Downey Inn — Hotel in Downey

For 1 bed its currently $320. Based on reviews from two different rating sites, I didn't expect too much. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! The rooms/bathrooms are clean. No foul odors. The fridge works good. The sheets & towels were white, and again...odor free. There were a few minor simple furniture repairs that needed to be done (cigarette burn on the chair, paint chips on nightstand, backing came off the entertainment center, etc) but nothing that affected the overall stay. The AC works great.||There were three main reasons why I had to dock a star. One was that they had a kid in the room above me that liked to run around at all hours of the night. I feel like the kid & family should have maybe stayed on the bottom floor, so his/her running wouldn't affect anyone directly below. The second reason for scoring under perfect was the housekeeping. The timing was inconsistent, so for a couple of the days I told them to just forget about any services at all. The first day I woke up there, I left at 10am, only to come back at 9pm and see that my room had not been serviced. Ok, fine... I figured they'll only service on a weekly basis since I'm staying an entire week. The second day, I got caught up watching movies and chatting online. So when I fall asleep around 2am, I don't really expect someone to come knocking at 11am to clean my room. WTF? Where was this lady when I was gone the whole day before? ||So, next day, I plan on waking around 10 45 so I can leave in time for them to service the room. WRONG! They now start knocking around 10 am. Different housekeeper, but some consistency would be nice. Or how about you do like the other hotels and just track who's not in the room and clean it when they're gone? Lastly, my third reason for minus one star was cuz they advertise a microwave with their rooms. The microwave is actually a community one, downstairs in the lobby, for everyone to share. Its a bit misleading, but not too too big of a deal.||There's usually ample parking here. I've seen it get crowded one night out of the 6, but probably just cuz it was the weekend. The staff is friendly and helpful. They do have an elevator (for 3 levels) that...

I wanted to pay as little as possible and really just wanted a bed to sleep in for a few nights. Therefore, I did not have high hopes for this place but I still ended up checking out early!! The front desk staff gave incredibly poor service and could barley speak English which caused a lot of problems. I turned up for my original booking which I had booked weeks in advanced to find they had given my room up and I was stuck with no where to stay. The room was incredibly old and dirty, it even had ants crawling all over the bathroom and the shower did not work properly. The room smelt very strongly of smoke which even started to make my clothes smell a little! The motel attracts a lot of young people who seem to want a room for the night just to preform acts they can't do else where, if you get my drift! Very noisy throughout the night with the guests loitering around and proving rather intimidating. I felt unsafe despite the surrounding area being quite a nice neighbour hood. Only plus side was the bus stop is right outside and there are two malls either side of the motel but, this is defiantly not worth the rest of it! Like I said, I was not expecting much at all, I was expecting to get what I had paid for but, this was not even worth it. I have stayed at other motels similar in LA and this has proved the worse. I read these reviews before I made my reservation but booked anyway... should have listened!!! (Oh and the...
