Review from Sarah G.

For the price we paid to stay in this amazing inn, it made me mad how much money I spend living in LA every day!
We stayed in a suite here, and this suite was only $65 a night!! Complete with a mini fridge, coffee maker, a sitting room with love seats and chairs and a desk, the bedroom with a king size bed and large tv, and the bathroom with plenty of space and a whirlpool tub!!! You would have to pay an east $200-$300 at least in LA for a room the size of this, and for a room with all of these amenities. Oh ya and free wireless and continental breakfast too with coffee and pastries and cereal and bagels.
The bed is so comfortable, and the room so spacious and relaxing, but the only downside to this place, is the fact that it isn't really located anywhere near anything other than a few fast food restaurants. There is a pool and a bar in the hotel next door which I guess they have an agreement with to let the guests of the inn on broadway use, so that is also a nice feature, especially for once it gets warmer. They told us that this place fills up for the annual races each year, and it is located really close to the red mile racetrack too.
Great buy as long as you have a car to get you places from there! -

So I'm the second to review. What a difference 2 years makes.
I've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years, from the most humble to the grandest. This tops the list. That is, the list of "Dirtiest, broken down, appalling" hotels.
This probably was a nice place, once upon a time. Then, whoever owns it seemed to quit caring - too bad. So, relegated to unsuspecting travelers (like me), college kids and who-knows-who else, this property slowly settles into the dust they can't seem to keep up with.
We asked to see another room; perhaps it was the one we were in. A kind night clerk showed us another which was modestly cleaner, but had the oddity of the outlet for the nightstand lamp and clock being behind a bolted on headboard--inaccessible. Since I like a lamp beside the bed and even an alarm clock, I passed on moving. Sigh.
Rooms are worn out; huge dirt and dust issues, beds worn out (kinda goes with the place), linens with stains, hair and holes, a Continental breakfast from some small, sad continent other than our own. The website brags about recent renovation; don't know who did it, but there's construction shortcuts aplenty, and the place is falling apart.
Upsides? Certainly cheap, some pretty friendly staff that seems to have boarded the same "Oh, well" bus that the owners and property managers are on.
So, the room's under $70 a night, which is certainly lower than the nearby national hotel chains, and like others, I thought I'd save a few bucks after reading some reviews here on Yelp and elsewhere that were generally positive. Lesson learned: Those reviews are a couple years old, and it's been a hard couple of years on this old girl - she's showing her age and she desperately needs a bath.
Avoid, unless you like roughing it.
