Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Neighborhood feels rough — Some guests described the surrounding area as rough, which may be a consideration for those unfamiliar with South LA.
  • Unconventional check-in security — The check-in process involves being buzzed in, which one guest likened to entering a prison—a memorable but not luxurious experience.
  • No pets allowed — The motel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited room amenities — Rooms include only the basics—shower, heating, and air conditioning—with no mention of extras like a desk or mini-fridge.
