Looks reasonable, low cost, works if you are just passing through. When you look closer you can notice the flaws, dirt, age, quality. Rooms need updated bedding and towels, otherwise it worked.

Female front desk agent is a natural for the hospitality business. Her ability to make quick, guest-centric decisions which also benefit the company and build guest loyalty was such a relief in this current state of the business. Thank you !

This property is very conveniently located and inexpensive! The staff are also very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for in terms of the actual property. The rooms are old, outdated, and not the cleanest. There were also plenty of broken things in the rooms, one being the safety lock on the door. If I was traveling alone, I would not have felt safe here because of that, so keep that in mind.

a room was booked for a resident whos apartment was going under renovations but since the resident didn't have an ID they wouldn't let her stay in the room. However the hotel kept the full payment of the room and wont refund any of the money paid up front. The resident never stepped foot in the hotel room.

Great for families. The staff is very friendly and accommodating (printing stuff and mailing post for us). Room we were in was very clean, looked refurbished and had everything we needed. We felt like home. Will book with them again on our next trip. The Inn is on a clean and safe residential street in Koreatown. It's got a lot of bus stops around for easy access to downtown area or Citadel outlets (use Citadel's free bus line 600), or short Uber drive (prepare to pay extra $10 hidden booking fees on top of Uber price in the app). The Pico blvd. around the corner is full of excellent budget restaurants (besides Korean, you can try Salvadorian El Trabol's best in town Pupussas, and Mexican Tacos El Compita's delicious Tortas).

This place is absolutely amazing and I would stay here any time! Wendy, deep and Jim saved my as*! I thought I was going to be sleeping outside as the place I originally booked- stylish hostel- did not honour my stay- I showed up and no one was at the property and no one answered the door or the phone. After wondering around LA by myself, as a young female, for 4 hours and contacting Expedia/orbitz to help with my situation, Expedia set me up with this place and they were so helpful and accommodating! The room was clean and had everything needed, I am so grateful for them! Would highly recommend!

This property felt very safe, with good off-street parking, and it was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The coffee machine in the front lounge was worthy of the Ritz. The staff was lovely to us, and overall, this was an exceptional value for the money. We were attending an event in Santa Monica, and this was convenient to Olympic, Pico, and the 10.

Pros: Parking was free and safe. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was convenient and we could easily reach most places. Cons: The sink was outside the bathroom( I don’t know the other rooms). The A/C was old school and noisy. The towels were clean but had a strange smell.
