I stayed here over the 4th of July weekend and it wasn't a bad ride from the airport and close to other areas, especially the beach. It was my first time in LA and the room was a great location and I did feel safe. The room was clean and neat, had the essentials and mainly was only there to sleep, since there was so much to see, and the bed was really comfortable. Teresa was on time to receive us and showed us around the place, she was easy to get a hold of, if anything was needed and the check out was simple. I would come back again ^_^
