Getting in and out of the parking lot safely is tricky because there is limited space to turn. The rooms have clothing irons attached to rusted chains, partly open battery cover on the smoke detector (still functional), and styrofoam blocks stuffed in front of the cable box to prevent removal. Don't get me wrong, the linens and room are completely clean. But it's like visiting a motel from 1997.

Cheapest and I mean the cheapest place in town. Greeted by name on arrival. Room is sanitized with no smells, no stains, no bugs. The owner is clearly working very hard to keep this motel in business despite some unsavory guests in the area. Don't be surprised to see a big list of rules in the office stating no pets, no visitors, no cooking in room, no porn movies...

The owner seemed exceptionally paranoid about everything - made the clients feel like potential criminals. He treated everyone like they were little children who needed to be scolded. On the morning of checkout, he paced the parking lot (despite how small it was) for three hours - like he was just waiting to catch someone at something.

Air Conditioned room.

Older gentlemen who checked me in was pretty rude and and intrusive. Never stated bicycles were not allowed before I made my reservation and he charged me $10 extra to keep my expensive and clean bicycle inside the room. The next morning he knocked on the door at 08:55 demanding I checkout by 9 (even though the sign says 10:00). It's not the first bad experience I've had at these cheap motels in Los Angeles area. Just spend the extra $20 and get a real room at a nicer hotel.

Decor was modern and nice. Room appeared fairly clean.

We wanted a non smoking place. We slept in a smoking bed, it was awful. We booked 3 nights, we stayed only 2 nights. The smell was horrible. Our clothes still stinked 3 days after we left the room.. Plus we had cockroaches.

Hotel manager was creepy and micromanging, he made me feel unwelcome and unsafe in my room because he kept bothering me everyday about little things. Long list of rules not normal for a motel. Blankets were thin, parking lot small

Location was close to downtown long beach. The room was good size, there was hot water and bed was firm.

The parking is not good because the parking is such that you have to back up the car into the street (Pacific Coast Highway) which is potentially dangerous. The location is in an industrial location but I knew that beforehand. I paid $40 for an unspecified reason unless it was for the key, although the owner was clear that he was not taking any deposit from me. So what was the unrefunded $40 for? There was no microwave in the room.

The room was good. The bed and space in the room was good. The bathroom which were separate from the bedroom was very nice.

Disgusting. I’ve never seen a hotel so dirty, stained pillows, dirty soiled sheets, no fitted sheet just one flat. bugs hair dirt everywhere. Owner forced himself in room, told me if I wanted clean sheets I’d have to wash them or he’ll call the cops. Promised a refund and was forced out after the first night, charged for 2 nights no refund. Missed dodger game lost 400 for that. He was harassing us for 4 hours straight.

I didn't like the management experience, he was demanding at the beginning and at the end of the stay. He also was so demanding on where to park and investigating my car and looking thru the glass window like if he was a police and saying if we had pets in the room, he was knocking on the door and harassing my wife when I was in the restroom. He was banging at the door at the end of the stayed at 9:30 in the morning like if he was the police to hurry up and leave. Who in the right mind does that to there customers. Me and my wife knew the time of checking out. He was harassing all customers and standing outside the parking lot waiting for everyone to leave before 10:00 am. I don't recommend this place. If I was you I'll go elsewhere.

I like the room and the bed was comfy.

Way overpriced, should be 50$. I would say its a halfway house motel. Room was not clean, hair was all over the sheets. The ac/ heater was so dirty i slept in the cold, because i didnt want to turn it on. There was a chair in the room that looked like a biohazard. Literally had a giant mass of something encrusted on the cushion, right in the middle and a serious dirt layer on the metal parts. Like it was pulled from the alley behind the location. The staff was very, very rude!. I understand why because the other people that were staying there and in the area, but thats not everyone. 0 out of 10, or -5

Location was close to appointments

At the time of booking the reservation on booking.com, the manager greeted me with "Only Accept Credit Cards No Cash and also if card given on booking.com is not valid or does not goes for pre authorization reservation will be cancelled by default." I thought there could have been a slightly more welcoming greeting. On my first night at the motel, I stepped out of my room to grab something from my car; but I forgot my room key. The manager charged me $20 to let me back into my room.

It was the least expensive motel available. . . . The manager allowed me to check in very early (7:30 AM) on my first day and park my car there for both days.
