    Didnt like how you communicate with the front desk. No room service or service to call for more sheets or blankets. Bathroom was always wet like there was a leak. Bed and pillows are very stiff

    To make matters worse they never refunded my security deposit. I will be disputing the transaction with my credit card company. I don't know how they manage to have the rating that they do (6.2 stars when I booked) but don'I trust it like I did!

    When I drove to the property, it’s condition is actually shocking. It really looks ‘run down ‘. The room, although below par, is not as bad as you may think, based on the outside appearance of the property. It has a refrigerator, microwave, flat screen TV with lots of channels, WIFI, and was not as bad as first thought... but it’s not for couples! You will be in the dog house for sure!

    I always appreciate a motel with air conditioning. Presence of fridge and microwave oven was nice. Tap in keycards were easy to use. Rooms were adequate. Plumbing needed a bit of work

    Travelocity said Computers were down and hotels Management said, "No record of myself in their system. " Was billed on credit card and no one from Travelocity has called me back. I'm displaced in my car, no shower, no Housing for tonight. Late for meetings in Dungy clothing and your sorry your Computers are down. What about your customer in the street. This is the 3rd incident with Travelocity. I'm calling State that governs your company, and request charge back to my card for inconvenience and room costs. Will not take credits in system like before. Need Management to call back like I requested.

    Very pleased with this room. I didn’t expect it to be one of the Best rooms I’ve had for the price I paid. Compared to the last couple of rooms Within the area, this by far has got to be the Best for us. We read the reviews and still gave it the benefit of the doubt due to the price and we’re actually glad we did. If what they said in previous reviews are true then I must admit that it has made a tremendous change for the better. Very polite staff, I requested a downstairs room during check in and got exactly what I asked for. Walked in & was actually amused with everything (no exaggeration). In order to appreciate this type of room , you have to be @ about 3-5 other motels nearby with about $20-$60 more with way less everything. I’m not sure about others but i’d Recommend this if you’re trying to save and expect to be there for more than a few days because they also have weekly specials.

    On top of it having a difficult parking arrangement, a 25.00 parking deposit was required which was not known before paying and there is a sign that says no refunds. There is no lobby so if it were cold weather conditions you would be out of luck. The room was very tiny and walls were a mustard color. As I was eating dinner I noticed 2 roaches on the wall. Also wierd keyless entry system I am unfamiliar with an bars on the window. I didn't even sleep there the day I checked in. No hard feelings to the staff but I will not be returning there.

    My worst experience of life was staying at this hotel. Where do I start? Everything about it was wrong and illegal. No house keeping, no water in the shower, no bathroom curtain or door closing, no water for a day, cockroaches all over, cigarette holes on the bed comforter, place never cleaned and dusty all over, referigerator, microwave, or llamp - none of them worked. I wonder how city allows it to keep operating with such a horrible condition.

    I booked this motel last minute for a stay in Los Angeles after a booked Air BnB was cancelled. Price was amazing, service even better. Room didn't have an iron but I asked at the main office and they lent me one the entire weekend. The room was small but I was alone and it was perfect, it's a cheap motel in Los Angeles. It was about a 15 minute drive to USC and I was very close to other locations I was visiting. This room is perfect for a person or two that just need a place to shower and sleep and will be out often. There was enough parking right in front of my door and I could see my car out the window. The people in the main office and cleaning the following day were very nice. I would def stay here again. They even provided me with water bottles and soda cans for free when I checked in. Some hotels don't even do this! Dope, cheap motel for a night or weekend in Los Angeles.

    The room was disgusting. I accidently booked this room since there were 2 motels with the same name. I tried to cancel but wasn't able to since I booked the same day so I had no choice but to stay there. THE oom smelled as if they had just bombed it for cockroaches, the sheets were not washed and the towels had hair on them as if they had just been used, there was absolutely no space to move around due to the bulky furniture that was useless taking up so much space, the bathroom was horrid with dead cockroaches on the floor, the sink was clogged and the shower was filthy. We felt we had no privacy since the curtain was see through and you could see silhouettes of people outside our room. The only good thing about it was there was ample parking. I would never stay there again and recommend no one else does either.

    Manager had the nerve to kick me out one day before my check out because a friend decided to dropp something off to me. The manager said he didnt want any vistors. But my friend stayed less than an hour. He also told me dont ever come back here again. I told him I would rather sleep in the street then come here. Really bad expierience.
