    I was disappointed that talking to the Front Desk person was only through a Window as I had to stand outside it. There was no water hookup to the handheld shower and then I had to take a bath, I couldn't get electrical power to the hairdryer.

    To start off when I arrived police was there because someone had broken into a room to sleep in, secondly the room was extremely outdated and dirty. The bed sheets had a cigarette burn in the middle. The bed was as stiff as heck felt like I was sleeping on a box spring instead of a mattress. My back is still recovering. The restroom had graffiti tagging. Paint all over the room was falling off. The towels had an extreme chemical smell. But I mean you get what ya pay for. 1/10

    Booked a room with one king bed, when I checked in I was told I was getting a room with 2 queens bed and that I was only allowed to touch one bed. It was just me so I didn’t need to use the 2nd bed but it was weird and rude and I assume the reason was they didn’t want to chase to change the bedding on both beds which makes me seriously question their housekeeping standards if they are in the habit of not changing bedding after a guest had stayed in a room.

    This was the absolute worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The room was disgusting, there was no shower head just the pipe coming out. There were no pillow cases on the pillow. The bed was very dirty like the prior guest left it dirty and they just made the bed. The bed felt like it had plywood underneath the sheet. The carpet was sticky. There were stains on the bed sham carpet, and the walls. Exterior was very disgusting homeless people hanging out.

And I honestly did not feel safe, there were many unfavorable people in and around the property. Do yourself a favor and spend some more money for a decent room.

    The whole property had hazards laying around. I checked in at 3pm and someone was power washing parts of the building with a very loud gas power washer. The room looked alright until I discovered the refrigerator did not work. I told the manager and he changed my room to the one next door. The room was fine for one night but I wouldn't want to keep it any longer. It was a one night stay anyway. The power washer continued until at least 9pm. There was no microwave in either room. There was a I tried to get ice fromsmall microwave built into a small cage mounted on to the wall next to the check-in window in the pool area(empty). The microwave had lots of old food stuck to the glass plate.so I didn't use it. I tried to get ice from the ice machine but it broken also. What a lousy experience.

    I stayed for over a week and it took a day or two to become comfortable, but overall it was a very comfortable stay. Daily room service was great with replenishing towels and cleaning out the shower drainage without asking. Parking was easy. Lots of shops on Whittier Blvd. It is a motel, of course, so expect some noise from neighbours. Would stay again and hope the pool will be open in future.

    owners are very freindly and you feel invited. Not like all these other motels around whittier that make you like your not wanted. And at checkout we checked out at 11:30and it was no problem no one standing there waiting on us to get out. I would recommend checking out at 11 but the owners were very nice. Good job for the new owners.Would recommend to everybody.

    Absolutely worst experience. Check-in is in the back (no lobby) and you talk to someone thru plex-glass with a small slot underneath. Could barely hear a word they say. Bed was like laying on a sheet of plywood. Warm water only all times of the day. Dried mucus on the wall. Filthy walks and doors. Tatooed ex-con types walking about. Suspected prostitutes about. Asked to cancel after night 1 of 3 and they told me I'd have to go thru Expedia...even though they charged my credit card on site. Expedia tells me that the hotel should have refunded me because they charged my credit card. Expedia called the hotel and they said the manager was away. They called multiple times and the hotel stopped answering the phone. Pool was drained with all kinds of filth at the bottom. I turned in my room key and TV remote after one nights stay and spent the next 2 nights at The Vagabond Inn across the street. Much much better place! Do not stay at The Best Whittier Inn no matter what the cost may be.
