    I'm giving 3 stars because our check in took over an hour, which was frustrating after a long day…read more The biggest issue, however, was what happened around 5:00 a.m. A man appeared to be trying to force his way into our room through the sliding glass door while I was feeding my baby. Thankfully, the upper security latch prevented him from getting inside. The staff responded and apologized, but we were never offered a different room, even though the main sliding door lock appeared to have been compromised during the incident. After that, we couldn't sleep because we no longer felt safe. I'm sharing our experience so other guests, especially families with children, are aware.

    This hotel is all facade. From the exterior and photos, you'd think you're booking a decent Hilton…read moreproperty. Unfortunately, it's another poorly managed franchise that does nothing but hurt the Hilton brand. Check-in took nearly 2 hours. My original room still wasn't ready at 5:00 PM, so I was moved to a different room. The moment I walked in, I was hit with a strong odor of dirty, moldy socks. The HVAC air filter looked like it hadn't been changed in ages. I was then moved to a second room, but only after waiting another hour while staff inspected it at my request to make sure it didn't have the same issues. Sadly, the second room was just as disappointing. While it didn't smell as bad, it had numerous maintenance issues and visible damage that made me question how it was ever cleared for a guest. The only positive part of this experience was the front desk staff. They were friendly, courteous, and genuinely tried to help. My frustration is directed at the ownership and management for allowing the property to deteriorate to this level. Hilton should hold franchise owners to a much higher standard.

This stay was far below expected standards in cleanliness & guest care. I would strongly advise against staying here. I endured an extended business stay at this property and from the start, the room was not properly cleaned -- food debris on the floors, a heavily soiled couch with crumbs throughout, and an unsanitary shower head that required replacement. Maintenance issues, including plumbing (foul smelling water) and power concerns, took days to resolve. Housekeeping was inconsistent and often unacceptable. On multiple occasions, floors were not cleaned, sheets were not changed, and visibly stained bedding was placed on the bed. Debris was left behind, including someone else's hair and trash, indicating the room was not properly serviced. Most concerning, I experienced insect activity and developed a significant bite during my stay that is still healing. A colleague on the same floor reported similar issues. This raises serious sanitation and health concerns. Despite multiple reports, concerns were dismissed or inadequately addressed at the management level. Rather than resolving the issues, responses were deflective and unprofessional. I ultimately had to escalate this matter to corporate to receive any acknowledgment. For a Marriott property, this is unacceptable and this establishment is unfit. I would never return to this property.

    My partner had a tourney at Rio Hondo, so we decided to do a little staycation. And wow, what a…read morebeautiful hotel! Check-in was smooth and friendly, and the amenities were really nice. The gym had tons of machines, so I got a solid workout in, and there was a small pool, happy to see a pool at all! The bed was super comfy, and the breakfast was delicious, lots of good options. I'd definitely recommend this spot. The only weird thing is the parking, it's $15, which seems odd since it's in the same lot as Dunkin' Donuts, and there didn't seem to be security or any indoor parking to justify the fee. I think it should be included in the room rate. Other than that, great stay!

    I thought because it had best western in the name, this hotel would be acceptable and my standards…read morewere pretty high. I came from San Francisco area to visit a friend that lives in the LA area. First time coming down here and I wish I looked at the reviews. I regret staying here for a few reasons. I didn't feel that safe. The bolt lock on the door has a crack that cuts in half. The bathroom door frame had the safety metal plate all wonky. And the toilet paper holder kept letting go of the paper. Which was annoying. There was no microwave; which was disappointed because I couldn't heat up my nachos! For such an empty motel (says hotel but isn't good enough to be recognized as one) the place is pretty strict. No pets, no visitors, no noise, no refunds if you get kicked out (these were the rules that caught my eye). The rules might as well suck out the fun and enjoyment of everything. I was pretty bummed when i brought my friend over and the management was quick to respond. Told us he has to leave right now. What sucked was that it was his birthday and we just wanted to eat some snacks and watch some movies. Catch up and enjoy a chill night. I'm not sure if because of Covid the motel was so strict, but could they have at least given me a microwave? Or some decent soap to wash my hands. The bar of soap they throw on to the sink counter was so rough and didn't create and suds. I help the soap under water and it still didn't make suds or even clean. Feels like washing your hands with cardboard. But at least cardboard deteriorates unlike the soap they provide. The shower dispenser works. Shampoo or shower gel....... thankfully I brought my own shower supplies. Worried that the shampoo will leave a chemical burn. The room had a working bed. Working tv. Working shower and sink. So because of the basic necessities I give this place a 2. Defiantly stay her if you find a room on sale or discounted because it's not worth the regular price. I've stayed at better best western hotels and I'm sure there are better options out there. 2/10 would not come back and would not recommend.

    Stayed here a few nights when visiting the DTLA area... The…read moreroom was very clean, the bed was comfortable, the room had a small fridge and a decent TV. The free wifi worked well. It's fairly close to the downtown area, right off the 710... The staff we delt with was pleasant and friendly. There are plenty dining places nearby if needed. Will definitely look at staying here again.
