Pros:

No one at the counter when we showed up. Took 20 mins for them to get there. Door would not lock and no latch on the door. No hot water in the room. Carpet was very dirty.

Didn’t even stay because no one answered!
Pros:

Showed up for check in around 11:20pm - the site says we’re able to check in until midnight. No one answers our multiple rings of the bell and knocks on the window, even though we can hear noises coming from inside the office. This place sucks. I better be getting a refund from hotels.com.

A real dump
Pros:

Looks like a dump outside fades paint, old faded business sign, office is all the way in the back, no ice machine, horrible neighborhood, high priced, the lady at the front desk
keeps odd hours arrives late, leaves early, 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm are the office hours.
What IF you need front desk for any reason???

The customer service was good. The receptionist agreed to check us in earlier since we had arrived sooner and to check us out later as our flight was after the checkout time. The room was clean when we arrived. We did notify them for very small roaches that were seen and they told us that they were gonna take care of them asap. The area is a little shady but it was safe for us to park our rental car for seven nights there. We didn't notice anything unsafe there and if you're not interacting with the locals, you'll be fine. The location is close to most tourist attractions in the north of LA. The coffee maker was hard to use, and we ended up using the microwave oven to make coffee. Hope you enjoy your stay there.

Bed bugs!
Pros:

Average budget motel. I was happy enough until I woke up covered in bites! I pulled back the fitted sheet and saw the bugs. There were enough bites all over my body that there was no chance someone else hadn't already alerted the staff before I got there. When I told the man at the front desk, there was no apology, just a curt "I'll take care of it". Would not stay here again.

Budget budget
Pros:

Place is the only affordable place in Los Angeles during our stay. There is no interaction with the staff except for the (bullet proof) window where you get your key. I think they used paper as walls because you could overhear every conversation of the neighbours.
The reason for the bulletproof glass is probably the Sketchy neighbourhood. The thing is that it makes no sense to stay south of downtown Los Angeles because the traffic will make sure that every highlight of the city is at least 40 minutes drive. Would recommend travellers to stay west of the city for example Calabases because the travel time to Hollywood or Santa Monica is the same and you get a better accommodation for lesser money.

Pros:

Horrible hotel. Prostitutes everywhere, people renting by the hour, you can hear EVERYTHING, and I mean everything, happening outside or right next door. Bed was hard as a rock, tv got 5 channels, 3 of which were in Spanish, and the others were religious. We paid up front in full for 4 nights, went up to the room and immediately called back to the “office” and asked how we could get a refund. Do not stay here.

Pros:

there is no lobby, you will be check-in with a small window in the side of parking area. not feel comfortable with such check-in. there is an old man KNOCKS door at 1030 for each room. unless you enjoy the personal wake up at door, but this was the first time for me. I am not comfortable with such check-out notice.
