super clean and smelled amazing just like the towels, which for me is the most important thing. There are no insects and the only thing I will ask for is to add a toilet brush to the room because that item is important and it was missing.

    I loved that overall it was amazing to just go and rest after the whole day out. The air conditioner worked really well and we were really comfortable

    Motels with no wifi, could be dodgy

    Tv didn’t work, no fridge, no coffee or pretty much anything. Clean sheets and the bed was comfortable, which really surprised me for a motel that rents out rooms by the hour. I would hate to pay those hourly rates as this place was a bit pricey….could be why the bugs moved out.

    You know all those movie with those dive motels? Well this motel is right there with them. That being said, I must say I enjoyed my stay, it made my holiday like being on safari. There weren’t any bugs though, I guess bugs have some self respect.

    Great location in terms of being near everything, but definitely gross and seedy.

    Floors were dirty, chairs were old and gross, there was no remote for the tv and the room smelled bad.

    Location was nice and central. No more than 20 minutes from any desired L.A. destination.

    I didn't like the fact that the room was located upstairs and that the room did not have a working heater. I paid for 7 days. They would not give me another room with a working heater. Instead I had to go to Walmart to buy a portable heater. I had no other options to make a last-minute reservation with the budget I had. The refund they offered would have taken at least three to five business days to post on my account. There was a mouse in my room, they didn't do anything about it until the next day and moved me into a room that was worse than the one that I had before. I hate it this service that I received and I definitely did not like the motel. I really do not know why these slouchy motels or even on your website. I would not recommend anyone to stay there as I would please ask that this Motel be removed from your website for others to have bad experiences as well. They give the impression that they are a very nice motel by calling to confirm that they received your reservation. That is the only thing that appears to be professional. The on-site manager is limited in speaking English as well as his so-called staff. There's construction going on and the parking is very very limited. The night attendant sleeps during the night time hours, you won't get any help from him because he doesn't speak very good English. The person who calls you on the phone is not even on site. They will take a full copy of your ID as well as your credit and our debit card and I don't understand that. I hope they don't use that information to commit any type of fraud, however the manager is very unprofessional and rude. I believe their custom is to be disrespectful to females. I noticed another female guest letting him know of the issue that she was having and he was very rude to her as well. He's definitely not rude to the male guests and I believe that is very discriminatory.

    It was off the bus line and close to downtown.

    Needs a good scrub and also…nightstands? Plumbing needs work

    You get what you pay for. Bed was rock hard, could barely turn on the shower, and definitely run down/dirty and in a not so nice area. But hey. I survived and it was cheap.

    Area is not the best , but for the budget its OK. Most shops close early and hard to find any shops open after 10. Few options around. Walk to the Metro is 1 Km

    Very good Motel, clean and peaceful. Has few shops around. Has vending machine for snacks.
