My fiance and stayed there this weekend to attend a hockey game at the Staple Center. We were looking for something budget and close to downtown. This is not the worst hotel we have ever stayed at, but its pretty darn crappy. Here are the details, you decide if you would stay here....
1) We had to pay a $4.25 "surcharge" and $5 to park in their lot, on top of the fee we already paid Travelocity for a one-night stay. $10 bucks for no reason, without being disclosed when we booked?!?!?
2) We booked a king bed and when we got to our room we saw 2 fulls. We went down to get the rooms switched and it was a HUGE DEAL! They said that what we book online isnt guaranteed, and we get whats available when we check in. Our paperwork clearly said king, not "standard room" or anything that might be misconstrued.
3) The furniture was nice at one point, but it is all dinged up, dented, and the paint is missing. The bed spread is nice, but the curtains are covered in crap. There are stains everywhere on them. It really makes me wonder how clean everything else is.
4) The free continental breakfast looked nice from the outside, but there were a number of things wrong with it. The waffle maker excited me, but the batter was all wrong, no matter how long you cooked them the middle was eggy and wet. The orange juice was fake tasting and overly sweet. No peanut butter for the toast. Cereal was stale tasting. Front desk did not care.
5) It is not in the best area. A family next to us has a 3 year old boy who kept a toy gun tucked into his waistband and "fired shots" at breakfast. Cool.
Not sure why previous reviewers had good thins to say??
PS They have internet on 1 computer in the lobby, but it is a minimum $5 CC charge.
