I genuinely cannot fathom why this hotel charges so much. No exaggeration, this is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in.
The room wasn't just old – I can actually deal with old – the problem was it was unbelievably dirty. The carpet looked like it had been peeled off a homeless person and laid on the floor. The furniture was as old as something you'd find in a roadside motel from decades ago; the whole room felt dilapidated and clearly hadn't been properly maintained.
The bed was barely sleepable, but the duvet and bedding were absolutely horrendous, feeling incredibly cheap. The blinds were almost impossible to open, making the entire room gloomy and oppressive. Staying there felt more like being in prison than a hotel.
Even more ridiculous, many basic things were broken. The phone was out of order, so you could only use speakerphone. There wasn't even a simple 'Do Not Disturb' sign for the door. For the price they charge, this level of quality isn't just 'old,' it's outright negligence.
The whole place felt like a cheap motel trying to masquerade as a hotel.
Of course, it wasn't entirely without its merits. A few staff members at the front desk were genuinely warm and helpful, which was the only normal part of this stay. However, there were also other staff who looked utterly fed up the entire time, as if guests were an inconvenience.
All in all, I deeply regret booking this hotel. I had planned to stay longer in Los Angeles, but in the end, I couldn't stand it and had to switch hotels last minute. My biggest mistake was booking seven nights upfront.
Seriously, it's not worth the price at all.
