Best stay so far for budget friendly hotel in LAX area. Nice flooring, bathroom, bedding,decor. Nothing fancy but tasteful and clean. Like that I can turn on bathroom light without having a loud vent on at same time. Like that the flooring doesn’t look like the cheapest thing they had out a flooring outlet. Like that the bathroom is tiled and that the towels don’t look 100 years old. Didn’t use the pool or sauna but they looked inviting. Love the covered parking. Appreciated fresh fruit at breakfast and option for make your own waffles. My only complaint would be low water pressure in the shower. But I will definitely be returning.

We’ve stayed here a few times over the years, and it seems the quality and care has gone down. This time the room we were given had roaches so we were given another that was fine. Very stuffy rooms, can’t get it ventilated well. Nice staff but unfortunate breakfast.

Ok for a 1 night stay but as a woman traveling alone with a child I didnt like that the dead bolt in the room door didn"t work. Staff said that it doesn't need to work as door auto locks but I disagree.

My experience was without trouble. Some issues in previous reviews were evident: yes, the bed creaks, yes, the parking is $10, yes, the facilities are pretty bare bones. But! they had my reservation properly, the parking garage had open spaces, I walked to dinner and Starbucks, location was great for the beach.

The front desk man Kevin was horrible! He has no hospitable bone in his body! He yells and raises his voice because it is obvious he hates his job and guests. I asked questions and he threatened to cancel my reservation. I asked for my receipt and told me he would call the police after I took a picture of my receipt. UNACCEPTABLE. I said, go ahead I will complain on his harrassment.
