I stayed here with friends for four nights in late June. Arriving at dusk, the place looked awful. The reception area looked dreadful and, in my tired state, I quickly decided that the place looked like a crack den. My room (ground floor at the back) had certainly seen better days (as had the other rooms my friends had) but it was clean and comfortable.
I started to change my mind a little later while sitting outside in the garden area. With some nice plants, a few palm trees and some candles it was very peaceful and suddenly the place seemed to have a relaxed charm.
The area clearly isn't the nicest in LA but none of us felt unsafe at any point. The Metro is really close and there's a supermarket next door.
So yeah.. if you can look beyond the reception area and slightly worn rooms this place is a pleasant, relaxed little motel. I'd stay again.
