Melrose Hostel — Hotel in Los Angeles

Before anything I think it's fair to say that this was my first experience at a hostel. I might say a few things here that one that is used to stay at this kind of place might say "so what?" Therefore, consider that I'm new at this.||I had this trip to Los Angeles on March 2nd and my activities there were concentrated at night. Therefore I needed a cheap place to crash in the morning for a few hours before going out to eat and back to my business at night. I booked this hostel indicated by Jetblue and I thought that it was a sign of dependability. The bottom line is that I had the worst experience ever with an accommodation.||I arrived there around 5am and rang the bell 300 times and no one showed up to open the door. I took a nap in my car until a guest, that was leaving, open the door and I managed to slip in. I stayed in the "lobby" for a couple of hours until a guy, with a bowl of strawberries, just passed by me to, what I found out later, was the kitchen. He went in and out, just passing by me twice, and din't bother to ask if I needed anything. When I asked him if he worked there he said yes, "can I help you? lol"||I was almost sleeping on my shoes, so I checked in and BEGGED him gently to put me on his darkest room so I could take a good rest. He took me to a room with the shades broken and led me to a bed right beside the window. I relocated myself to the farthest bed from the window and crashed. About 2 hours later I woke up with a gentlemen cleaning the room, banging all over and (believe it or not) spraying febreze all over the room. That was the enlightenment moment when I realize that I had tossed my money in the toilet. I got up and left with my luggage without anyone asking me why. Do I need to tell you why he was spraying febreze all over the room? (Yeah, I thought so). I booked a REAL hotel room to spend the rest of the stay, and that saved my life. My conclusion??? If you chose to stay in a place like that just to save 10 or 15 bucks, good luck. That's when I found out that I'm ...

I stayed at this hostel back in 2018 when I first came to LA. It was drama because there were a group of people from a network marketing company I was involved with Called Organo. One of two of their leaders Jose Luna who was a Diamond and his fiance Gabriela Ortiz. They both got kicked out of Organo after I left once I realized they were both liars. Them and their team, took the opportunity to targeted me since they knew I traveled a lot to monitoring my emails and phone to keep up with where I am. Then, they called people from their team in the city or state that I am in to lie so they can come to my location to stake the opportunity to steal. If you check, their biggest story in the company are house keepers. So, they have housekeepers and the front desk and the other thieves they sent there to do the dirty work behind the scenes. I think they go from one company to the next by lying and I think they hacked these people's system to steal prospects. They literally steal these people's database and get their prospect from there by either emailing or making phone calls. I was not able to understand what they were doing since they are professionals. Once they were done with one company, they lied or make my life a living hell so I can leave and they follow me there and do the same thing to the next business. I gave this place a 2 star because when I tried to explain this to the person the short dude told me was the manager, she said she did not wan to speak to me. It might be a lie since they lied a lot. Other than that, the female room is overcrowded and that is another thing I did not like because it smells if the windows are not open. It's hard to sleep when the windows are open because of the...
