Nothing it was bad
I walked in the room and it smelled bad so I left to get something to eat and came back and the smell was bad still then I went on the bed and I went under and felt a hole in the sheet so I looked at the sheets, They were so bad and ugly and looked like they haven’t been washed and then I was looking close around the room and it looked so dirty like they don’t clean their rooms well and I got really disgusted and on top of that my wife saw a cockroach and that really disgusting but what was really bad is that they don’t clean their room trash cans, I went to go and throw away my trash and took off the plastic and it was a horrible smell like one of the worst smells in my life I went to tell the lady in the front that I wanted a refund and she wanted to give me a different room but honestly I could not step in another room after that, It makes me sick that they don’t clean well

The price for two rooms was good affordable. Bed where comfortable. Rooms where clean. Had there microwave & mini fridge. TV had cable.
I didnt like how there was too much noise out in the parking lot by the people where staying there as well during the night. You could hear them they where too loud, couldn't really sleep. The room that had the king bed had the sheets with holes & the room smelled like smoke. The wifi didn't worked real good on my phone, kept disconnecting & when connected YouTube was working really slow for my kids.

It was very dirty, a lot of homeless people around. The door couldn’t even lock so sleeping at night wasn’t really comfortable.

The property seemed unsafe. The rooms were dirty and they smelled like dirt and cigarettes even though it was a non smoking room. The police showed up at a neighboring room. A guest and the front desk person were arguing and the front desk person went into someone’s room while they were there. They did not have accurate record of who was staying in what room causing confusion.

I like the design of the lights. The lobby has a nice space to work or relax with a microwave and clean, pretty table. Room was fine. Pretty bed sheets. Located nearby Whittier Narrows Nature Center.
No microwave in room, but one available in the lobby. Water pressure in shower is very strong and makes it a little uncomfortable. There is a lot of noise in this location. Bangs at night, someone knocking on the door at 6am. Tv signal could be better. Could be more free space in the room to workout.

That the front desk lady gave me an extra pillow and fixed broken TV in the room they gave me.
Where do I begin to start. Everything went wrong from beginning to end. It started when I was given a bad and dirty room. I am extremely disappointed with my stay here. Please see the pictures below. TV was broken upon arrival. No Telephone in the room to call the manager, so I had to go back to the front office to complain and wanted to be switched out. The lady said we are all booked up and no other rooms are available. So the lady came over to our room to fix the TV and give me an extra pillow as requested. When the front office lady came into my room I immediately addressed all the problems in the room from graffiti on the walls, fire alarm being covered with plastic that made me and my wife feel unsafe. She did not want to remove the plastic from the fire alarm and did nothing about it. I also told showed the front desk lady that the bed sheets were ripped and torn. I also told her about the cigarettes burns on the toilet seat and broken furniture in the room, broken door knob to bathroom. Thru the night when I was sleeping, someone was in their room yelling and screaming at someone at 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am... all night and I could not sleep. The noise came from above me on the second floor. Very creepy situation and had no phone in room to call the manager to complain.This is by far the worst experience I ever had staying at a Motel. I wanted to talk to the manager in the morning to make a big complaint, but no one was around the front office during my checkout at 9am. I will be contacting Booking.com to request for a full refund. I am extremely upset with my stay here. This Motel does not keep up with their business and allowing noise to disturb others all night. Nothing wasn't done about it.

These people have been by far not friendly with other people they are so friendly and then they see me and the friendlyness is gone.
I didn't like it when a guest went to tell them "if my TV doesn't work I'm coming back." But when I have no tv or my key doesn't work they give me attitude.

The room was clean. Check in was speedy and efficient. The location was right off the freeway super easy to find.
We could not watch TV because there was no remote in the room. When I went to the front desk to ask for a remote he said he would bring me one. He never did, I went back down he gave me two remotes and said it should be one of these but neither one worked for the tv. There were burn holes in my comforter and when I turned down the bed there was hair stuck in the sheets.
