Kerry
This motel was bare bones. No blanket on the bed, just a thin dingy sheet with a thin bed spread that had cigarette burns. Hate to know when the last time it was washed. What towels there were (no wash clothes), were also thin and dingy. Toilet was clogged, floor was not very clean. There was trash scattered around property.
Shu
Beautiful place, great value. The owners are some of the friendliest people I’ve met. Good vibes all around. Very centrally located to drive to anywhere in LA.
miranda
I stay at the hotel one night a week for work and I always stay at budgets motels and this is the worst. The only thing I need is a clean bed a clean room clean bathroom that’s all clean nice towels this motel have the worst of everything..
Christopher Borromeo Dela
Very nice staff.
Max
Easy check in and check out for a weekend in LA
Genesis
Horrible place. Mold on ceiling, everything broken, bed stiff as a board, came out feeling itchy. Area is sketchy but one positive thing is that the staff was friendly and understanding.
Amy
Dirty! Walls floor
Lillian
I liked the staff and very easy check-in. The exterior is nice and well kept. There is a microwave and refrigerator in the room.
What I did not like, was the room I was in(which was nice in size)was not fully clean. There were children’s markings all on the metal bedside drawers and writings on the table. The wood floors were nice but not thoroughly cleaned. Towels appeared clean but were very stiff. And bathroom tub had black molding. All this room needs is a very nice paint job, replacing of damaged furniture and caulking the bathtub.

This is a gem tucked in a not busy and noisy street. Very accessible to everything at Wilshire. The staff was very helpful. Easy check in and out. Super clean rooms.
Jorge
Towels where dirty. Sheets were stained. The AC unit filled the room with smell of cigarettes.
Staff was freindly and very helpful.

Vicky
Parking was easy, needs some touch ups but all in all it was quite, I was there for two nights for a eye surgery so it was nice and black out curtains with nice tvs
Jan
Average.
Celiano
It was clean and people were kind and tried to do their best. Probably rooms need upgrades.
Taivan
They charged me on the days I didn't stay. The manager and staff were rude and unhelpful. The rooms were gross, and the environment was very noisy, making it hard to sleep.
Fernando
Incredibly loud. Hard to sleep. Workers moving stuff around all night long. very loud thuds. Bathroom was dirty.
Erick
Blood stain in the bed sheets
Lisa
Room was mostly clean but some disrepair
kimberly
This property felt very safe, with good off-street parking, and it was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The coffee machine in the front lounge was worthy of the Ritz. The staff was lovely to us, and overall, this was an exceptional value for the money. We were attending an event in Santa Monica, and this was convenient to Olympic, Pico, and the 10.
Megan
Good location! Staff was really nice. AC was in a weird area of the bathroom and very loud.
Selin
Pros: Parking was free and safe. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was convenient and we could easily reach most places.
Cons: The sink was outside the bathroom( I don’t know the other rooms). The A/C was old school and noisy. The towels were clean but had a strange smell.

Dusty
Looks reasonable, low cost, works if you are just passing through. When you look closer you can notice the flaws, dirt, age, quality. Rooms need updated bedding and towels, otherwise it worked.
Sanjeev
It was decently priced relative to other hotels but cleanliness wasn’t all there. Some of the surrounding streets also didn’t seem the most safe.
Nicole
Middle of the road motel
Blankets were full of burn holes(even though we were in a non smoking room) and were too itchy. Bed was comfortable though and the sheets were clean. Also the ice machine didn't work during our stay. Coffee provided in the morning was good.
James
I seen 8/10 stars so I stayed but it looked like a motel 6 and it was in the hood definitely. I don’t recommend
Garrick
Female front desk agent is a natural for the hospitality business. Her ability to make quick, guest-centric decisions which also benefit the company and build guest loyalty was such a relief in this current state of the business. Thank you !
Nicolette
The rooms were clean but tired
Enedy
Great customer service and property is in a good area
Judy
i was sorry there was no elevator but i should have asked for downstairs room when i reserved. staff was so helpful they carried my luggage upstairs for me. couldn't ask for nicer staff
S
Easy and friendly check in. Room was spacious and clean, bed was comfortable. Super easy free parking, quiet area (no late night bars). Fridge and microwave were super helpful! Would definitely stay again.
Alexis
Staff was amazing. Hotels like this are usually terrible customer service, but these girls were so sweet and helpful. VERY surprised! Good job ladies ❤️
Edward
Very friendly. Good clean room with a view. Great staff.
Josie
This property is very conveniently located and inexpensive! The staff are also very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for in terms of the actual property. The rooms are old, outdated, and not the cleanest. There were also plenty of broken things in the rooms, one being the safety lock on the door. If I was traveling alone, I would not have felt safe here because of that, so keep that in mind.
Daniel
Clean room but walls extremely thin. Heard things we didn't need to hear. Free parking was nice.
Ayanna
a room was booked for a resident whos apartment was going under renovations but since the resident didn't have an ID they wouldn't let her stay in the room. However the hotel kept the full payment of the room and wont refund any of the money paid up front. The resident never stepped foot in the hotel room.

Tamsin
I shared a spacious room with my adult son during a 4 day trip to visit LA. I would have preferred the option of 2 beds but that was not available. We made the king work though. The room was adequate for our needs (sleeping, and being close to my daugher's house). The bedding was clean although an extra blanket would have been nice. We were there in Nov and nights were a little cold. The AC/heater worked well but was very noisy coming on throughout the night. We had to ask for more towels at the start and maid service didn't replace the proper amount. No problem asking front desk for them. Frigde, microwave, TV all very good. There was some grout funkiness around the bathtub that could have been cleaned with clorox ,but not terrible. Most importantly it was a very good price, safe parking in courtyard and I felt safe (even when I slept there alone one night).

Was a great stay
Joseph
Great service and nice location
Nelson
Great staff, clean rooms, and quite. We enjoyed our stay.
Danielle
Super easy check in. Friendly staff. AC worked well & nice hot water in the shower. Room could use a little updating but overall was great for the night.
Stacy
This property was very nice. I couldn't believe they had toothbrushes fir you in the room. That was awesome since we forgot mine. The check is ant out was pleasant. Very friendly staff and even had a expresso machine which was wonderful. Definitely would stay again.
Yun
Fan in shower room is not working
Paris
An average place to stay for a few days only
Stayed for 7 days. Fridges don’t come with a freezer. When I arrived they didn’t ask me if I wanted upstairs or downstairs but they asked the man in line before me and that rubbed me the wrong way. The room I got was clean, roomy. You have to call the office and ask for their maid service to come, that felt inconvenient. Parking spaces are too narrow. The staff isn’t very approachable and the on-site manager said if you pay directly it’s cheaper than online but that wasn’t true and ended up wasting my time looking into staying there longer. Left after initial week. Overall it’s a decent, quiet place in a high-traffic area.
Sacha
Very good on a budget

Very good if you’re looking for a budget stay.

It was essy to find and centrally located.
Jacinta
Exemplary service by front office staff.
Gooyong
Deterioration of internal furniture and poor tub drainage
Monika
This place is absolutely amazing and I would stay here any time! Wendy, deep and Jim saved my as*! I thought I was going to be sleeping outside as the place I originally booked- stylish hostel- did not honour my stay- I showed up and no one was at the property and no one answered the door or the phone. After wondering around LA by myself, as a young female, for 4 hours and contacting Expedia/orbitz to help with my situation, Expedia set me up with this place and they were so helpful and accommodating! The room was clean and had everything needed, I am so grateful for them! Would highly recommend!
Mario's
Will stay again. :)

Great for families. The staff is very friendly and accommodating (printing stuff and mailing post for us). Room we were in was very clean, looked refurbished and had everything we needed. We felt like home. Will book with them again on our next trip.
The Inn is on a clean and safe residential street in Koreatown. It's got a lot of bus stops around for easy access to downtown area or Citadel outlets (use Citadel's free bus line 600), or short Uber drive (prepare to pay extra $10 hidden booking fees on top of Uber price in the app).
The Pico blvd. around the corner is full of excellent budget restaurants (besides Korean, you can try Salvadorian El Trabol's best in town Pupussas, and Mexican Tacos El Compita's delicious Tortas).
