Wilshire Orange Hotel — Hotel in Los Angeles

No running cold water in the shared bathroom which was grubby and outdated. Major cracks on the terrace floors and only one clean towel from a Sunday arrival to Saturday Departure. No-one on reception only phone numbers ..not even visiting times and a manager lacking in hospitality skills. Grubby dirty doors and filthy curtains more staying at a ghetto type motel. Broken and dirty sit out chairs. Uncared for. The price shouldn't be an excuse for the cleanliness and upkeep as in comparison prices are very high elsewhere in LA. The good points were the room was spacious with a nice view of the street outside. A fridge microwave and a fan were available with no air conditioning as advertised. It had mosquito nets over the windows which was good. The wardrobe was wooden and really old. Cracks on the blocked up fireplace and paint splashes on the carpet. The bathroom was the worst thing about this place. No running cold water from the tap only hot water which I found was too hot and generally a dirty grubby small bathroom. It's close to the Art museum and Acedemy of Motion pictures aswell as a great coffee shop called 'Cafe' which is near the Famers Market. So all in all, apart from the reasonable price for LA this hotel/motel is in dire need of a makeover and is definitely not to...

He said that I 'might' be able to found a 10-hour spot on one of the nearby streets. That's exactly what I wanted to do on a hot day and after driving for hours. Parking was very important for me that's why I made a reservation at the Wilshire Orange Hotel. It seemed like the manager didn't even care that I don't have a place to park and got somewhat annoyed when I asked where should I park my car.||The hotel also looks a little different than on the Tripadvisor's website pic. All the paint is peeling off. And the smell was overwhelming, I started feeling nauseous after the first 5 minutes I spent there. You know that old buildings' plumbing smell, maybe they can't do anything about it but still. I had to cancel my reservation for 4 weeks at this place and look for something else in a hurry. I am glad that I didn't stay even after they charged me $69 for the...
