Safety Issue: the outside entry buzzer keeps being changed without notifying the guests of the new number Staff Complaint: I was dismissed and humiliated by the staff on-sight when I voiced my concern. I felt unsafe being left outside the confines of the hotel without a buzz code at night. I voiced this to a staff member on duty. Instead of coming up with a viable solution, (like notifying the guests to check with the front desk in the morning or something to that effect) I was told this is a vibe hotel and I get what I pay for. And while there is room in the budget/ timetable for karaoke cookouts, there isn’t for safely measures. At this point I realized I was speaking to a new hire (when I was being signed in she mentioned being new) and she was taking my call to action as an attack so I asked to speak to the manager on duty. The manager was sitting at the desk and then reminded me that I was being given special treatment (having housekeeping replacement towels every other day) just before she suggested my purchasing pepper spray or a taser as a safety measure. It was an insult to say the least. I’ve never felt more humiliated addressing a safety concern. I understand it’s a budget hotel. I expected to need to bring my own blowdryer. I figured there would be roaches (which there were in the fridge everyday I might add). The TV not working right (no sound). And I even prepared myself to stop by target to buy bed bug spray on the chance there might be that issue (luckily

Super friendly, hard-working, helpful and professional staff. This place has character, I love it. It’s what you would expect from a hostel, nothing more nothing less. Hostels are places to meet other travellers, and we did here, with lots of communal space. The “tent city” others mentioned was merely 3 tents down the block; it’s not like we were fighting our way to the door through an army of homeless people. I do recommend this place.

Great little gated hostel with an awesome atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and fun. We took advantage of both the free breakfast and the bbq party (with a full free bar?!) and had a great time. We had a private room which was spacious, clean and comfortable. The location is a little shady, lots of homeless and tents but they keep to themselves and we felt safe behind the locked doors/gates. Just steps from lots of awesome food and shopping, super close to the main part of Hollywood blvd.

Old Motel in Bad Area
This was an old motel that they put paint on to look nice. wouldn't walk on floor with bare feet. Its across from a homeless shelter and a tent town within 100 ft. Pictures are deceiving, Hotel staff was very good and accommodating.

This property was an excellent value. For an economical price tag, this place filled all the requirements. Great staff! Very helpful and accommodating. Downside is the neighborhood outside is not the greatest. However, there is a big metal entrance gate that makes you feel safe. Quirky and charming hotel.
