Door doesn’t work for 201
Pros:

We stayed in room 201 on the top floor, reserved a couple hours ahead of time. The room was average and staff were reasonably helpful and friendly. However, after arriving back to the hotel from being out our key did not work. Brought it down to the ‘office’ about 3 times before they came up to troubleshoot. Needless to say we spent about 20-25 minutes locked out of our room at midnight while the staff were able to reprogram the door.
There was no restroom we could use in the meantime, so the staff asked nearby random (drunk) guests to let us inside for their bathroom…. not the best solution but thankful we got inside nonetheless.
You get what you pay for, be mindful of 201 above the office.

Good for the price
Pros:

Over all is good for what we needed the space which was sleep, even tho the property looks bad from the outside, the room are actually modern looking, unfortunately we seen baby roaches, and a few things that were not clean. But I do recommend for a night or two.
Reception told us check out was at 9am not 11 like the add says that was unexpected.

Rude
Pros:

Guy running the front desk hides behind a fully tinted window, you have no idea who you're talking to.
Tried keeping my ID and credit card upon checkin. The room had flies and smelled like a dead hookers buttonhole.

At check out, we encountered more faceless, rude customer service.

The housekeeper was nice though.

Bronco Motel in South Central LA
Pros:

The room was clean and neat. Shower was nice, water pressure was superb. No bugs of any kind, at least we didnt see any. Staff was super friendly, very accomodating. We arrived a few hours early and were able to check in, no problem. Parking is inside so your vehicle is somewhat safe and at view. We booked a Non-Smoking room through Hotels.com, but Hotels.com placed us in a Smoking room on the itinerary. It smelled of nicotine, but a few sprays of perfume and running the air conditioner on helped. My low rating is due to Hotels.com Smoking booking and the area outside the hotel, not very safe.:(

Ok, but not the best neighborhood
Pros:

Just 1 night and booked very late. This was the cheapest we found and it wasn't luxurious but ok for a night. The neighborhood was a bit shabby, but we didn't feel unsafe when we walked to the nearest mall and found a restaurant!
