Categories

Cleanliness
2.5
Multiple reviews report dirty surfaces, stained sheets, a roach sighting, cigarette odor, and guests buying wipes/air freshener — overall cleanliness is poor.
Service
7
Mixed but generally acceptable: some reviewers noted helpful/friendly owners and staff, though others reported issues (wifi misrepresentation, luggage storage refused). Service scored slightly above average to reflect helpful owners despite operational lapses.
Location
6.5
Location is convenient to SoFi and DTLA with many food/grocery options nearby but described as a 'sketchy' neighborhood — overall slightly positive for location/accessibility.
Room Quality
3
Rooms described as low quality: thin towels, questionable bedding, outdated bed/TV, cigarette smell, and shower/head issues — room quality is below average.
Amenities
5.5
Basic amenities (microwave, mini fridge, cable TV, free parking) are available, but wifi failures, a noisy/malfunctioning microwave, and limited in-room upkeep make amenities mixed.
Value for Money
7.5
Multiple reviewers noted this was a cheap, last-minute option and good value for a one-night stay despite issues — value overall is relatively positive.
Food and Beverage
5.4
Food and beverage services at the property are not described in reviews; nearby food/grocery options are mentioned. Assigned target overall rating due to lack of on-site F&B detail.
Overall Experience
5.8
Aggregate impression: usable for budget, short stays with helpful staff and basic amenities, but significant cleanliness and room-quality issues reduce the overall experience.

it was a little grimey but just needed a safe place to stay for a weekend and it sufficed.
Pros:

nice location to sofi and dtla
owners were helpful and minded their business
needed something cheap last minute
free parking
location is a little sketchy but thats just LA
lots of food/grocery options around

Cons:

seen 1 roach but room next to us said their room was infested

had to buy wipes and air freshener because it
looked like they never wiped anything down. tables/sink/toilet were soo dirty.

room smelled bad of cigarettes so beware non smokers

the towels are very thin and bedding was…questionable but i brought my own blankets and towels id recommend doing the same

Se proprio non trovate altro
Cons:

Soggiorno di 2 notti. La camera già in pessime condizioni non è stata rifatta il secondo giorno. Le lenzuola avevano macchie di "olio". Odore di vernice all'interno. Ho chiesto al checkout di lasciare i bagagli (1 valigia e 2 zainetti) ma mi è stato risposto che non c'era posto

Clean room with all the amenities I needed for good value for a one night stay.
Pros:

Friendly staff. Surprised to have microwave, mini fridge and cable television considering the low rates. Smoking room available.

Cons:

The microwave popped loudly and flashed, prior guest likely put metal in there, no way for the staff to know though. Location is in a sketchy neighborhood but again that is just what it is.

Front office repeatedly said it worked, but it didn't.
The shower head sprayed water all over the bathroom.
The floor in the room was filthy.
