Pros:
-I was worried about checking in as a young woman arriving late at night (they aren't available to help you after 8pm, if you have trouble checking in, and some of the reviews were iffy about the neighborhood). My flight arrived late and I checked in at 430am with no issues - gave the uber the hotel address, the uber pulled right up to the front door, i entered the code and was let into my nice, clean room - super easy!
-The neighborhood is fine! It's just a normal neighborhood with families and people living there, I don't understand all the reviews saying the neighborhood is iffy.
-Location is super convenient to take ubers around the L.A. area (to touristy spots, shopping, beach, airport, etc) - also a grocery store nearby and the kitchen mean you can eat in or cook if you want
-Clean, nice decor
-seems like a great place to stay with a friend, by yourself, or with a partner (if you're okay with the noise/lack of auditory privacy)
Cons:
-As other reviewers said, it's loud. There were two guys in the room next to mine who were talking animatedly at 430 am when I arrived...and still talking at 8am when I woke up. They called to place a breakfast order and I could hear what they were ordering. They weren't whispering, but they weren't yelling either - pretty normal speaking voice comes through the walls clear as day, so not much privacy. I brought earplugs given other reviews and I was able to sleep, but just something be aware of.
-They will let you leave your luggage if you have a late flight, or arrive early - but it's left in the kitchen which everyone has access to (unlocked, nobody watching it). They do have cameras in the kitchen and said they didn't have any issues with guests leaving luggage in the past, but I wouldn't leave my bags there (if it was taken or moved and I came back to pick it up before my flight to find it gone - what would I do? call them, have them go through video, file a police report, etc...leave without my luggage and then have to deal with it from another state? just seems unnecessarily risky).
-They only offer 1 hour late check out (for $10) - anything more than that and they charge you for another night. Something to consider if you have a late flight and want a late check-out.
-They could be hard to get a response from, which makes it difficult to plan your stay. I asked about late check outs in early afternoon the day before my departure, and they responded to ask how late I wanted to check out. I answered them immediately, but then they didn't respond. I wrote again a few hours later. No answer. They auto-sent a message at 8pm because it was the night before my check out (obvious it was auto-sent because it didn't acknowledge any of my previous unanaswered messages or the convos we'd been having about late check out). I responded to that and they finally answered again. But then they stopped answering before I was able to pay for the late check-out, so I was left hanging wondering how I should adjust my plans for the next morning. So I messaged early in the morning of my check out. No answer. I called the number given by airbnb, the person who picked up said they'd have to check on a late check out and someone would call me back. An hour and a half later (not long before I was supposed to check out) and nobody had called me. I finally called again and then got it sorted. But it shouldn't require this kind of follow up from guests for a simple late check-out!
Overall: would stay again if I didn't need a late check-out (or anything else requiring quick responses from the hotel manager), if I wasn't worried about noise interfering my sleep/auditory privacy, and didn't anticipate needing to keep my bags there due to early/late arrival or departure.
