This place would be a disaster for anyone who wants a safe and clean place to stay. I’ve used airbnb everywhere in the world and never left a single bad review regardless of my few bad experiences. This time though, I feel like I have to do this so there is no more people would fall for the other reviews like I did. You need to be warned at least about these things. I cannot believe how this place has only five star reviews.
Here is my experience:
* the unit I stayed was the house on the right side of the property, on the first floor.
- The host responded promptly. This was the ONLY nice thing about this stay.
- The entire place has awful smell. It’s like something is rotten somewhere in the house. I had to buy two candles from Target on the first day because my stay here was four nights.
- The fabric couch had at least three huge dirty spots - bigger than my palm - and looked absolutely disgusting. I used an extra sheet to cover the couch so that I can watch TV, but never used it till I left. You can find a cleaner couch on the street. I’m not kidding. It was that bad.
- as one of the reviews said, yes, the place may have lots of natural light but you won’t be able to enjoy it because without the curtains you are exposed to strangers. this unit designed for zero privacy.
- The walls are so thin that you can literally hear every steps of your neighbors. No exaggeration lol. at this point I was just laughing. they have 10 pm quite policy but it doesn’t matter. You will hear their conversation, arguing, music, dog barking etc. Oh, did I mentioned that I woke up at 3 am terrified by the sound of other residents fighting? lol there were lots of banging, yelling, screaming, and crying. I was about to call the cops.
- This place charge you $60 for cleaning fee, and I still found spider webs all over the desk area, towels with lipstick mark, etc.
Overall it was a nightmare. If the price was $60 per night, things might be this way. You don’t expect the best while staying at Motel 6, right? but this place would change you more than $110 + extra fees, which makes almost $170 per night. You can stay at any other hotels in LA with this price for way better experience. At least hotels can change your room when you have an unfortunate experience with the people staying next to your room. Hope this review saves you from this place.
