Let's be real. When you're looking for budget that's cleanly, this is ideal. You get the bang for your book. Rohid was really amazing and attentive. I do appreciate the help and accommodations. Don't be surprised when you walk in because it's an old style motel/hotel with good service and cheap pricing

I like the vibe of this hotel it was kind of like New York style apartments I love the energy the manager was really really cool him and his wife I think live there and they are so friendly and helpful! Honestly parking is a lot easier than it seems especially if you’re out during the day and then return at night there’s a lot more spots open than you expect! It’s great cost for that location you’re staying in and it’s so worth it but I do recommend getting one of the private bathrooms not doing the shared one just because it’s that nice addition of having your own bathroom you know but I highly recommend it

Friendly staff, clean rooms. Location and price are what make this hotel. We did find a few cockroaches but bought some raid and all was good! Don’t expect much than a place to sleep. No alarm clock, no lamp, bar downstairs and you can hear the music clearly. We came to LA to sightsee and see the Hollywood night life, wasn’t disappointed. Would recommend this hotel for other young travelers looking for the same!

Stayed only for one night, service is good, location great, but you get what you pay for. Only problem as a girl is you feel a bit unsafe with the kind of guests roaming the halls at night. Had to lock myself in my room as I was alone and there were some scary looking dudes. Otherwise a generally pleasant experience!
