Eastsider Motel — Hotel in Los Angeles

Considering the "bad part of town" location, the inside of the rooms were clean. Men running the place didn't speak much English which was difficult when we needed to ask for an extra top sheet and pillows. There were six of us in two rooms (3 beds total, 2 people in each) and one guest is pregnant and requested an extra pillow and a top sheet so she wouldn't have to share. (The beds were equipped with 2 pillows, a top sheet and the "comforter" that all hotel guests know not to use.

That's not how you treat potential valued customers, unless of course our business wasn't valued at all. Long story short, pretty sure dudes racist; and as a person of color wouldn't advise my people putting money in their pocket. Ended up staying at the park motel down the street, Indian family; much...
