I had to spend a few weeks in LA, and this was more convenient than renting accomodation. We negotiated a very good deal with the hotel staff upon arrival and did not book online. I have found this to be a better way to get lower rates. Based upon this recommendation, a few other friends did the same and were always able to get lower rates than online - unless it was a holiday weekend.

The rooms are spacious, clean with useful amneties for extended stay. The closet was adequate, there was a table and a couple of chairs, a mini-bar, microwave, coffee-maker, iron, and hair dryer. The staff are generally very accomodating, but one of the cleaning ladies was extremely rude banging heavily on the door for room service.

If you are using public transport, this is very convenient. It is right next to the subway station and there are plenty of buses around. We used public transport for some time, and rented a car for a while and the free parking was great.

There is a Ralph's right across the road which was great for food and groceries. Lots of other stores such as T-mobile, CVS, Ross, McDonald's, Subway, Starbucks... etc are also very close so it was very convenient.

There is an ATM machine right outside the motel which is convenient if you get stuck for cash.

Pretty basic, surprised they didn't have sealing fans as the room got muggy and hot. The air con was broken, but the location made up for everything!! This is a good place to have somewhere to crash and get ready the next day.

Location: Its 100m from the subway. One stop away from the Walk of Fame, Hollywood bars, nightclubs, a few stops more is Universal Studios.
