Custom Hotel

I didn't like this hotel at all! The parking was horrible. The environment was not family friendly ( or even friendly to someone who has morals friendly)The decor leaves a lot to be desired. I felt like I was in a big closet with a sink. I would have never in my life picked this place on my own. The one positive the staff there was great.

The staff is friendly and professional. The hotel's location is excellent for that area of the city. Close to the airport and the beaches.The rooms are clean and efficient with comfortable beds and quality linens. The hallways are a bit of a shock as they have been painted dark Grey and there is no natural light to soften the somewhat nightmarish effect.

The room is clean and orderly, albeit somewhat spartan. The in-room vending is interesting. There were minor problems with the room that were immediately taken care of. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Room was pretty small. $40 of valet parking is outrageous.

Price and location is good if traveling near LAX. Entrance is not on the street, but down a dark alley that was a little intimidating at night. Halls are painted dark gray with dark gray carpets. Also, a little intimidating for a female traveler. Rooms are a little better than a hostel. Just the basics. Had to move rooms twice, first room smelled like turpentine, second room smelled like a sewer. Hotel was accommodating with both moves. Good for business travel, free WiFi with no access code and in-room safe large enough to hold a laptop. read more

The rooms are barely cleaned or serviced while you're there, and the minimalist decor isn't really user-friendly (poor lighting, uncomfortable bed, nowhere to put your clothes, etc).

Youthful. Trendy - too much so.
