I was traveling up to LA for a convention this weekend, everything near the center had much higher prices and I didn’t mind driving to find a better deal.I try to give older looking places the benefit of the doubt, But this wasn’t a great stay. I’m sad I used $40 worth of my hotel rewards for such a low quality hotel but glad I wasn’t paying more. The room smelled musty and stale. There was an iron burn in the carpet, and a section of torn away carpet. The chair and ottoman in the room were completely stained with who knows what. the mini fridge had rust, and we killed at least 2 cockroaches. the bathroom door stuck and you had to yank really hard to pull it open or shoulder check it to push it open, likely due to it being off kilter and having a “landlord special” paint job where there was paint on the door jam pieces. the bed it self actually felt decent and possibly newer… the pillows however were way too small for a queen bed. the ones i used was either something extra extra firm that had no give at all or one that had no stuffing. the other bed had lumpy and misshaped pillows. The ice machine area smelt like piss since it was outside. Since I knew I couldn’t cancel and get my money back as we’d already checked in and were exhausted from a long con day, we stayed. it was just a place we slept for 5hrs before leaving it till 11pm again. Definitely not a place I’d hang out in.
