Bell Gardens Inn Los Angeles — Hotel in Bell Gardens

This place seems more like a halfway house than a motel. The rooms are very accurately depicted on websites (at least mine was) and are actually quite nice, though sparce. There's no table, luggage rack or clock radio that somebody could steal or use to break a window. They spared every expense at furnishing it too. Even the towels are smaller than typical hotel towels. The mattress and pillows were a little too firm for me as well.

You need to be buzzed into the lobby at all hours. I missed the fine print that a $100 security deposit is due upon check-in. In fact, their credit card machine was broken (or so they said), so I had to pay for the room in cash too. Luckily they have an ATM right there to serve you, with a withdraw limit below what I needed, so I had two transaction fees.

They issue you a TV remote with your key card and threaten to withhold your deposit if you don't return them upon checkout. There were so many other rules and fee schedules posted on the window, I didn't have time to read them all. Some appeared to be geared for the long term residents.

The family working there was very nice, and gave me the WIFI password when I walked back to the office to get it (the password isn't provided in the room), but I was unable to get a copy of my receipt at first because the guy was in the shower. Housekeeping seems top-notch, but cleaned my room mid-stay when they weren't supposed to.

I usually don't care where I sleep, and this place ended up being adequate with no major complaints, plus I got my deposit back without a hassle, but it just felt wrong on too...

This was the worst hotel i have ever been to! The furniture is really old, the bed is uncomfortable with old sheets. As soon as I saw the conditions the room was in I wanted to leave, I sat on the bed and right away I saw a cockroach staring at me from the head board of the bed I was disgusted. I took a picture of it and showed it to the owner he was really rude he was angry and said that wasn't here we wanted our money back he refused. I had been in that room for less than 30 min. I did not stay I ended up leaving. Also the good the reviews about this hotel are a lie the owner probably made them himself! Este es el peor hotel que puedes ir todo esta viejo la cama esta incomoda y hasta cucarachas hay! Cuando le tome una foto a las cucarachas y se la enseñe al dueño el se molesto. No quiso darnos nuestro dinero fue muy grosero. No me quede me fui no pude quedarme las condiciones del cuarto estuvieron horribles. Si escuchan algo bueno de este lugar de...

I stayed here a few days. Its an older hotel, so I was uncertain, but after I booked the first night and checked out the place, I booked the next 3 nights. Spacious room. Clean! Room had a couch, desk & chair. Microwave & fridge Most importantly, NO BUGS! I actually saw the hired fumigation walking the grounds outside and knowing that this family owned business spent money to ensure clientele don't have to put up with bugs put my mind at ease. Mattress was a little stiff, but I know some people prefer that, too. Near convenience store, bus stop, and restaurants.

Overall, good place. I know where I'll be staying when I...
