Hotels near Baja Bud＇s in Los Angeles

Great hotel! Convenient parking (locked with gates), clean, good amenities (iron, fridge, coffee maker with coffee and teas, hairdryer, iron, shared microwave), very good breakfast (cereals, yogurt, fruits, waffles, eggs and sausage patties, bagels and cream cheese). Also, it has onsite restaurant with a 50% dining offer for guests.

Could easily be zero stars. Original room was 93 degrees upon check in, the air conditioning unit was poor by anyone's standard, we asked to switch rooms. They did not offer to come get our bags, or move us to a new room so we brought our luggage back down to the front desk. We were then given a second room. Again, no offer made to accompany us and see if the new room was up to standards. This room was 92 degrees upon entry. After a second phone call, they sent up staff to change the filters on the AC unit. That team told us the AC was functioning well and blowing cold air (it was blowing cold air as if you had a few ice cubes in your mouth and blew on my neck) and to use the blackout curtains (after a sort of condescending explanation of what blackout curtains do) and give it some time for the AC to work. We went out to dinner for about two hours and came back to a nice cool 87 degree room. We once again took our belongings back downstairs. We were then told by the front desk staff that since we booked a room with a king size bed all of those rooms faced the sun and would all have similar problems (why would that be an acceptable answer?) and they could do nothing more for us since they accommodated us once already. I had no idea their idea of accommodating someone was to put them in a room with the same problem that the previous room had but what do I know, I am not in the hospitality industry. We were then told that the hotel was completely booked so no further ”accommodations” could be made. We asked for a refund and this is the first time they reacted with some conviction, they were happy to let us leave. Must be nice to be able to turn away business. At no time were there any apologies, any remorse, just matter-of-factly let us leave. My wife and I don't argue or yell, we never feel its worth it, but we left angry and hotel-less on a Saturday night in Los Angeles. We scrambled to find a new hotel but the damage was done, they took our entire Saturday away from us, which no refund could ever compensate for, they temporarily took our joy to be in town on our own as we are parents and do not get much time away. We did take our business elsewhere, to a Hilton, they seem to understand that to relax you need a room that is slightly cooler than a sauna. We were able to salvage the remaining days of our trip. Also the elevators at the Freehand are old (charming?) and constantly in use because of the rooftop bar so it took us waiting for a few packed elevators to get up and down to the hot AF rooms which probably added to our level of frustration. But it was mostly the Sahara like environment of the hot room. Did I mention the rooms were hot? Also maybe use a free hand to open a book on what hospitality looks like, I think your staff may be surprised. (see what I did there?)

Perfect place for a shuttle airport hotel! Shuttle very 15 minutes and a great place to prepare for a trip. Pool and bar is nice. Spent way more on drinks and food than I imagined but not much around… it was fair in the end. Great bar staff.

Very suitable for multi-day long stay itineraries. I also read a lot of reviews before booking, and the opinions of previous people were all very solid. The location is in the city center and life is very convenient. There will be homeless people on the street, but it’s nothing in broad daylight. We often hear police sirens. In fact, it is normal in urban areas in the United States. They will be dispatched if anything happens, as if it is a big deal. I am quite satisfied that the room is large enough, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the nearby grocery shopping, subway, and shopping mall May's are only 5 or 6 minutes' walk away. The price is also reasonable, which is great!

The one incident that nearly ruined my stay at CitizenM was the aggressive sprinkler inspection. I was not notified by email, phone, nor physical note about an inspection. At 9:15am, I was awoken by banging on my guest room door. I went to the door to see two men continuing to bang on the door, saying that they needed immediate access to check on equipment. Everything I've been taught about hotel safety was to NOT open the door to unidentified men. I told them everything in the room was fine and that I would be checking out within the hour. They continued to insist that I immediately open the door, which started to frighten me. I told them I was going to call the front desk to check if they were sent by the hotel. I was surprised that one of the men responded in an angry manner saying, ”FINE, GO AHEAD AND CALL THE FRONT DESK!” The woman at the front desk apologized, said that she too had just found out about the inspection, and said that the men were indeed authorized to inspect the sprinklers. I opened the door and they did a quick inspection. I did not appreciate the aggressive, unprofessional manner in which they demanded entry into my room. Other than that, the rest of my experience was excellent!

We're going through a horrific heat wave here in California, and I don't have an AC in my apartment. Because of Covid 19, many public places, such as our public library, are closed; places where people can cool off from this heat. I'm a teacher working from home and it's hard enough sitting in front of a computer all day; I don't need the heat to aggravate the situation more, but aggravate it did. Because I needed a cool place where I could work, I decided to book two nights at this motel. I chose this particular one because it's fairly close to my apartment and the price was ”reasonable.” All I needed was a clean room, a working AC and reliable Wifi. I only got one of three from my wish list. The room was disgustingly dirty: spider webs in the bathroom, dirt and grime underneath the vanity, filthy chairs, filth everywhere. I wasn't able to shower because the shower head wasn't working. I only got running water from the tub faucet, and I wasn't about to sit in that tub. The wifi worked fine when I first checked in and during most of the day the second day, but then it went dead. There was no way I was able to connect using their wifi so I ended up using my hot spot for my first class, and then I came right back home where I at least have running water, reliable wifi, and a clean place to sleep.The AC worked fine, but it's too bad that this place is so rundown. The motel usually serves breakfast, whatever it is they serve, but because of the state regulations due to the pandemic we're going through, breakfast, ice and the pool were unavailable. I'm was very happy to burn rubber and come back home, albeit to a very hot apartment. Two nights was more than enough.

The service staff are very kind The meal was very delicious! The bed in the room is very comfortable and the TV is smart Although the hotel is relatively old, the only flaw is that the shower head in the bathroom equipment is of an old type.

A small hotel run by Chinese people. It has its own small yard for parking. It is full of cars at night. There is a small swimming pool. The building is not new and the facilities are not new, but the service is attentive. Although the breakfast is Western style, But there is also Chinese porridge, hot coffee and free instant noodles.

The front desk service of the hotel is good, but the hygiene condition is not very good. The bed sheets were not changed even after staying for 5 consecutive nights. When booking the hotel, the destination tax was clearly included, but when checking out, I was still charged 30 US dollars per night. Ctrip customer service promptly refunded me (according to the real-time exchange rate) Parking costs 60 US dollars a night. We parked in the parking lot behind the hotel. If you park before 12 pm until the next morning, you need to pay 40 US dollars. You can choose to park after 12 pm until the next morning. Then The price is $20. I have to say that parking in downtown is really expensive. The security around downtown is not very good either.

The room was tidy and clean. It was also spatious. There was enough space for my two big pieces of luggage. The shuttle service is also good. Overall it was a comfortable stay.
