Let me start by commenting on the location of this hotel: the neighbourhood felt a little unsafe but the hotel was quite close to restaurants, shopping etc., but the drive into Los Angeles took about an hour from there + you definitely need a car if you stay there! The room was very large but also very dark, and we could hear a little too much of what was going on next door which was quite annoying. The breakfast was not good. « less

We had a Dr. Appointment in LA and decided to spend the night. We found the Hotel online and the price was competitive with others in the area. I was a little concerned that there were no recent reviews, but the reviews were positive. When we arrived the person at the fron desk was very friendly and helpful. That was the highpoint of the stay. The room we booked was listed as 2 queen beds, but the beds were a little small for queen size and were VERY firm. Each bed had 2 half-size pillows. The carpets in the room were sticky. Breakfast offerings were toast, waffles, coffee and orange juice. I would spend an extra $10 to $20 and book something else. « less

My hubby and I stayed here in 2010 after having a lot of trouble deciding on LA accommodation, being backpackers we didn't want to spend much. We booked the Rodeway Inn as the reviews generally were quite positive and we thought it looked to be close to the airport. Soooo, it was kinda close to the airport (but still took ages to get there so cost a fair but), but not the city, or public transport! We worked out that the nearest train station was around 3.1 miles (around 5kms) from here so we walked rather than catching a cab (there were supposed to be busses but we didnt see one at all - apparently the busses in Gardena are useless) as we were heading for Disneyland. we caught the train as far as we could and then a bus to Anaheim - around 1.5 hours on the bus! After a great day at Disneyland, a bus and train later we arrived back at the train station and decided to walk back to the hotel. it was dark - so this was a terrible decision, I was sure that we weren't going to make it back alive!! We did though. The next day we caught the train into Hollywood Boulevard and then to Dodgers stadium - great experience, don't miss the baseball! This time we just caught a taxi the whole way back to the Rodeway. We'd hoped to head to Santa Monica or Venice Beach on our last day but it was gonna take much too long to to get there via public transport (2 hours +) and cost too much in a cab, so we just waled around the Gardena area for the morning (not much to see really!). I should also mention that the location wasn't particularly safe, Gardena is next door to Compton ('Boys in the Hood' territory) therefore I really didn't feel safe walking around day or night. I did feel relatively safe at the Hotel though. In summary,the rooms were quite okay, the staff friendly and the breakfast great (waffle maker!!). However I would not possibly stay here again unless I had a car to get around. We were glad to be flying out to Vancouver after 3 nights and 2.5 days in LA. « less

I drove from Ontario Airport expecting this to be a Best Western. I thought I'd give it a try.
Staff was excellant. The rooms were nicer than I expected for the price, and Hotel Brand. Sheets were clean and crisp. Fridge in Room. Extensive TV Channel selection. Quiet. My room was next to the Housekeeping storage area, but no excessive noise. Nice work desk with ample electrical outlets. Shopping & food within walking distance, No business center, but a printer is avaiable in the lobby.
I have no problems returning here in the future. « less

first time staying @ this hotel, read reviews and decided to see for myself. Staff was very helpful & friendly. our first room the tub was clogged being it was a saturday ( no maintenance) we were moved to another room within 5 minutes. hotel is a bit on the worn side but it was clean and pretty quiet for a weekend, noticed a NO PARTY policy @ front desk which put my mind at ease. all in all I will be staying again. If you are looking for a 4 star hotel keep looking but if you want a place to stay with out breaking the bank then book your room. continental breakfast was good my kids enjoyed the bagels & waffles. « less

Testimonials: Why use Hotel Planner?
"This site has been a rewarding experience in searching for our annual conference needs. It was exactly what I was looking for and I've bookmarked your website for future use. It's great to use your service to narrow down the location as well as the Hotel. Simple and easy way for Hotels and travelers to execute business without phone calls and web searches." F.O. - Columbia, SC
"I wish I knew about you guys sooner, I've enjoyed being able to come home and go to the computer and see lots of hotels asking me to stay with them. (almost like that commercial, when the banks fight over getting your business) Will recommend to others and can't wait to use the service again myself." P.C. - Philadelphia, PA
