Check-in was immediately stressful. I only had a temporary ID because the DMV had already taken my original, and the front desk agent initially refused to accept it. I’d driven 6 hours to get there, had no other option, and eventually showed a scan on my phone. He got me the room, but with a pretty dismissive attitude the whole time. Not the welcome you want after a long drive.

The first night got worse around 1am. I heard a woman screaming in the hallway, what sounded like a serious argument with a man. She fell down the stairs. Twenty minutes later LAPD showed up banging on a door for at least 10 minutes trying to get someone to open up. I looked out and an officer asked if I had heard the screaming. It turned out to be a domestic/custody situation. I felt genuinely unsafe and barely slept.

Room itself was okay but showed its age. The AC had a mildew smell so I kept the windows open, but they were rusted and hard to deal with. The bathroom floor was visibly bulging, likely from old water damage. Towels were thin and worn out. On the upside, housekeeping was reliable and friendly, the pool had guests actually using it, and the location is hard to beat – right next to the Metro and walking distance to Thai Town.

If you just need somewhere cheap to sleep near East Hollywood, it works. But I wouldn’t go back, and I wouldn’t stay longer than a night or two.

It was a place to sleep and shower, however, looked nothing like the pictures online. There were various areas on the walls with dirt and/or food. The room smelled or the AC unit. The office person on Friday wasn’t very friendly and when I asked for another set of towels, the following day, he was hesitant and asked, “didn’t we already have towels?” So overall, it was not worth the price but live and learn.

All the reviews talked about how clean this hotel was. Well complete opposite for us. dirty floors, long dark hair everywhere, the sheets had nasty stains. Floors coming apart like it was probably flooded. towels are dingy. refrigerator is very small. The window did not shut all the way, so it was open all night. could hear traffic and smell different types of smoke. Spoke with the desk when checking out since no body was available when we tried to reach them to let them know about the room. He said he would talk to a manager and they would reach out but never did. For the price it was terrible, never again.

I liked the hotel overall but for what I paid for a “deluxe” room it has little to no privacy with the owner who checked us in walking around outside our window smoking. I loved the pool but not sure what can be done about the windows. Free parking was a great plus

Upon check in desk clerk demanded my drivers license. I inquired as to whether he wanted to scan the back or retain a digital copy of the . He refused to tell . Then stated he was retaining a copy of both sides. When I explained that I'm not comfortable with anyone taking ownership of my ID in digital form, he stated that he was going to cancel the reservation. At this time it was late and I had to work early and was put into a position to beg him to do what he mus and check me in. He finally relented. If policies were made
known upfront, of copying the front of a drivers license I would not book a reservation. Hence forth I will call a property and find out such that I \"Can know\" the business before I make a reservation and won't do business with overly intrusive properties. Scanning the back is one thing. Making a digital copy of the front is quite another. This is my PII. This is my identity. It belongs to me and me alone.

The rooms were clean, thanks to the great cleaning staff who were very nice and accommodating. I booked multiple times here because of their good service, but there are some touch-ups that can be easily resolved in some of the rooms: replacing old broken furnitures, painting, replacing shower poles, and checking refrigerators for frost buildup.

Pros: Although there are some unhoused in the area it still was very quiet. The staff were very professional and the housing attendants were nice as well. They price match with third party booking sights. Stores and eating places are within walking distance.

Cons: I had a slight issue with the room I was in; there appeared to have been significant water damage to the bathroom door show signs of swells. The bathroom looked like makeshift patch work, not the topical hotel/Inn bathroom.

Room was spacious and clean, equipped with functional mini fridge and microwave. Bathroom was clean, you can tell the fixtures were on the older side, but everything worked great with no complaints. Bar soap provided by the sink, and hotel shampoo/conditioner. Overall, for a weekend trip this is an ideal spot, especially being close to Hollywood & Thai town. Parking is limited, and can be a little tight, but it's not difficult to find street parking.

I've stayed in both the main block and the lodge. The rooms are clean and well-appointed with comfortable beds, coffee machine, fridge & microwave.
There's free parking on site; it can get quite full so I've hesitated to drive out for dinner, but haven't had a problem when checking in.
The motel is a block away from a half-decent Target and a selection of food trucks. The area is maybe a bit sketchy, especially at night, but the motel is secure and I haven't had or seen any issues.
Overall, if you have to stay in East Hollywood, this is well-priced and a perfectly good place to sleep. I will happily do so again!

Overall this hotel is fine, but the person who was checking me out on March 17 was rude and non- professional.
I had to leave 2 days earlier due to family emergency. I worked for 21 years for Montrose Travel agency in Montrose Travel in Montrose city,CA. I am very well familiar with travel rules
If you stayed at hotel and need to check out earlier - no problem
The only request I had for receptionist was to give me print out of my actual stay for ,1 night
He refused to do so motivating it - you booked with Expedia
I explained once again, that i am not asking hotel to refund my card - just want the receipt for my one day stay and early checkout
He refused to do it im a very rude way
I stayed in this hotel before and the manager is very nice man, who always tried to make the vistomer happy, was very friendly and helpful- but due to this employee's attitude I will never book this hotel again
I come to LA at least once a month, but now I am choosing another hotels in Hpllywood

The room was older but clean , the bathroom worked fine but the tolet handle was messed up but workable . The shower worked well and the water hot .The room was #303 , inside a building which sounded like a dormatory inside there up until and after midnight . I went to sleep around 1 AM and there was still noise going on with people going in and out of the building . When the shower tunred on next door it sounded like the room was going to excplode or something from the plumbing would be my guess . I'm a General contractor and do a lot of building and remodel and have NEVER heard anything like that before . It did have a fridge and a microwave as well as TV with Wifi for free and the room didn't smell bad and was clean.
It's not a top of the line place to stay but works in a pinch . My girlfirend had to stay at the hospital over night down the street and I just needed a place to park my body for the night as well as the car rather than sleep in a hospitasl bed for the night or cot and pay for parking in their building at the rate of $17 for each time you come and go if you leave before 24 hours which then the hospital will cover it but you're stuck there .
You get what you pay for . The people who run the place were nice as well as very helpful. I had issues connecting my computer to the Wifi and the guy who worked there knew how toi get into my computer and remove what was blocking it as it's a new computer to me and didn't understand what needed to be done .

I booked a “Superior Room” with a King bed and they put me in a much smaller room and said all the other rooms were occupied. This room had paper-thin walls and the door didn’t seal properly, so I could hear everything in the hallway and in the rooms around me, and the light from the hallway bled into my room too. The AC didn’t work as well. Even though it was a King bed, there was also only one bedside table. No breakfast either, but I knew that before booking. The bed was pretty comfortable though.

Overall had an okay experience. It met my basic needs since I was out exploring most of the day, but there some things that could be improved to make the stay more comfortable and worth the price.

One of the main issues was the breakfast. The listing on Expedia mentioned that breakfast was included, but there was no breakfast available during my stay, or at least it was never mentioned or explained at check-in. This affected my planning and budget since I had to spend extra money on meals.

I also booked what was listed as a superior room, but the room I received felt like a standard one. There wasn’t any clear confirmation or explanation from the front desk about the upgrade, which was a bit disappointing.

Another thing to note is that my room was located in a separate building, which was somewhat confusing at first. Additionally, there is no elevator, so carrying luggage up and down stairs was inconvenient.

Overall, the hotel was fine for a place to sleep, but with clearer communication, accurate listings, and a few improvements, it could be a much better experience

One of the only reason why we booked this place was because is was reasonably priced and they advertised breakfast, Come to find out they actually don’t serve breakfast. Then we had issues with the deposit but they were very strict about the deposit meaning no one else can put the deposit down unless it was the person who booked so we had to get cash. The main problem wasn’t the money or the breakfast it was the customer service, the front desk person was very unfriendly and condescending. The room was okay but there were a lot of damages already there, which was kinda concerning in regards of the deposit. Also there was some homeless people that were just hanging out the parking lot and was just looking around cars and hanging around the entrance which honestly staff didn’t do anything about it. Over all this place was not horrible there’s definitely worse places you can stay but we felt like we could’ve got the same if not better service/experience at motel 6 but we payed almost 2x the amount of what motel 6 was charging.
