West End Hotel — Hotel in Los Angeles

RUN!!!! This place is a nightmare! Biggest mistake I ever made, the owners and management will lie to you and make you pay illegal taxes that legally had to all be paid back after the first 30 days, but they fraudulently misrepresented that they were a hotel and kept charging multiple tenants these fees and illegal $200 fees with no receipts and then when you demand your money back will file invalid eviction papers. The Housing Dept and City Attorney have also responded to this situation and are investigating. However, they clearly aren’t aware of Wrongful Eviction lawsuits that make them all personally liable! There is lead paint, (paint chipping off the walls) roaches, no air conditioning, no heat and the building is just not kept up. And why would anybody want to be harassed? Imagine you’re living in a building and the first incident the manager tells you that he “accidentally” ended up on your Facebook and found your modeling pics, then he starts asking for you to show him more pics, and then you find out the psycho building manager Arthur Chang has run around asking tenants if they are sleeping with you? You could not creep me out more than this guy did -like what a psycho! I woke up to text messages about this from a tenant who stated Arthur was running around asking tenants where I was, and looking over his shoulder trying to see who he was texting, and then asks him if he was “doing” me and I was livid! Disgusting trash human!My lawyer almost fell over when I was showing him the videos of the owners wife Anita Tabaroki and this building manager threatening me to give them $200 with NO receipt….. So will update once they are served on the WRONGFUL...

When I was living here, David and Louise both manage this place. They were clearly ripping me off every month, as my stay with the monthly. They told me that I could not get a hotel room if I did not have great credit, so I filled out the form.

Then, they told me, after 30 days, I would not be able to stay there, because my credit was bad. When has credit ever had anything to do with a security deposit for a hotel?

Then, David told me that I needed to change my name on the hotel room every 30 days that way I can stay there despite my bad credit. What he was really doing is making sure that every 30 days of different person was listed under the room, so he can charge me the taxes.

The taxes range between $150 to $200, and he will pocket this for himself. Anyone who has worked at a hotel in Los Angeles knows that after 30 days of living there, your state becomes tax free.

By changing my name every month, he prevented me from receiving my tax free credit. And that is not the worst thing that they have done to me there. It's just that this stuff has happened so long ago, I am choosing to try and let it go.

If you're looking for a place to stay on a short-term basis, I would recommend this place. However, the longer you stay here, the longer you read the David and Louise trying to run a...

DO NOT LISTEN TO Jim Krisvoy. He was NOT living at this motel in 2018, so he would NOT know anything about which managers managed this motel and which ones didn't.

They (David & Louise) used to rip off their tenants by forcing us to tell them our credit scores. When a guest is staying at a hotel or a motel, it is not based on their credit score at all.

That was David & Louise's way of picking off who should be paying an extra $200 a month, and who shouldn't. Every time that they make you change your name at that motel, that name then has to reserve that room for longer than 30 days in order to have a tax-free stay for the rest of the time after the 30 days. It was a scam!!!

I am glad to know that this Motel has improved and has gotten rid of those...
