Staying in Los Angeles is pricey and you have to be ready to get charged for things (like parking) that you may not get charged for in other places. This hotel offered far more services without extra charges, had free parking, was clean, the grounds appeared secure, even though it is in more of an industrial type neighborhood. It wasn't immediately accessible to I-5, but close enough to get to it and leave without a lot of hassle. Staff was attentive and friendly. Breakfast was ample and staff kept it well-stocked during breakfast hours.
