My experience was fantastic!!! The lady that made my reservations became my friend right away. My Granddaughter was in a play at Yada. She was the lead in Peter Pan. I wanted to stay somewhere so we could be close to the theater. The lady at the hotel got so excited and gave us a discount. When we got there she came and introduced herself and we became friends, she called me Grandma the whole time I was there. I loved it !!!!The accommodations at this hotel were wonderful, loved the rooms(AND SO CLEAN). Everyone that worked there was so nice. Loved that you can walk to many eateries, and they were so good. I would stay there again and again. Free parking was a plus. They offered help to load the car too!! Signed Grandma!!! read more

I had such a wonderful stay here during my trip to LA. We were in town for a wedding and this hotel was perfect. It's walking distance to The Grove and plenty of restaurants. The people that worked there were so nice - from the front desk to the cleaning staff. Everyone was very accommodating and always chatting us up. They have a small pool located right beside Attitude Cafe (which is delicious, by the way). We had rooms on the first floor so the cute patios all connected outside. I would definitely stay here again! Rooms were clean and decently sized. read more

This hotel is right next to the grove and in the middle of basically everything. It's easy and convenient to get to places and the parking is free which is a plus! Our room came with an outside patio with seating which was nice as well. The front desk receptionists were great and also very accommodating! I would definitely come back here when i'm out in LA. read more

Small, boutique hotel located near Fairfax Farmers Market and other downtown attractions (LaBrea Tar Pits, Hollywood Bowl). Our party were treated very well by the staff - especially by the front desk staff!! They even allowed us to park in the employees parking spaces to accommodate a special needs person in our party. Room was small but clean - had a small fridge and a rotary phone! Price was fair and there was a restaurant in the hotel that served great breakfasts and lunches (open 8 am to 2 pm). All in all, a very enjoyable stay. read more

This review is overdue. I stayed back at the end of March. It's a very cozy property with super friendly and helpful staff. If you're looking for high-end boutique, this is not the place. If you're looking for comfy beds, clean rooms, and excellent location at a fair price, this is a great place! read more

The Lodge n the cafe take care of my family. whenever my father comes in town they take our reservations months ahead n make sure he gets what he needs He is 89 He loves the pool n the food at the cafe Thank you staff from the bottom of my heart read more

Was just looking for a no frills place to crash that was close to the Tar Pits,when we lucked into this cozy,modernist gem. Honestly,I was expecting a dump by its low/moderate room rates and location but boy was I in for a shock.The rooms were squeaky clean,spacious and full of post modern eye candy.The staff service was excellent. There's a plethora of great restaurants nearby.There is a pool! A few words of advice,you get so much for so little at PPL there are a few draw backs. Do not rent on the street(3rd) side of the building,it is very noisy being a route to Cedar Sinai hospital. Also,I cannot vouch for there being ice,as there was no bucket.Parking is going to be a challenge as well.Give yourself time to check in and park as the entrance is not obvious.Still based on the totality of the experience and the bang for the buck,I'd say this is one of the best economy digs in LA. read more

Small boutique in a great location. The room was small but clean. We stayed in a Queen deluxe room which had a desk, lounge chair, mini fridge and a coffee maker. Parking and wifi is free which is a plus. Friendly staff and great location. It did not have an iron or an iron board which was a bummer because that was very much needed. I can't say that I got what I paid for but I suppose overall it was decent. read more

Fabulous location and value. The shaded parking spot 15 min walk from the Grove/Farmers Market is worth half the cost. read more

Park Plaza Lodge - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This hotel is dirty and unsafe. There are no security latches on the hotel room doors any the cleaning practices in between guests is questionable at the least. The hotel smells strongly of chemicals because they are covering the smell of mold/mildew. If you are sensitive to strong chemical smells I highly advise to stay away. We found hair all over the desk and chair, and we found dirty sheets on the bed. The management refused to respond on this matter and are extremely unprofessional for being in the hospitality industry. read more

Don't let the cute facade fool you. We left immediately after checking in as the room was disgusting and dirty. The worst part was the bad smell of mold that they were trying to cover up with copious amounts of fabuloso, which only made it worse. Air conditioning struggling. Now it's days later and they are unresponsive and refusing to issue a refund. Also, Parking is in a sketchy alleyway, not safe and barely any room between cars. 1/10. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, there is a middle aged karen that is judgmental. I intended on lodging at this establishment and she approached my car very degrading and passive aggressive. Fortunately in this area there is plenty of other places to stay at. read more

We pulled up in the drive & greeted like we were celebrities , Melissa told us where to park & treated us like family. The mid-century renovation is very clean & comfortable, perfect place to stay for the art exhibit we were to attend. After breakfast at DuPar's we returned for a quick swim, delighted to find it was large enough to actually swim a few laps. The employees were very helpful with anything we needed. The "Attitude"restaurant served delicious lunches poolside. Our room was very clean & comfortable & quiet and very secure. The little outside balconies are very secure with barbed wire disguised by plants. It's nice to enjoy fresh air. It's on the top of our list to return soon! read more

Park Plaza Lodge - Melissa & Miss Ruth, a wonderful team! - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They appear to be finishing up a remodel and it looks very nice. Rooms are basic but roomy, and have mini-fridge and lavazza coffee/espresso maker (!) in the room. Rooms seem pretty quiet but if people talking in the hallway, it carries a bit. Staff very friendly and helpful. They even brought ice to the room. Would stay there again when visiting attractions in the area. read more

My son and I were visiting Los Angeles for the first time and chose to stay here because of the location. The staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home! Menissa, the co-owner, was especially wonderful! She made sure our stay was top notch. The first morning we arrived at the cafe early, and Menissa let us in to wait for the cook to arrive and brewed us a pot of coffee and gave us great insight on how to get around and what to see. Talking with her made us feel like we were old friends, not like just some random room number passing through! Our room was small but clean and decorated nicely. The beds were very comfortable and the staff cleaned our room each morning which is an amenity I loved and have not found much during COVID. Only drawback was no microwave in room for re-heating refrigerated leftovers. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting LA! read more

It was a pretty decent place for the price that I had paid especially for just a one-nighter. I stayed here because I was running the Run to Remember LA half marathon which was taking place at the Grove on Sunday. It's only about a block or 2 from the Grove. Traffic is a bitch in this area, so if all possible, I suggest you walk. If you don't want to go even that far, there was a decent restaurant, Fiddler's Bistro, right next door. The two people that I came across that were working at the front desk were both really nice and friendly. The room had all of the necessary amenities which included a small mini fridge and a safe inside the closet. I found that there was a cigarette burn on the comforter otherwise it looked clean. The towels in the bathroom were a bit suspect. I couldn't tell if they were entirely clean as they had some long hairs on it. They smelled okay. Here's a quick and important tip for the bathroom: hot water doesn't come out until you turn on the timer for the heater which was next to the light switch. read more

Highly recommend this hotel a diamond in the rough. Free parking and internet, very clean remodeled with with brand new air conditioner. They also have a restaurant with very good breakfast and Pete's coffee right across the street if you want a Mocha All the staff were super friendly and helpful, the owner is extremely fortunate to have people like Diane running the show while the boss is away. Support your women owned business Will stay here again read more

This is not a fancy hotel. There's no concierge, no breakfast, no happy hour,... there isn't even coffee in the room. So you have to evaluate it for what it is: basic accommodations in a convenient location. The staff are very nice, and the location is superb. I enjoyed walking to the Farmers Market and the Grove, and to the art museum on Wilshire. Parking is free and the spaces are covered. My room was clean, if a little sparse. The bathroom fixtures appeared new. If I need to stay in this area again, I'll definitely come back. read more

Clean, a/c works great, great location, free parking, nice staff. Beds were quite firm, softer for us would've been better. Towels were worn and had some stains. What we were looking for this trip was location! Overall great place to stay. It was in walking distance to everywhere we needed to be. read more

This is nice Hotel just for Location Coz it's near by tourist area. But if you looking for service or more than room for sleep you should pick somewhere. Bed in every room I think is a queen size bed (that small) but is fine. But the big problem it's about Pillows. This Hotel should change all "Pillows" in rooms Coz the pillow so very very bad I can say. I don't know how long you use for that but I think is time for change!! read more

Park Plaza Lodge - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I recently stayed 3 nights at this oasis on 3rd street. My room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and quickly took care of any requests I made. Free parking is available in the alley behind/under the hotel. When I checked in, I was initially concerned about the street noise, but it quieted down nicely at night. Any remaining noise was blocked out by running the A/C fan, and I was able to sleep well. The restaurant next door (Fiddler's Bistro) is not to be missed! (See their reviews for more info.) The Lodge is within easy walking distance to the Grove and Farmer's Market at Fairfax. Walking a little further down 3rd, you will find some popular clubs, restaurants and more shopping. I would definitely stay at the Park Plaza Lodge again! read more

Stayed here twice and I'm left with mixed feelings about this place. First time we stayed we were on the first floor next to the pool. Although I wouldn't personally swim in there, it wasn't terrible looking & our room didn't smell like chlorine either. The finishing in that bathroom shower was a granite-like finish which made it feel a little more classy than it looked from the outside. There are very basic toiletries (generic soap & body wash), but I don't tend to use hotel toiletries anyway. It's a decent sleep in a good location. You do hear footsteps from the upper floor though. Second time, we had a room on the second floor. Be warned...there are no elevators or ramps in this hotel. Heavy luggage was an issue for us, but the reception person offered to personally assist us. Also, if you have to get something in your vehicle, there is a shortcut to the alley, but it locks from the inside, so you'd have to enter through the main entrance to get back in. The room we had had a tile shower & only soap as the toiletries, and a really loud air conditioner with alley views & an unplugged fridge. Around 3am there was loud banging on our door with drunk yelling & trying to get in (wrong room). That being said, the doors are sturdy. These were 2 very different experiences, so I can see why there are mixed reviews. Overall, linens & towels, and surfaces are clean, staff is friendly & courteous, cable works, wi-fi was not an issue and the showers were hot with good pressure. This hotel met our most basic accommodation needs for an affordable price in a great location (walking distance to the Grove). read more

Arrived last night after a 6 hour flight from nyc to LA to attend a wedding for the weekend. The only reason why there was an extra star was bc the front desk was friendly and helpful. If you want a cheap rate and don't mind: 1) Shady hallway (crappy dormitory basement like) 2) Dirty carpets (overall we felt the room was unclean) 3) View of a brick wall 4) One small shampoo/conditioner and one bar of soup (3 girls to a room, do you think that's enough?) 5) No blow dryer (but our other room luckily had) 6) TV reception was horrible The only decent thing was the bathroom with marble countertop and a stand up shower. Other than that, we try not to put anything on the floor or walk barefoot ewwww. Maybe it was bad luck and we got a bad room, but would not be booking here again. read more

THIS IS THE WORST HOTEL I'VE EVER STAYED AT. I wish I could give this hotel 0 stars but 1 is the lowest rating I could give. Don't waste your money here, definitely look elsewhere. The customer service was the absolute worst. My roommates and I stayed here on Halloween night, a Tuesday. The manager at the front desk had it out for us since the moment we arrived. First, we were extremely disappointed with the parking having to squeeze in the tightest spots in an alley! We checked in, then proceeded to walk to our room on the first floor. The moment I turned the corner to walk down the hallway, I thought I had just entered an American Horror Story episode. When we booked the room, we said that there was going to be 4 people in the room with two beds. We arrived with 5 since we all came together, and one was going to stay at her friends after the Halloween festivities were over. We get inside of the room, and not even a second of being inside the phone rings. It's the guy at the front desk saying, "There's only supposed to be 4 people, why do I see 5." Not like that's creepy or anything feeling like your being stalked. He let us know there are cameras in the hallway but we made it clear we obviously weren't sleeping yet, and we didn't know that friends couldn't get ready together. We've probably only been in the hotel room for 30 minutes and we're barely talking to one another since we were all busy getting ready. He calls us again to say he's been receiving complaints from our room all night when we haven't been loud AT ALL. In normal hotels, they call you when they receive the first complaint to give you a heads ups, but not him. So we left and put our stuff in the trunk of the car because at this point, we did not trust him. Fast forward to the end of the night, we're back at the hotel. Due to some circumstances, our friend was not able to stay at her friends, so she was going to stay with us. On the contract that we signed, might I add, it said if there's more than 4 people in the room, it was going to be a $25 charge per person. We wanted to pay the extra $25 but the guy at the front desk wouldn't let us even though it was in the signed contract! So unfortunately, our friend had to sleep OUTSIDE in the CAR!! We've only been back for maybe 10 minutes and everyone is pretty much sleeping since they're intoxicated. And we get a security guard to knock on our door. He tells us that the same guy at the front desk has been receiving complaints about our room for the noise all night. Might I also add, WE WEREN'T EVEN THERE ALL NIGHT! The reason for the noise complaint was the room a few doors down. We kindly showed the security guard and told him that room had 2 pit bulls barking all night, and they turned the TV on super loud to cancel out the dog barking. Also, you're not even allowed to have dogs in the room. Even the security guard knew it wasn't us. We went ahead and talked to the manager at the front desk again, and told him it's the room with the dogs, he clearly didn't care and said it was us. The weird part is, he had to unlock the front door for us when we got back, so even he knew it wasn't us, but wanted to blame us anyway. This hotel is also family owned, and it's the worst establishment ever. I'm going to let hotels.com know to take this place off of their website. read more

This Hotel is highly recommend. They have amazing service, the rooms are clean and modern, and the employees are extremely nice and friendly. I really enjoyed staying here and I would definitely recommend getting this hotel. It is also in West Hollywood which makes you close to every tourist spot and close to a lot of stores as well. Once again, Highly recommend staying here. read more

Clean, safe and beautifully renovated rooms. Staff was extremely friendly, especially manager Melissa. Great location to all LA museums as well as the Grove and Farmer's Market. Can't wait to return again!!! read more

Location is what your paying for. We stayed here to go to a concert to to the El Rey theater, so it was really close. This hotel is being renovated right now. The room was ok but really had no services. No elevator, no parking, and no extras. Rather would have another option to stay. read more

Very nice hotel, close to the end of the renovation project. Very nice European theme. Comfortable beds, good shower with large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Good A/C. Yeah, we had to plug the fridge in, no big deal. Very easy FREE parking. No continental breakfast nor coffee pot in the room, so what! If there has to be something that wasn't great, then the bright overhead lights in the room weren't dimmable. For my old eyes, it was bright; to my kids, it was fine. Didn't use the pool, but it was open and looked clean. Coffee Bean is just across the street, so coffee and pastries are available nearby. The manager couldn't have been more attentive, responsive, and friendly! It was quiet and everyone felt safe. Give it a try, it's priced in line with any other quality hotel in the area. We'll be back!! read more

Rude manager type when we checked in . Restaurant has been closed down but when I called last week they gave me its hours etc. No soap or shampoo holder in shower. No extra toilet paper. No coffee maker or microwave. Fridge unplugged so had to pull it out and climb under to plug in. Plumbing issues in bathroom. Having stayed several times the renovations are decent. Good Thai restaurant half a block away. read more

The Park Plaza Lodge Hotel is a budget saving value in a Sea of Beautiful Hotels with high prices. More like a dated 'Motel' from earlier days; the Rooms are clean and odor free. Staff around the clock are friendly, Professional and accommodating. No traffic at night; therefore, reasonably quiet. I'd stay here again. Small fridge, Safe. Coffee Maker in Room but Coffee Bean is 40 steps away. Fiddlers Restaurant next door serves a very good Breakfast all Day with a wide selection and a full Cocktail Bar. 7-11s at the end of the block. read more

Customer service rude, and unhelpful. Waitress in restaurant couldn't even tell us how to get to rooms. Outdated small and pricey for what you get. Would not recommend been here a week stayed multiple places this was by far the worst. The shampoo was used and refilled, 1 was only 3/4 full the other the "sealed for your safety" seal was broken and moved. After sleeping on a rock hard pillows, we discovered on morning it was because it was actually 2 old worn out pillows in 1 pillow case. Carpet was filthy! Put a towel down after a shower when I lifted it the bottom was solid brown. If you want a tiny room for high cost, and no microwave, no continental breakfast and no view this is your place. Very disappointed. read more

Love this place. But it's always sold out. You need to book a head of time if you want to stay here. Clean and decent unlike other place.

Didn't know what to expect from this lodge since it looked kind of hollywood made studio for a scary movie. I was very surprised by the service as it was really good. Check in is at 3pm and we showed up at 9am. They accommodated us and let us check in early, entering the room was very refreshing to see a big comfy bed, a recliner chair, in case you bring back food they also have a little table with two chairs. The bathroom was a good size and the shower was dope! Burke Williams style.. One thing I noticed was the feel of almost a home room, you feel like your at your house. The location is really good because you can drive pretty much to any major location, the Grove is 5 minutes away, Melrose shops are 5 minutes away. Memoir Tattoo is also 5 minutes away; but have appointment. read more

I only stayed here 1 night to be near my son & it cost &189+. The biggest issue was the noise from the AC that never let up do U had a poor sleep. Also, the safe was locked from the previous dweller and I had no time to deal with it. I have a 36" waist & could hardly fit the skimpy towels around me & the pillows were tiny & thin. This hotel is a @dive". Avoid it!! read more

Great location has a restaurant right downstairs. And down the street from the huge upscale mall The Grove. Everything closes early there 11pm but still nice to see the Christmas decorations. Ample free parking (it keeps going the length of the building), internet, fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, and a HEATER in the bathroom--nice old school surprise, but no tub, just a shower stall. The bathroom was recently remodeled and the rooms also. Carpets were recent but had stains, looked like wine spills nothing toxic. Staff very friendly, don't know where the bad reviews are coming from. Reservations not automated and handled by the front desk. They take your request and call back to confirm. No elevator, true. Get a room facing the interior, the front desk accommodated us and the next day staff gave us a late check-out (12 noon) at no charge. If you need to stay in this area, go here. No bed bugs or dust mites, just clean and inexpensive. They even have a pool (unheated). read more

We stayed here for the fantastic location, blocks from Farmers Market, LACMA and the Grove. But then, we stepped foot inside the "hotel." How is it that the authorities allow this place to operate? The rooms are skuzzy (bring flip-flops to wear) and if it's winter, you will have to run the a/c all night just to keep warm. But then the noise will get to you and you'll wake up wondering if the night will ever end. Open the curtains to see the cinderblock wall 3 feet away. Listen to your neighbor watching TV at 4 AM. Hungry? The restaurant is boarded up, abandoned. Same with the old pool, which is now just a gathering pond for tree leaves. We checked out 3 nights early, and sucked up the loss as a learning experience. The lesson we learned? Avoid this place. If the owners invested a few hundred bucks, the place could be great. But for the present, they're just riding on its location. read more

Beware! This place will post a preauthorization charge to your credit card that is equivalent to the price of the room. Your credit card will look like it has been charged twice. Staff at the PPL will tell you this is a standard procedure and do nothing about it. BULLSH*T! I've stayed at hotels all over the world and never had this happen before. Your credit card company will tell you that it takes 5 to 7 business days to 'drop off' your pending charges. More BULLSH*T! P.S. Cockroaches the size of VW's in the bathroom! YUK! read more

I wish I could give this place no stars, I showed up and found there parking was behind the building in a sketchy ally.. not a huge deal.. get to my room and there is sand on top of the comforter and hair.
