Sunset Motel

Very afforable motel, not far from university. Worth staying if on a tight budget.

The service at the desk was very helpful even as they were very very busy. The extra help getting a cab, etc., was no problem, the room was fun, a round bed with a mirror on the ceiling and a Hot Tub that could hold my car. Its a great cheep sleezy clean motel. Its fun.

Dont have family come see u theyll try n charge u or kick u out or theyll tell u to cancel ur stay with hotels .com n give u a better deal

I was concerned about the appearance of the area driving in, but found it clean and safe. No one on the streets, quiet.

The area was not the safest, and my room was supposed to be ready by 2pm and it was 3:30 before it was ready. Then the 2nd day they never cleaned it. I had to go track someone down to get towels not happy with experience

Older 50s motel. But the owner is doing remodel and fresh stucco and paint, flat screen tv, fridge, and micro. It worked for me but I do not need much. Very good selection of TV channels with full Direct TV line up.

Room took awhile to cool off as air as not on. Quiet & nice.

The room was clean and the bed reasonably comfortable. Bring your own soap and shampoo because the stuff they provide is the cheapest and worst in the world. Overall I would have given it a 3 star and said you get what you pay for, BUT, the front desk staff is terrible and managed to ruin the experience. I arrived and the person at the front desk couldn't be made to understand that I had already paid for the hotel online and that I shouldn't have to pay again. It literally took me 30 minutes of working with this guy and pulling up various confirmations on my phone to get checked in. Once I'd finally checked in, he told me I had to take a smoking room even though I'd reserved non-smoking. Personally I don't care because I'm a smoker, but for a non-smoker this could be really annoying. The next morning, housekeeping opened the door to my room without knocking AT 8:00AM! I asked them to come back later, and they did the same thing at 10:30. That's fine, 1/2 hour before checkout I can understand, but I wasn't ready to go yet so I called the front desk (using my cellphone, BTW, as there was a phone in the room but it wasn't connected to the wall). The front desk told me that late checkout would cost $10/hr. I told the guy that was crazy and I'd never heard of such a thing (I'm not sure how good his English was, he may have thought I called him crazy) , at which point he became irate and proceeded to lecture me about why his policy is reasonable.

This motel was very comfortable, pretty clean (there were a few hairs found though!), and the appliances all worked perfect. We put new batteries in the remote but otherwise, the tv worked just fine as well. For people that are looking for a five star hotel at a two star price, you're not going to find it here, but if you need a safe place to sleep, this is perfect for you. About 40 min inland from LA, it wasn't the most convenient, but it was only about 3 minutes from the highway. I would definitely stay here again. The bathroom was nicely updated as well. Towels and toiletries were provided (toothbrush, toothpaste, razor). The air conditioner was off when we arrived, but only took about 15 minutes to completely cool the place down. Staff was friendly and they were at the front desk when we arrived close to midnight, which was very relieving to us.

If I could rate this a zero I would! Terrible customer service! The first room I was given was a mess, wasn't cleaned from the previous people who stayed. The second room was dirty as well!! I would not recommend staying here at all!!
