Overall, we had a nice stay here in the ‘barn door room’ because of the help and great communication of Glecy’s assistant, Rhonda. She helped us fix the multiple issues that arose during our stay, and relatively quickly as well which was great customer service.
What issues? So the #1 thing we both did not like was the barn door itself. It doesn’t fully close, it just slides over the door opening and there are spaces on all sides except for 1 side which is blocked with a thin strip of rubber. The door locks with a small chain that extends from the inner room wall. The door can still slide and move a bit because the chain is approx 6 inches or so long. Definitely a huge lack of privacy and sound travels so easily - you don’t feel super secure or as safe as you would - simply having a real door would fix this entire problem.
The room was super clean and the small fridge and bathroom (especially the shower) were very nice. One issue is the bathroom left faucet does not work at all, it’s completely stuck so there is no hot water for the bathroom sink. We had to use the warm shower water for washing our faces or shaving, etc. - that needs to be fixed.
This part is funny - so the bed is STIFF as a board! Literally. My wife and I were a bit shocked. There was only 1 blanket and a sheet for covers. There was also a small heater. Funny thing is, as hard as the bed was, we didn’t sleep badly at all! We slept well! So I’m not going to let the bed hardness hurt my review of this room. It was cold though, too cold for 1 sheet and 1 blanket, and so Glecy’s assistant Rhonda hooked us up with a heated blanket and an additional heater when we asked. Within an hour of texting her asking, too. It would be a nice big upgrade if they put a new mattress in the room that wasn’t so stiff. We met one of the other guests and they were nice enough to show us their room and their bed was SUPER soft and comfortable! So, not sure why the mattress in our room was so drastically different. Like I said though, we slept well! We were surprised ourselves!
Overall, I gave this stay 4 stars out of 5 because of the great customer service and the value. You can’t find a better value per night and the parking is free, unheard of when looking for places to stay in LA. We would stay here again for these reasons … but we would stay here again even more and faster if the barn door was converted to a real door and the hot water/sink were both fixed. If you want a soft bed and a real door, consider one of the other 2 rooms which have an adjoining bathroom.
