"The bed was shaped like a banana and felt like sleeping in a hammock. Not a bad motel, but if you have small kids, be aware that windows on the 3rd floor open all the way, and the screen in our room was bent.2017-08-02"
"The room was lovely, spacious, clean, and quiet, and the staff was exceptionally courteous and helpful. I recommend this motel.2016-05-16"
"Decent motel room, but a little overpriced. The hotel clerk was fairly rude, and none of the employees seemed to be happy to be there. I wasn't expecting to pay $7 for parking.2016-03-03"
"Good value. The motel was clean and I was able to walk to everything I needed. 2023-01-13"
"Close to the airport. The motel room had poor lighting, and we heard locals setting off fireworks nearby from 8-10:30 PM. The bedding wasn't clean, and we didn't realize it until daylight. It made me feel dirty. Don't stay at this motel.2016-06-19"
"The motel had an easy shuttle to and from the airport.2022-02-27"
"No bath mat in the bathroom, and the floor was dirty. The front desk clerk wasn't wearing a mask despite a sign saying they were required. The motel shuttle wasn't running at 7 PM, and the return shuttle to LAX only ran once an hour. There was a $100 deposit I didn't expect. Stay elsewhere.2022-01-01"
"Lower your expectations if you stay at this motel. I was bothered by intrusive lighting into the room window. 2018-11-01"
"I was initially given a smoking room, but was moved the next day. The 2nd room had fleas; I even found them in the bedsheets. The motel staff was nice, but it didn't make up for the negatives.2017-06-01"
"Close to restaurants, but there wasn't much to do in the area. The motel room was clean, but housekeeping only provides services if you stay at least a week. The room was a bit cramped, but it was quiet. Limited TV channel selection2015-11-21"

"The motel was OK, but parking was tight.2017-06-09"
"Not far from LAX. Cleaning wasn't up to my standards. The soundproofing was poor; I could hear neighbors walking and talking, and the plumbing was loud. The grab and go breakfast was delicious and nourishing. The guest laundry was outrageously expensive. OK motel for a short-term stay.2022-10-26"

"This was the most pleasant and convenient motel stay we've experienced for the price. The room had a microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot, dining table, make-up table, safe, living room, and a comfortable king bed. Don't worry about bringing a hair dryer, iron, or toiletries.2016-03-10"
"The motel was nice, clean, and orderly. The bed was a little on the firm side, but we still slept well. Not the easiest access from the east; I went around the block and came in from the west.2018-12-12"

"The motel was cute and clean, and the front desk clerks were welcoming. I'd stay here again.2019-10-17"

"The motel was clean. The room size was modest. The parking area was cramped, and AC units were stacked by the handicap parking, which looked trashy.2018-06-10"
"We stayed at this motel for 4 nights, and there were 5 of us in the room. The AC didn't work well and leaked on the carpet; we didn't sleep well because it was too hot. The AC was replaced the next day, but the replacement was loud and shook and kept us awake. It was fixed the next day, but started shaking again our last night. Nice staff and good breakfast. Don't stay here.2017-07-29"
"Conveniently located. Great room. Check-in was easy. I highly recommend this motel.2015-09-18"

"Don't stay at this motel. The location was strange, and it smelled bad. We left early.2019-08-29"

"The motel was undergoing much-needed renovations. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the grounds weren't that nice and the construction noise was loud. Friendly, helpful personnel. Great place to crash, but not a place to hang out during the day.2018-04-15"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
