Traffic noise

None chain hotel reasonably priced for the New York area. Spartan room which needs some sort of noise dampening. I was woken at 04.30 by traffic noise and it is not next to an highway, by 05.30 further sleep was impossible. Would not use again for the noise reason

Garrett, North Hollywood

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was kind. Rating of room was incorrect. It was rated high. Table was old and chipped, wobbly, shower was painted on, I had to endure hearing a man talking all night through the walls next door, trucking neighborhood, neighborhood has trash everywhere, bed look like it was on milk crates. Tub drain was clogged, shower curtain edges was dirty, the floor of the room was filthy, I had to stand on towels the whole visit. Sheets probably is not switched out from bed. But this location had a high rating. Only if you just came home from prison would this seem like heaven. Unfortunately, I was totally misled because the pictures are from standing in front of the service counter snd pictures of room was horrible…

There was nothing to like about that place. The pictures that are on Expedia about that place is misleading. The property is not a place to stay for a week. I do not recommend anyone to take their hard earned money and go to that place. I will never book it again.
