Hey internet Stones fans, for their L.A. residency, let's have a glimmer gathering at that iconic motel in the video... I've negotiated a special rate! Pool party! We can mess and fool around, you know, like we used to...
excerpts from first eight reviews on TripAdvisor... Dont you dare!! Bed bug infested place. Blood stains on sheets (your own blood) from squished bugs,we saw bed bugs crawling on pillows, evrything is broken,owner was really rude,he'll give you a sigh everytime you ask for something,looks decent in pictures but total opposite in reality, just plain nightmare.
This is really by far my worst motel experience, never cleaned in 50 years. Furnitures are broken and unusable, no microwave, no nothing!!!! Only TV. The guy who work there doesn't have any idea about how to treat customers, is rude, impolite and really hard to talk. If you want to cancel he will charge you with 20 USD for his pocket, even when rooms are filth, he doesn't care, he will steal you 20 USD. Better watch out and do your homework, this motel is not good even for an emergency, I prefer to sleep in my car.
Run-down dirtbag hotel. If the outside appearance is not enough clue, the way you sign up for the hotel should. First you have to walk up to a window like at a check cashing place and the guy seeks out of a hole to see who is there. I mentioned that I was just inquiring about their rates for my relatives who are coming to town and he acted like he was pissed that I bothered him to take the time to listen to my question. They apparently are a live-in couple who resents having to actually do something to earn their free rent.
Don't stay here whatever you do. This is horrible, looks like a snuff film set. STAY AWAY Everything is broken and stained and looks like it has been that way for years. Just don't get near this place. It may sound like it is in a good place but it isn't. The place is not clean, it will ruin your trip if you stay here. Bathrooms are disgusting. Mini Fridge was warped and had cigarette burns. You will want to spray yourself with disinfectant just walking in the room.
No deadbolt, safety chain, or other reinforcement. Put a chair against it when I went to sleep. Folks, this is not the safest neighborhood in the first place especially at night. The owner is dishonest. I gave her a $50 bill for the $5 key deposit and she gave me change for a $20. She made a scene when I asked for the correct change but when I told her I would call the police she provided the difference.
Felt like I was in a movie, you know, the movies that the main characters get raped and murdered in their sleep. Absolute garbage. The ceiling in the bathroom was falling down and had mold, it looked like someone used the bathroom in the shower and spread it all around. The bed was stained. The lamp was broken. The smoke detector was hanging off the ceiling, doubt if it worked. There was even a five dollar deposit for the remote to the TV that doesn't work. There is a door that is not locked in the room that leads to another door that is in the room next door. We stayed for about 1/2 hour. Then we decided that it would be better to sleep in our car.
I could not fall asleep... When I checked-in the clerk awsnered from a little credit card sized peek hole before letting me enter the lobby.. There were lightning bugs flying around in the hallway as we walked to our room... The TV channels were all either in Spanish or Thai. The sliding door in the room went out to a baloncy which overlooked an alley but it was kinda nice. We left the sliding door open because the AC did nothing to cool the room but then there were sirens and people yelling until 5am... Then we ended up oversleeping until five minutes before check-out time... Neither of us showered. We got up, dressed and got the hell outta there. TripAdvisor photo...
