Civic Center Inn

Dirty carpet, dirty walls, moldy shower.

Good option to stay

Horrible and horrible

Nothing

It was a horrifying experience. My family heard shouting and fighting from all over the place through out the night. The police and an ambulance came. Never dared to find out what happened. Also you get to smell pod from other rooms. The bed sheet had holes and burned marks. The elevator was either broken or turned off with no signs stating why. The AC didn't work. Called for repair but never showed up. When we checked out in the morning, there was a used condom on the ground right next to my car door. It's cheap, but what you pay is what you get.

False advertisement

The "free parking" is not guaranteed to be the lot in the picture and unfortunately this was the sole reason we chose this place, we refused to park in the alley where I stepped in pee. After arguing with the clerk for 10 minutes, that the manager must have some type of contact number, we finally spoke with the manager to ask for a refund. The manager refused to recognize the misleading pictures & information regarding parking, provided by Civic Center Inn. He was extremely combative & only let up once we told him we'd quote the insane crap he was telling us on Yelp, and here. That's when his entire demeanor changed. I wouldn't suggest anyone staying here. The room was sketchy, too.

A lot nicer than I thought it would be compared to the reviews the area wasn't bad at all

No larger towels for shower, could tell they really pushed penny's there.

The location was pretty much near the center of the city.

They said all rooms were non-smoking, but I clearly saw a cigarette burn on our blanket the first night. Also, the bathroom easily gets dirty (the tile floor). The TV freezes and then turns off by itself many times which can get annoying.

attentiveness of staff

There was a guy Dharma at the front desk who was the only nice thing related to the hotel.

Horrible experience. On a Saturday night, we heard shouting noise of young men and they were turning our door handle. This was followed by shouting from these guys at the girls on the street. Later I realized there was a bachelor party and cops had to be called at night. It was a horrible 2-3 hours and I heard noises I can't descrbe from an adjacent room. Definitely not a place for couples or families. Right behind a strip club. Most of the time the front desk is manned by some who do not speak English. I waited for 10 minutes for her to even look at me when I needed some ice. Finally when I said "I have a question", she walked in with her cell phone. She was speaking spanish and was talking to her doctor. The owner does not care.

The hotel is located in little Saigon, with excellent Viet Nam restaurants within a five minute walk.

The homeless in the area (and there are lots of them) can be very aggressive asking for money.

Front desk stay were polite, but not willing to give you a break. The woman in line ahead of me complained of bedbugs.
