The sheets/blankets are so dirty it's disgusting and the bathroom sink is nasty. So I took 2 stars away. However, the lobby is super cute. You can tell they really tried to make the lobby inviting and adorable. read more

Front desk lady has awesome customer service! The hotel lobby also looks trendy and colorful! Hotel amenities include swimming pool, ping pong table, outdoor patio, ice machine and community microwave next to the lobby! The room I got was spacious and equipped with a mini fridge, coffee maker and safe box! My issues with this place is there is a $200 DEPOSIT charged at check in! On top of this there is also a $20 RESORT fee charged as well! There is No fitness center and No laundry room at this hotel either! The desk in my room had some stains as well! Also there is No microwave, No flat iron and No ironing board in the room! Hotel lobby is on the 1st floor so you have to use the elevator which is slow at times so you could be standing at the front entrance for a couple of minutes waiting to get to the lobby! read more

We arrived and the lobby looked nice but that was about it. We went into our first room and there was a massive cockroach on the fire sprinkler. We didn't check the rest of the room. We asked for a refund because where there is one then there are more. The one person running the hotel said he could only change the room. We checked the next room and there were more bugs under the bed and we could hear every car passing by. We checked out and went to a different hotel near by within 20 mins of checking in. They also did not refund the $20 parking fee or the $20 hotel service fee. I had gotten a picture of the insect as proof. Also, i wouldn't recommend walking around the hotel very far. read more

Great stay! Very clean. It's a safe neighborhood and close to many event venues. The front desk is very friendly, helpful, and available 24 hours. They have indoor parking, a swimming pool, and Uber Eats can deliver to the room door. We didn't know they have pet-friendly rooms on request. Next time we will bring our dog. read more

I stayed at the Shelter hotel for 5 nights for a short get a way and I was pleasantly surprised by the great experience. I didn't expect luxury but it sure felt like it. My room super clean and spotless, the rooms are very well kept. My room had very nice hardwood floor, big window which you can open and get fresh air, flat screen tv with HBO, mini fridge, safe, and hair dyer. Parking cost $35 extra per night but there's a lot of street parking in the area. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There's a food options walking distance which stay open late. Most importantly I felt safe and secured. The parking is gated and the front door always shut, you have to be buzzed in to be let in. Thanks you Shelter Hotel for the great hospitality! Sure will be back next time I'm in LA! read more

Rude. Garbage. Worst customer service of all time. Visited a friend who was in town on business. After he went to bed, I went into hallway to call an Uber. While Uber was on its way (maybe 5 minutes) front desk guy comes up, informs me that I "can't stand in hallways" and that I "have to exit." What??? This is a hotel. Have literally never ever heard this before in my life. Ever. At any hotel I've stayed in or visited anywhere in the world. Rude, unprofessional, and gross. read more

Imagine being turned away from renting a room when your RV just burned to the ground. With your wife and four-year-old, who had been up all night and just escaped a harrowing experience with their lives. With three small dogs in tow, after being told repeatedly on the phone it wouldn't be a problem- if you just paid hundreds of dollars more for the privilege. If this is what you're looking for in your motel, then look no farther - you've found your dream accommodations - or lack there of in this anti-shelter business. At 3am the engine died as my family slept in our Ford E-450 converted bus. As I pulled to the shoulder first smoke, then flames began to lick out from under the hood. The RV was loaded up with belongings on the roof, bikes and motorcycles front and back, like a modern interpretation of a moment from a "Grapes Of Wrath" chapter. The fire exploded out of control while I used up the only two fire extinguishers. I rushed back inside the RV to wake my family as fire began to lick front of the RV, closing off escape from the only doors. I kicked out a window at the back my wife then wiggled out through. My 4yr old was crying about losing all his Christmas presents more than the fire which now towered over the front of what had been our home as we moved to a new house in Mexico. It took 3 hours for the fire to be extinguished. Ride hailing companies confirmed again and again someone would come and take us to Shelter, but never arrived. Finally CHP pushed a driver to show up. We were exhausted and traumatized but from repeated phone calls to the night clerk, we were reassured a bed, room was waiting and our dogs could join us. We were soon disappointed. When we arrived, the Night Shift was long gone & the day crew could find no record of our reservation or needs. The night front desk manager was called at home, he confirmed our story, but the new manager was not impressed. Only if we paid over $500 for a single bedroom advertised for $140 could we stay the night. We had no choice, and reluctantly agreed. But the manager then demanded to know where our paperwork was? We reminded him it was in ashes being towed to an impound - REMEMBER? - that's why we were there. Incredibly, he declared that without IDs & the proper paperwork, it was a strict policy not to rent a room to people who were just dropped off. No exceptions!!!!! With a crying child, visibly shaken wife, we reluctantly went back on the road to find real actual shelter, with the few smoke tinged articles we had saved, hands darkened with soot fro fighting the emulation of all our possessions. We took solace we weren't the first family turned away from an Inn at Christmas. But our strong recommendation is to seek real shelter anyplace else. read more

Length of Stay: 6 nights Price: About 130$/night. WAY cheaper than any of the other 3+ star hotels in the area. Quality: Relatively modern hotel, everything was clean. Location: Very quiet location a block in from the main street and 2 blocks from the metro station. I'm not sure what other people were complaining about "sketchy" neighborhoods but they must have very high standards. This area has lots of other apartment buildings new and old. And there is a Korean market center a block away for you to buy snacks and drinks. There are also tons of restaurants/bars/cafes around the immediate area. Views: There are no views whatsoever, more of a residential location so you might as well be in the back corner where its quietest. Linens: The towels were always changed daily and the bed was always made daily as well. Very clean and comfortable. Snack bar: No snack bar, but they do offer coffee/tea and pastries in the morning. Amenities: There is a pool next to the lobby. Security: This hotel does not require cards to go up and down the elevator. The main reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because the front desk is technically on the 2nd floor. And the parking lot is where the elevator is, meaning everyone and anyone can bypass the front desk and just go up the elevator and roam the complex from the parking lot garage. This isnt very safe if you are coming home late as a single person, but again this is a very residential area as well and nothing happened to me personally for 6 nights here. Staff: They were lovely and very friendly. Overall: I would definitely recommend the Shelter hotel, its first of all very cheap (easily over 100$ cheaper per night) compared to the Normandie and Line hotel and provides you with the essentials and a very clean and modern room within the same 1-2 block radius. Its very well located and you will be able to explore all of Korea Town and get to the metro station to get around easily. read more

This is a beautiful hotel but the ppl who run it are very very cheap and not accommodating at all! I woke up a lol late for check out and they knocked on my door at least 10 times and yelled at me also they called me about 6 times and told me to leave the hotel after I kept explaining that I was packing my things to leave. I had a ton of stuff with me along with my service dog. Also make sure know how much they are holding in your card, because if you book this hotel they a third party and you don't have the 290 dollars that they hold on you card bc of all of their expensive fees. They will tell you you cannot stay and not give you ANY money back no matter how many days were paid for! Horrible customer service !!! read more

Absolutely terrible place to stay. They "upgraded" us to a different room which was incredibly cold and musty. Large crack through the window glass, taped up shoddily. We had to get a radiator to keep us warm the entire week because the heating in the room was broken. Even more, the front desk misled us with parking prices in addition to charging us extra nights. They did not offer any sort of apology instead brazenly telling us that it's our fault for misunderstanding. There is no responsibility for the actions of their employees. Parking on the street would have been easy enough for us as a former resident of the area. Do NOT come here unless you prefer terrible quality and service. read more

Woooowww how neat and beautiful is this hotel. What a treasure, the lovely colors and style of the entrance. Lupe and Louise were absolutely outstanding in helping us with our last minute booking.

First, parking fees plus service fees are 40USD per night! This is not a 5 star hotel, the room is just okay and it's not valet parking, neither. Idk why I should be charged for this amount! Secondly, they didn't tell me check out time when I got there, so I assumed it's 11 or 12. I checked out at around 11:40AM. In that 40 mins, 3 different guys called or knocked my room door for four times. My gf had no time to blow dry her hair, and I didn't even get no time to take a sh*t! read more

The customer service was excellent. They got us whatever we requested right away. There's about 1-2 staff in the lobby yet it's not that crazy busy so there's never any wait time. The room is spacious and clean at an affordable price. The tradeoff is that they definitely skimp in some places to make up for the price. For instance, there's no closet or place to hang your clothes but there were windows sills and small shelves on the nightstands to put stuff on. It is within good distance of restaurants within Korea town, it's just 3-4 mins from h mart. Overall, if you're looking for a good customer service, clean room, within walking distance of Korea town at an affordable price, I highly recommend Shelter Hotels. I will definitely come here again if I ever visit Koreatown LA :). read more

I wish that I had checked Yelp first, but I booked my stay here through hotels.com and their reviews of the place looked good. This is literally the worst place I have stayed in my entire life and trust me, I have stayed at plenty of dirty, uncomfortable hostels in my time Shelter Hotels isn't dirty--what makes it such a terrible place is their managers. When I checked in, I had two friends with me--we had just arrived via Uber and I made it exceptionally clear to the people at the front desk, "they are NOT staying the night, we were on trip with a whole group of about 9, but it was only the 2 of us for the evening/at that hotel." The guy at the front desk said that was fine, not an issue. We go upstairs, room is fine--nothing to write home about, as expected. After about 5 minutes, my friends in their rental car let me know they are there and I tell them to come up so we can decide where to go for lunch. We weren't planning on staying any longer than about 10 minutes before heading to lunch. Only two of them come up and within 2 minutes the manager of the hotel is pounding on the door yelling and telling us all to get out. Says there are too many people, we all need to get out. I explained to him that we were just deciding what to do, none of them were staying the night, they have their own AirBnB, etc. He tells me he doesn't care, we all need to leave. He then proceeds to wait right outside the door watching until we leave. Once we finally get outside the building, he stares at us out the window until we get into our Uber. Unfortunately, I had already paid in full, they had an additional $150 deposit, and they had my luggage as we were hurried out of the building. I decided to check out their Yelp reviews and realized that if I caused a scene, I may get kicked out and not get my deposit/luggage back. Later that night I went back to hotel to sleep/shower. The shower was also one of the worst showers I have ever used. When you switched from the tub spout to the shower-head, only about 25% of the water comes out the shower head and the other 75% still comes out of the tub spout. I figured I just didn't know the trick to getting it to switch properly, so I called the front desk for help. A different man than my previous experience answered. He explained how I was supposed to switch from one to the other, I told him I had done that, but it still was barely coming out the top. He then said "What do you want me to do then? Do you want me to come up there? Is that what you want? For me to come up at look at it?" in a super rude tone. Of course I wanted someone to come up...thats why I was calling the front desk. He came upstairs, played with it for about 15 seconds and was like "its working" before leaving. Literally the exact same as before. Majority coming out the bottom spout, and just a bit out the top. Needless to say it was the weakest shower I have ever taken. Ultimately, I contacted hotels.com after my experience because I knew that calling the hotel I would just get the manager that yelled at us. Hotels.com called the manager themselves and he CONFIRMED my story but refused to do anything about it. Whatever you do--do NOT stay here. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel this past weekend (2/16/19) and our experience was unsatisfactory. Initially, when booking our room, my boyfriend had detailed that he wanted to reserve an upgraded room since it has a larger bathroom and bathtub. The representative assured him that he would get the room he specifically asked for which he reserved two weeks prior to arrival. The representative even left a note about this on the account for anyone looking at the reservation to see. That being said, we booked the room. A few days pass and my boyfriend did not get any email confirmation regarding our upcoming reservation. He had to actually contact the front desk associate and ask them to send the confirmation email. This was extremely unprofessional and shows a lack of effort for following up with customers. . The night comes when we are ready to check in. We arrive to the parking structure (which is $25 per car) and begin to unload. We are met by a representative who takes us to the lobby to complete our reservation. The representative then let's us know that WE WILL NOT be getting the room that my boyfriend SPECIFICALLY RESERVED. He did not give any exact reason other than "it's unavailable". He did not give any sufficient apologies and made sure to let us know that if we had any issues "we could contact the manager". Since we arrived late at night, we decided to stay and keep the reservation although we would not be getting what we were promised. We were disappointed and felt lied to but pressed through the night with a positive mindset for the next day. The representative ended up giving us free parking for one of our cars. Woopty-do. Once he let us know this information, we wanted to see the room. The room itself was nice and spacious. It had a nice updated flat screen that was mounted on the wall and all mirrors appeared to be clean. However, there was a couple of hair strains in the bed once I pulled back the covers. There were two dirty towels in the bathroom and the tub could have been re-cleaned. The room had a funny smell kind of like it need to be aired out and their walls are not noise proof so you can literally hear EVERYTHING. Be aware. I would not recommend this hotel and won't stay here again based on the inconsistent service and disappointing hygiene practices we experienced at the time of our stay. I will definitely be sure to post this review everywhere possible to warn others. You would be better off staying at an airBbB or the local courtyard Marriott rather than this place! read more

TERRIBLE costumer service. We found bedbugs our first night there, at like 1AM, which is fine...things these aren't totally controllable by a hotel. But the receptionist (short lady with glasses) handled it terribly. She basically said that because all the rooms and nearby hotels are booked, so we're SOL. That we have no choice but to stay in our room or sleep in the living room (WTF??). We were tired, so I was like can we just get our linens changed and check if there's any more. And she said that she can bring up fresh linens, but can't change them. So for the first time in my life, I had to change the linens in my own hotel room that I paid for. We spent about an hour longer changing our room and hunting the bedbugs, when we should've been sleeping and getting ready for our next vaca day. I talked to the manager (Tom) about it the next day and asked for both of our days compensated because of how we were treated and he was very accommodating. "Sorry about the experience, I'll take care of it"...I knew I should've gotten it in writing. That's not the end of our Shelter experience. Our last day, we got a call at 7AM (WTF) from that same receptionist asking if they have our car keys (They park your car if you come back too late). OF COURSE you have my keys, I said yes and she hung up...I think that was just her way of getting petty revenge. A week later, no refund on my bill. Went back and forth with expedia and the manager; went from the next stay being comped to only getting 1 day comped. Whatever, I just want this to be over with at this point. If he was true to his word and handled the situation immediately, it wouldn't have been such a bad experience, and I would've just copped it out to that one terrible terrible receptionist, but it seems to be their hotel culture. I will never stay at Shelter Hotel again and I hope you don't either. (To be fair, their check-in receptionist was extremely nice; definitely don't want to throw him under the bus. Guy with curly hair and glasses) (Other +'s: free parking, but I heard they are going to start charging now. Modern looking. Affordable (~$180/night on a long weekend). Biggish rooms. read more

Dogs and construction wake you up - Flip flops in the shower probably a good idea - They have a pool...but it's empty and under construction - Great branding, terrible hotel Maybe this hotel was nice at one point, but it is falling apart now.

I was totally pleased. The Yelp reviews prepped me for the scant amenities. The lobby was under construction, and there was no pool access. But I was there for meetings and to socialize with friends, so I spent little time in the hotel. The king bed was new and quite comfortable. The TV was mounted to the wall, with the Direct TV console behind it (made changing the channel impossible by remote unless you were to the left of the TV). The only other furniture were two bedside stands with tiny shelves, as well as a desk and chair. There was no closet (though a recessed area will hopefully become one), no dresser, not even a luggage stand. We kept our luggage on the floor in the vast empty area. Otherwise, the room was stylish and modern and new. (Side note to owners: matte paint looks cool, but invest in gloss or semi-gloss--suitcases and other guest items left our walls looking pretty scuffed despite recent renovation.) The recessed lighting is really bright, so we used the bedside table lamps. It was nice to be able to open our windows in the nice weather. The bathroom was nice. It was pretty, and the tub is deep enough for soaking. There was a brief water pressure issue, but otherwise it was okay. Other than what I've mentioned, there was little else in the room. One tiny hook in the bathroom--no towel rack on the wall. No tissues in the room. Only the mirror above the sink. I remember to bring my own blowdryer, but I had to do it without a mirror since my bf used the shower after I did. All that said, the free parking, clean room, good location, and ridiculously low rate made this place a win. read more

Needed a place for one night while working at the Grammys, and this place was actually perfect. It is EXTREMELY affordable, WITH FREE PARKING! That's a rarity. Also, free wifi, but we couldn't seem to connect to it. But it didn't matter, we weren't even there. Just needed to sleep. The walls were a little bare for my taste. Could use at least one photo or something hanging up, but the bed was comfy and everything was clean The biggest highlight though for me is that I was able to bring my puppy, FOR FREE! No pet fees! Yay! And I love that everything was hard floors in case he had an accident. Would definitely stay here again if I needed something quick. read more

Shelter Hotels - Looks clean - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Downtown location, just off Wilshire. Check. Free covered parking, secure. Check. Reasonably clean room. Check. Comfy king bed. Check Spartan furnishings, no frills for a reasonable $100. Check. No damn soap in the shower or sink??? For 2 days? Fail That cost a star. Is shampoo the new 'bath gel'? Guess so. The first day, I thought it might be oversight, but I see it's the same today as well. Should I have to ask? I'm glad that they saved the cost and went green on the no soap non-option, but they included a tube of 'moisturizer' in addition to the conditioner, neither of which are of much use to most and something that those who do care bring their own particular faves. Glad to see the cost and functional priorities are both in perspective here. Smooth skin and silky hair on a body reeking of B.O. -Is that the Nouveau LA Chic? So, a clean, safe, economical LA stay, but don't forget to BYO your own soap! read more

Basic hotel in a convenient location pretty much sums up this place. You get: - White walls - Bed with plain white sheets - Desk - Dresser - Bathroom The rooms aren't super clean nor are they dirty. The windows and walls seem a little thin and you can hear crazy people yelling on the street. But if you haven't figured out how to set the time on the alarm clock I suppose it's a good wake up call. The parking is a pleasant surprise as it's free. That's pretty uncommon for the area. However be aware that it's a small underground garage that won't fit all the cars of the hotel occupants. Once all the spots are filled up you're required to double park and leave your keys at the front desk. So either be comfortable with that or don't come back to the hotel too late at night. Randomly, the Shelter Hotel logo is very similar to the Burberry logo. read more

Cons Staff- the receptionist is rude rude rude. He doesn't give a f to the customers. Dirty- they don't really clean the room after check out. You san still see the mess left from the previous. Overall, it's not bad if you are just looking for a place to take a shower and sleep. Just don't expect too much and don't be fooled by their fancy webpage and their photos. read more

This is a super basic hotel and it's quite affordable. We spend three nights here and the room was pretty spacious. We had a king size bed on the fourth floor ( top floor ). It was a little weird going up to the fourth floor on the elevator to reach a hallway that was half outdoors and half indoors. But I definitely didn't hear any sounds or disturbances mentioned previously. The view from the room wasn't so great, just staring straight at the windows of the apartment across the street. My room had a desk, mini chair with foot rest, flat screen tv, and a long mirror. There was a coffee machine with some decaf and caffeinated coffee pods. I think they serve some complimentary coffee in the morning with donuts. I didn't see an ice bucket or machine but if you call the front desk they will bring some to you. No microwave or fridge either but I think you can ask for it. The basic toiletries ( soap, shampoo, and conditioner) were included. The only bad thing was the water pressure. It pretty much slowly trinkled down because the other half was coming out of the bottom. No matter how far I moved the lever it was 50/50. The hot and cold was also opposite. I learned that the hard way. The king size bed was actually quite comfortable and more than ample room for two girls. We checked for bed bugs prior and didn't have an issue. Room service comes daily. The room had a slight smell when we checked in probably from all the dampness. But we turned up the ac and it went away after a few hours. Parking was complimentary and you can go in and out as you please. No valet service or paying $20+/night. It was pretty convenient but at night the parking lot gets packed. You have to give your key to the front desk and they back in the car for you. The hotel is like two blocks away from the heart of Koreatown. It's very convenient and safe. The area is very residential and if you have guests visiting, there's street parking. TIP: I booked initially on hotels.com but if you can wait, use the hotel tonight app to find an even better deal. read more

Stayed here in Dec 2011. This is a no frills little hotel in Korean town area of Los Angeles. Its about 2 blocks from Wilshire and a block from numerous hole in the wall but freakin good asian restaurants. Rooms are renovated and modern (see my pics) with very minimal furniture. My room was about 500sf with king size comfy bed and still has so much space to move around. Here are some tips when staying at the hotel: 1) No Ice machine...but I didn't need cause I was out every night! I bought some cold beer & wine from 3 major supermarkets (Vons w/ Starbucks, Rite Aid, etc) around the corner. 2) No hotel restaurant - don't need it cause the hotel is close to all inexpensive, mom and pop asian restaurants...filipino, chinese, korean bbq, vietnamese, thai. 3) Limited parking - double park in the hotel garage if no avail space and leave the keys with 24 security...but there's also free street parking. At night, I took cabs cause its about 2 blocks from Wilshire blvd which takes you straight to Santa Monica Blvd, Rodeo Drive, Melrose, etc...about 10-15 min away. 4) No hair dryer / iron - just ask the front desk and housekeeping will drop them off to your room. Again, this is a no frills hotel. 5) No gym - Who needs it when you're on vacation but luckily, there are 2 LA Fitness gyms nearby....go to the Hollywood Blvd location, its a block from Chinese theater. 6) Tip the housekeeping - they clean your room every day! I will definitely stay here again on my next trip this June! read more

I booked this hotel last minute because it was close to a venue that we were seeing a concert at and wanted something within walking distance... and I loved it! You can tell upon arrival that this place is a fairly new establishment. I loved that everything was new and the receptionist was super friendly. The color scheme they have was awesome (outside: grey pink and black inside: grey black white and tan) and the beds were REALLLLLLY comfortable. The tub kind of sucked, but everything else was nice and acceptable. Prices were cheap (under $100) and there was free parking (woohoo!) I would definitely recommend Shelter Hotels. read more

3.5 Stars We booked it for a night. The room was VERY spacious and simple. Comfy, clean beds, and comfy pillows. They could make the room a bit more homier. Compared to our room and my other friends that were staying in a different room, theirs had more useful things in it, a desk, an Ipod dock, and a bed bench. The walls are a bit thin and we could hear our neighbors door slam and the upstairs neighbor talking, but it wasn't too bad. The hall ways are quite narrow and quiet. The front desk still needs a bit more of a welcoming feel to it. * There's no hair dryer in the room, so ask the front desk.
