Needs a complete overhaul. Unclean - look at the Google reviews. Should be removed from the hotel list until it has improved, association damages Expedia's reputation.

The last resort
The tv didn’t work. The shower head didn’t work and sprayed water in all directions. There were only two outlets so it was hard to charge our devices. We had to unplug the heater to charge our phones. The room was tiny and very rundown with grimy curtains, and peeling paint.
There were a few positive things. The office managers were friendly and helpful. The parking was free. The location was very convenient to the art fair at the Santa Monica airport. And the price was reasonable.

Don’t stay here
Horrible! Dirty room … holes in the wall… tv did not work. You’re required to leave a $20 cash deposit for room key. Definitely not the place to stay.

I would highly recommend NOT staying here. There were bugs on floor and holes in the bathroom walls with mold in them. Pillow had stains on it and the door had no deadbolt lock, just the handle lock. If you wanted to keep the room key it was a $20 deposit. Felt sketchy. I ended up buying another hotel for my 2 nights that was cheaper and much cleaner/safer.

The guy that runs it is nice enough. But nothing worked except the light's. It was terribly dirty and very cramped. Oh and there is a $20 CASH deposit for the key fyi. So o had to go about half a mile to the nearest ATM to get cash.
Honestly its way overpriced for what you get.
