So this is going to be a fun (sarcastically stated). We've stayed here a few times & each time is a different experience. This time, like each time before, the staff was kind & accommodating with a first floor room in our room type. These rooms are super clean but smell strongly of cleaning product one must lite a candle, plug in a room deodorizer or just leave the door open to air out. Depending on the room, the bed is pretty comfy. Our favorite room so far is room 110, however this week was 108... bed is a bit stiffer and the ac unit is old and loud. Floorboards in the middle of the room lift to pinch your feet as one walks across the floor. Late morning second day there came a knock on the door. We answer to find they want to move furniture in to our occupied room. We decline entry as we had just fallen asleep yet they insisted. Firmly we shut the door. 1230 comes & management shows up unwilling to hear no, they want to move the furniture in today, now. We explain in 24 hrs we'll be leaving, management said no & asked we move into room 106. At this point with zero regard for their guests comfort or feelings we decided its closer to move our things into our car rather than another roo, so I give them back their room 106 card and request a refund. Why stay when they've invited us to leave by not understanding that the room was occupied! No matter what we were doing, short of an emergency the do not disturb sign was posted to be respected. Won't be back any time soon.

The staff are really nice. The room smells like super strong clorox. I had to ask the front desk to change my pillow cases because they're all stained with dirt. I guess you get your money's worth since it's cheaper than a hotel.

I stayed one night to catch a show at The Grove. It’s 5 mins away from The Grove, Honda Center and Angel’s Stadium. The room was clean and suited us fine for our short stay. I would stay again if I go to an event around there.
