The Hotel was worth every penny !!
When I booked the hotel for a my vacation, I thought I might have booked a old sluggish hotel, but the in person visit changed my mind completely. The hotel was very comfortable. The hotel is a bit old, but it worth the less money you're spending The place was quiet and there was no disturbance. The room hallway carpets were a bit dirty, and the room was a bit smelly. But the room freshers solved that problem. The morning breakfast was simply awesome. The parking though would be full when u return late night, but the hotel management takes care of it perfectly providing reserve parking place. Parking is free too.. I would certainly recommend the place for a budget stay and will surely visit again

Scary!
We immediately went out and bought disinfectant sprays and cloths to wipe everything down. We had no idea it was in the middle of Koreatown and it was hardly very comfortable. The halls smelt of Raid (the roach killer) . The walls need to be repainted and serious replacements should be made to make it more updated and appealing. The bed was extremely comfortable, but when you were awake, it was kind of scary to be in the room. Very odd location and building. I would have spent more if I knew it was going to be so bad.

The Worst Hotel Ever!
This was the absolute worst hotel I have ever attempted to stay in. The parking garage was unsafe with homeless people camped out behind cars. When I entered the room it was completely disgusting with a mold-covered bathroom, funky carpets, and grimy surfaces. I asked to move to room that was clean and the next room was even worse! It was so dirty, noisy, and unsafe that I asked for a refund. I was told I had to call back on Monday and check with a manager. Called back and my calls were effectively evaded. This was the worse experience EVER. Stay clear of this place. Total waste of money.

fantastic buy for price!
The staff were SUPER friendly, the house keeping was on point (every day my room was clean, towels replaced, bed made), the location was a cab ride away from the staples center, it is close to many attractions LA has to offer. I was honestly expecting it to be a lot worse because of the price and other reviews, HOWEVER, it exceeded my expectations, and i was delighted, i would absolutely do business with them again. Great place if you need somewhere to stay. Remember guys, its not the ritz carlton, but it has a welcoming staff and is a fantastic price for VALUE. Thanks.

Be sure you have a map of where your going, use google maps or mapquest to figure out how close you are to the places you want to be BECAUSE cabs are PRICEY!!!!! Just make sure you know specifically where you want to go.

Worked for what we needed
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, but the Hotel itself lacked a lot! Parking was horrible and the quality of the room, was well lacking. Honestly if you are looking for a cheap room to stay rather close to Downtown LA it's perfect. But if your looking for a good place to stay this is not the place. I would recommend it but it all depends on the purpose of your stay. One or two nights OK, but nothing else.
