The room is decent for the bargain of LA. There is a frig if you have extended stay. But no coffee is offered or in room pot even. AC was okay. Soap was tiny. But if one knows these things going in it is helpful. There is a full stove and microwave in the community area. Staff was kind.

They had roaches in my room, the satellite tv kept freezing up, there was gunfire and fireworks by the window and the neighborhood was rundown. I do not recommend this place. The only good thing about it they do not charge a security deposit for transient visitors.

Management is completely absent.

The room was filthy.

The fridge was broken.

The pool was closed.

There were 2 twin sized pillows for a king sized bed.

Paint is peeling off the walls.

1 towel.

Loud long term occupants (their bread and butter).

Completely false advertisement and they urge weekly and monthly occupants to comply and give positive reviews.

This place is trash.

HARD avoid.

I'm filing complaints with Expedia and all state and local law enforcement.

This was the worst experiences I have EVER had. They have a huge infestation of cockroaches. When I arrived, someone was peeing on the side of the building. That should have been my first clue. The picture on Expedia look nothing like the place. It was horrible. Dirty, loud, dangerous are a few words that come to mind. I was terrified all night. In the morning I went to take a shower and a huge cockroach fell out of my towel. I started looking around and they were everywhere. I ran out as quick as I could even though I paid for another night. They really should be shut down until they get this place cleaned up.

I have mixed feelings about the Studio Lodge Inn. I stayed there for 2 nights and the front desk was very helpful, polite and apologetic for all the mayhem that happened on their property. This hotel is a weekly so it came along with weekly antics. IYKYK. And the man that was yelling at the top of his lungs at whoever in his room at 4:30am was not the property fault. But OMG! The towels and sheets were stained. Clean but stained.
With that being said the room was clean. No bugs. Bath tub was clean. Floor was clean. But sorry I will never stay there again.

This place should not say it’s a hotel. It’s more of a half way house. Seems like a home less and no phone in room. No room service pool was unavailable closed and that’s not what it says on the website. Not a clean location. BEWARE!!

Please know what you are signing up for. The images online are cleaned up by AI and is not an accurate representation of the hotel.

It is in a rough part of town so be aware when you are outside at night. There are people who hang out outside of the building. The parking is terrible as well. The parking lot is really tiny and can hold maybe 12-15 cars at max and is in an alley. If you are not able to get a parking spot, you will have a rough time getting parking in the street which is lined with cars from the neighborhood apartments that do not offer parking.

When you arrive, they only accept cash for payment. They have an ATM that was broken, so we had to go to a convenience store down the street for their ATM.

The rooms are gross and dirty. Our sheets had stains in them. I went to the front desk to get new sheets and they made me go back and bring the sheets to them to trade out, only for the new sheets to also have stains.

The room had a cigarette smell to it. Some of the furniture was okay, but the room itself was outdated. There was some blood on the counter.

We decided to stay only because there were no bugs. But late at night was when we saw bugs everywhere! There were some roaches and some smaller ones. We checked out the following day.

Do not stay here! Even if you are on a budget, find yourself a hostel or a hotel at a different part of town. This was not what I expected staying here.

On the flipside, the staff member “K” was very helpful and kind. I stayed only one night as I had an early flight

Nothing bad to say about the staff nor the room itself. We didnt mind the room what really bothered us was the residents that's stay there have no courtesy for others and were screaming and yelling in the middle of the night as well as 5 in the morning making threats to each other and hearing what sounded like a fire arm. We stayed in the room the entire time out of fear. Won't be staying here again and do not recommend. I'm so sorry.

Horrible. Just horrible. It was ok for like 2 days then some powder came off the bed and it got everywhere. No matter how many times it was cleaned it came back thicker. Thought it was talcum powder but I’m having my doubts. Parking sucked. If the lord where full we’d have to figure out where we where gonna park through the whole damn neighborhood.

It was falsely advertised on the site. The photos were edited by A.I. and looked totally different in person. Also it wasn’t clean at all pretty much. The floor was sticky the pillowcases had been used and had stains and hair on it. The fridge was disgusting on top was hair and stain. The bed was basically coming off the frame so you had to stay in the middle. The dresser had someone’s toenail collection on it. I saw a roach in the bathroom and the tub was also in poor condition with random things floating around. The hallways look like a rehab center. I’m pretty sure most people who are staying there are on some kind of drugs. They are always sleeping in the hall or just standing around outside. There was an homeless guy singing very loud outside in the middle of the night for over 4 hours. Also I had to leave because someone literally died outside of my window. We pretty much were uncomfortable during the stay. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone to be honest. Negative 5 stars

Clean room, nice staff. I enjoyed very much that they have a gated parking lot but the parking spots are first come first serve so make sure to ask and the location is in the back of the building. They secure it at night so that’s great. If your looking for a simple one night like me and nothing too extra this is your spot but be mindful of the area.

I arrived to check-in and first red flag was “hotel”s location, I should’ve known better and checked before. Walking in the lobby clerk told me it was Cash only which was not labeled anywhere when booking this room so he made me use a broken atm machine that only dispensed a single $20 bill before making me walk around the corner to the nearest liquor store atm. The liquor stores atm was broken too! Thank lot they accepted cash back and I had some cash on me for the trip to cover room. The clerks are really unfriendly, when I asked about parking he told me under his breath through a doubled lanes glass that it’s in the back and first come first serve. The parking is horrible if you’re getting back late in the evening. The rooms are clearly used for sheltering homeless as the room was disgusting, unkept, and smelled like cigarettes. The walls paint is falling off and the bathroom floor had a gooey mystery mark that looked a lot like dog feces. I’m just hoping I have not caught any rashes or bumps from sleeping, toileting, and showering in this room. From about 5pm-8am all you hear from upstairs neighbors is “furniture moving” which got very irritable in middle of the night. At check out another clerk was giving a very hard time to a young lady who had issues with her ID and had cleared her situation with the previous clerk from the day before. I didn’t want to be charged a petty fee so I had to wait their whole 20 minute ordeal. There is also mold and roaches present in room.

Terrible experience from start to finish. The entire property felt neglected, with a clear lack of basic sanitation and cleanliness. The room was in unacceptable condition—dirty surfaces, a strong lingering cigarette odor, and an overall sense that it had not been properly cleaned. Hygiene standards were especially concerning: only one small towel was provided, and it was visibly stained and unclean, which raised serious doubts about how anything in the room was maintained.

To make matters worse, the photos used in their advertising are completely misleading and do not reflect the actual condition of the property at all. What is shown online is far from what you get in reality.

On top of everything, the front desk staff was unfriendly and unprofessional, making an already bad situation worse. I would not stay here again under any circumstances.

Firstly, this hotel is nothing like it’s established to be on Expedia, there was no parking lot, the building looked dilapidated, the rooms had bugs in them, the walls had graffiti, the furniture in the room rooms were old and weathered, same with the showers, even the toilet was disgusting. The area in which the establishment existed was also filled with weirdos hanging around the building outside. Honestly, I want a refund.
