Los Angeles inns

Cons: No alarm clock in room. Wish there was a coffee maker. Plastic chairs and cheap table were odd.

Cons: Very old furniture other than the beds, linens and bathrooms. Hair dryers do not come in the rooms but they do have some in the office upon request.

Cons: The images of the hotel on the website were far nicer than anything I saw in my one night stay. There was a dog in the next room that had been left alone and barked for a couple of hours until the resident came back to the room. There was no iron in the room. I had to call down to the desk and it took three phone calls to finally get one sent to my room. The continental breakfast shown on the website was a complete fabrication. The real breakfast was a coffee urn and a few pastries wrapped in plastic.

Cons: The Inn is run without any staff present and often not even available by phone. I arrived at 5pm and no one answered the door. There was a message that at 3pm a code was sent out that could be used to open the locked doors of a front and another code for the assigned room. I advertising this miserable place, there is NO indication of this unusual arrangement for Check-in time. Could it be that I was the first customer who had no connection to a Los Angeles wifi? as it turned out, my cell phone was not picking up anything cellular. At one point, someone came out who did not identify himself but he said that he could give me the passes if I gave him the codes. IHe literally pushed me out of the door when I could not get my computer going. SOne arriving guest lent me a cell phone but there was no more answer from an outside phone that there was from the phone on the wall. I am 72 years old and disabled. It was an unseasonably cold night. I was shivering wait outside. Finally, I borrowed an entering client's phone and called the police. this place must be closed down I am considering taking legal measures against the travel services that presented this property to me and will be writing blogs describing this brutal treatment of a property that had no one available in person or by phone to process customers. The police promised to make its own investigation. hl

Cons: Random people smoking pot outside of the house. Watched them out of our window. Good thing we were already in for the night.
