Good

Liked: Location

Poor

Liked: The property is very close to Universal Studios and Hollywood attractions.
Disliked: It is quite rundown and not as nice as the pictures seem. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything outside your room.

It's good for a short...

Liked: We liked that the motel was a couple of blocks from the Metro as well as Starbucks and lots of restaurant options. It was fun to be able to walk to the Walk of Fame. The motel's pool felt great on a hot day, and I liked that there was a locked gate to get into the motel complex. My daughter forgot her swimsuit, and we were able to buy a cheap replacement at the Marshall's that is across from the Metro. Also, the air conditioning at the motel was great.
Disliked: I don't think I'd stay in this location with young children. It's definitely in the heart of big city so you step around homeless people, see people smoking weed on the streets and hear sirens during the night. The front desk people were not friendly but the cleaning staff was. There was no coffee machine or coffee/tea in the room.

Poor

Disliked: key didn't work. staff was gone when i arrived so i had to wait an hour to check in. gate for garage was out of order, had to wait to park the car. next day i asked to use the pool at check out and was told pool was off limits after check out.

Rooms in urgent need of...

Liked: The hotel itself isn?t bad for this price range, it?s in a fairly safe neighborhood and close to a metro station, and it also offers free private parking, good wifi connection and also has a small swimming pool in the courtyard which was ok.
Disliked: We spent two nights at this hotel and I can honestly say it was the worst room we?ve ever stayed in. Unfortunately upon arrival we were given the last available room - which was probably the worst one (although we had booked many months in advance) and we were warned about traffic noise since the room faces the front street. Traffic was the least of its problems though: the room didn?t look AT ALL like those seen on the websites: very old and run down overall, broken furniture (the headboard of one of the two beds was detached and was carelessly placed against the wall), the walls were repainted in patches as to cover nasty stains and looked overall dirty, part of a tile and the soap stand in the shower were broken off, the bathroom door?s wood was peeling off. All of this would be still acceptable if the room had been clean though, which wasn?t the case at all: we found many hair clogs, dust, dirt and crumbs on the floor, the toilet and the shower looked as they hadn?t been cleaned at all, and a lot of tiny flying bugs came out of the shower drain, which was extremely disgusting. Luckily they did leave a spray which we used to sanitize somewhat the shower. In any case, at least our room (the one directly above the reception) is in dire need of an urgent makeover and should never be rented at all. Overall, for us it was a very unpleasant experience, not recommended at all.

Hotel needs much improvement, would...

Liked: No meal was included in this stay..
Disliked: Check in required that all guests show ID and check in at the same time unlike better hotels we've stayed in. The room was too warm and the a/c was too noisy. There were no hangars on the coat rack. Room entry key card didn't work and required that the Front Desk person go up with us to open the door.

Passable

Liked: Good location and free parking
Disliked: It was not even clean! Toilet was a horror and was left unclean from previous customer. Leaking toilets too. Was quite disgusting staying here

New manager is giving good...

Disliked: noisy

I did not like

Liked: one thing is what it shows in photos and another reality, the toilet did not work, the card to enter the room was downloaded and did not open, there was no parking
Disliked: just the location
