Tropicana Inn Motel — Hotel in Los Angeles

Our room smelled like vomit. Not a little bit, not in passing whifs. Pure vomit. As if you are standing next to it. The lady offered me a spray and said she 'had no more rooms and couldn't fix this.' She then took my key card and left me standing outside (we paid $100 cash). She then called the cops on me.

Safe parking lot as well, although it's tiny and can fill up fast on busy nights....
