Hotel definitely needs some renovation but for overnight accommodations, it gets the job done.
Desk staff was rather rude while checking in to the hotel. Room was fairly nice but the chemical used for cleaning was overwhelming and gave me and my partner nausea and an upset stomach. Beds were very uncomfortable and hard. The website said nothing about the fee for parking, which was $15 each night. The only nice part was the location.
There's a few things I have to say about this hotel. The staff is neither as helpful nor particularly friendly. Customer satisfaction is not their priority. I happened to stay here twice and the second time was more discouraging than the first. They just meet with you, provide you a room and the rest is for you to figure out. They apparently don't even know the structural layout of where they work. I asked for a Room with a balcony and they had to walk outside and gaze around to see which of the rooms even had one. I mean shouldn't it be in their database?! When I got to my room, the balcony door was jammed to which I called the front desk to bring it to their attention. That guy's sarcastic response was literally, " I don't know there's no one here to fix it." (I ended up opening it myself) when I called to request another packet of coffee be sent up. that same guy says, "you have to come down and get it yourself." Needless to say the rude manner.
Overall, I would not recommend staying here. If you wanna try the Days Inn, check out he one next to Qualcomm stadium in mission valley, it has much more to offer and the staff is much more professional and freindly. Good luck!
Cheapest place we could find close to Santa Monica pier that wasn't a complete dump. Would rather find an air bnb next time. Only plus is free parking.
Great inexpensive place to stay. Nice complimentary breakfast and the staff was very accommodating.
Absolutely disgusted by this hotel. We attempted to check in for our reservation at 3pm only to be told by the most disrespectful incompetent buffoon front desk attendant John, no rooms were clean. Ok so we waited. 45 mins in we went back up to the desk to check in and the idiot John refused to take my credit card for payment because he couldn't figure out his system. Absolute waste of space and time this John. Absolutely incompetent excuse for a front desk. We ended up cancelling because of this moron and found a much much better hotel one block over. Management, you have a disgrace representing your front office. Address it. Continued loss revenue is all you will achieve with that buffoon.
Terrible but large rooms. Not clean. Front desk staff very rude. Overall pretty bad. Will not stay there again. Left after 1 night, they charged me for the full 3 @ $250 a night.
Pretty good location and nice views from the balcony of all of the nicer places you could have stayed. This area has lots of neat remodeled old school motels with exterior access from each room. This hotel is not one of those, more just old and not remodeled. Fans of breaking bad will be pleased- reminds you of the Cristal Palace.
Room was ok, nothing fancy but did not feel comfortable staying there either.
Great cheap accommodation in downtown with parking capabilities.
Gets only 2 stars because front desk clerk was incredibly unfriendly. Was checking in with my brother and he mistook us for a gay couple. He did not become friendly until after we had explained that we were brothers.
Very sad with that kind of prejudice.
My experience at Days Inn was rather pleasant. The hotel room was clean and spacious, and I found all the staff to be accommodating and friendly throughout my stay. Great location for a cheap price - would recommend if you're looking for convenience and on a budget!
