Read MoreI know the phrase “you get what you pay for” and I’m not very picky, nor was I looking for something extravagant. I never write reviews but this experience was so notably unpleasant that I thought it would be helpful to others to know what you’re getting into. Left a summary at the bottom. I’ll immediately get into the cons:
CONS
1) Very dirty rooms. Stained floors. Filthy office chairs (literally looked like several people stepped on the seat or something. It was comically gross, I’m not exaggerating). There was random trash, hair, candy, wrappers underneath the bed. The blanket that came with the room had a large dirt mark underneath it, so we had to ask for a replacement. We lifted the sheets from the mattress to see if they were dirty, revealing a mattress with 2 large, brown stains on the surface. We asked for 3 bedsheets to cover the mattress just to cope with the stain.
2) The fridge barely worked. Depending on the person, you might not care. It smelled bad and made everything we placed in it also smell bad, including water bottles. It cooled items just barely lower than room temperature. We had to toss some leftovers we placed in it.
3) The shower was barebones but seemed fine initially. Then a few minutes after turning it on, the water kept spurting and randomly stopping.
4) If you need to do any video calls, you have to pay an extra $7 per day despite the normal WiFi being free. Again, this one may not matter to you unless you’re working remotely.
5) Suspicious looking people constantly hovering around the entrance or sitting on the hallway floor in front of rooms. Bumped into a few kind people, but a lot of the people there kept staring at us. This isn’t directly the hotel’s fault but it made us feel like we had to be on alert at all times.
PROS
1) Staff was VERY kind and accommodating when we had requests.
2) The building neighbors a VERY good Latino breakfast restaurant
3) The building is in walking distance to an Italian restaurant, a sushi restaurant and a Ralphs.
Summary: I booked this place because I was traveling for work reasons and didn’t wanna break the bank for a 4-day stay. In hindsight, I wish I’d just booked a better spot and thrown it on a credit card. Filthy rooms, bad fridge, stained bed and dirty blankets. The only redeeming qualities were the nice reception staff and the fact that you can easily escape your room to visit the shopping/restaurant plaza within walking distance. If you’re not desperate, I would not recommend this place.
