Comfort Inn Downtown Los Angeles

We were told to park our car on the street next to homeless people with tents set up. They didnt even offer anything complementary for making us find parking on some random side street downtown. I asked for a manager he’s not even going to be here till Monday. The lady at the front desk was rude and unaccommodating. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone unless you like shitholes with bad service

Located more in the rundown area outside of LA. At first glance, they do a good job making the inn look nice and clean with décor. The lobby is squeaky clean and it gives a good first impression of what the rooms might be like.
I was very wrong.
I was assigned the 3^rd floor queen room. All I have to say is the carpet was stained in different areas, my window view was the side corridor where all the vending machines were, and my bathroom had chipped off tiles and pieces that made it seem like little bugs. And to top it all off, one of those spotty dots actually turned out to be a roach. I went back to the lobby and demanded for a room change. They only had one extra room which was a queen double. The room was bigger but still had poor carpets and the paint job was rusting off. Bathrooms were tiny and still had a lot of chipped off areas on the floor.
All in all, this place is decent for its location and amenities (free wifi, free parking, satellite TV with HBO, free breakfast).
That’s the .5.

Stay here frequently when going to the Staples Center or Nokia Theater.
Like:
Location (about a mile from Staples/​Nokia)
Price (always around $ 100 or less)
Free paper
Breakfast (although I think I have only eaten it once)
Don’t Like:
The rooms are a bit cramped (Just enough room to walk around sides of beds)
Depending on where the room is, can be very warm inside. (Had to keep the A/​C on all night)
Parking can be difficult. (Last time we stayed, the night manager instructed us to park in between the 2 handicapped parking spots. It clearly states to NOT park there, but it was the only option. Other patrons park on the sides where it is red. I do like that the lot is lit very bright)

Nothing but good words for the staff here, who go above and beyond the call of duty, whether that means finding a larger room or sending up more towels. Of particular interest to our group was the waffle maker, the cinnamon raisin bagels were decent as well.

THIS HOTEL HAS BED BUGS! DO NOT STAY HERE!
I stayed at the Comfort Inn at 1710 W. 7^th St, Los Angeles, CA 90 017 from August 21^st, 2011 to August 23^rd, 2011. During my stay I had the absolute worst experience. When I first arrived in the room, I noticed the carpet was stained beyond belief and there was a strong odor of must in the room. I tried to turn on the TV to find out that it was not working and neither was the remote. The next day I woke up with bites all over my back, sides of my body, and legs. I originally felt like it may have been an allergic reaction to the detergent on the sheets. The following day I woke up worse with bites all over my neck, face, feet, and more on my back. I searched the mattress thoroughly looking for bed bugs. Sure enough I found the source of bed bugs along with brown streaks on the white sheets consistent with a bed bug problem. I informed an employee and they said management would call me. I had to throw all of my clothes away (including my shoes, backpack, laptop case all due to egg infestation), miss a day of work, and purchase $ 35 worth of medication which I expect to be reimbursed for. The manager Oscar Gonzalez has ignored and not returned any of my calls and now the hotel has blocked my number. I wanted to make sure this never happens to anyone else.

I’ve stayed here several times and have enjoyed it very much. Yes, the area nearby can be challenging but Langer’s, an historic and well known deli is just about a block away. Also, a superb little Mediterranean place is within the block.
The warm pool is one of the main reasons I return along with the breakfast and a pleasant desk clerk/​manager, Sylvia.

My bf and I stayed here because we got tickets to watch the game at Staples Center and since we were on a budget. The room was only $ 70.95 per a night and it includes breakfast. So hey we weren’t expecting much from it.
Clean room, friendly staff, parking kinda sucks if you arrive late at night because there is barely any, and free breakfast (not much of a selection but I can’t complain, saves money and it’s food). It’s not 4 start hotel so hey you get what you pay for.

So after driving all the way from the SF Bay Area for a music festival (EDC) we finally had arrived in the LA area around 10 and we really needed to have an early check in so we could get ready for a music festival that started in a few hours– they finally had a room for us around noon and by the looks of it they getpretty busy during edc and other events with a bunch of teenagers and young adults hahah
long story short:
good clean rooms, friendly staff, $ 2 aday parking, ok area, type of place where u stay if you need a good nights rest after a long day of dancing your butt off at the sports arena. while rooms are kind of small they are not expensive so id stay here again.

Having read the review on here we were not expecting much at all. We arrived at 10pm and I must admit we were a little nervous about the location as it seamed very run down.
The staff were pleasant and checked us in swiftly. There was a lift, this is very important when you’ve been travelling for 24hrs and are on the 3^rd floor! The room it self was massive and the bathroom was clean and tidy. The TV in the room had dodgy reception and the Internet was patchy which was very annoying but the beds were extremely comfortable and there was air-​conditioning that worked also a fridge and microwave.
The breakfast was second to none bagels, cereal, coffee, juice, muffins, toast, fruit and waffles all for FREE but they start clearing up at bang on 9:30 so don’t mess about otherwise you’ll miss out.
The whole building seams to be being refitted so gets extra marks from me and the guys doing the work were pleasant and accomodating getting out of the way or warning you of wet paint, my friend was made jump by one guy shouting so she didn’t bump into some I don’t know who was more surprised her by him or him that someone had arrived as soon as his back was turned, he was very appologetic after and always had a nice smile for us afterwards.
The area itself had lots going on with macathur park a couple of blocks down and an extremly highly rated deli 2 blocks away both of our local friends that visited both commented about it although we weren’t lucky enough to try it.
I would recomend this place to friends and would probably stay there again. I didn’t think the customer service was that bad but the car parking or rather lack of it could be an issue and defiantly a pain in the butt if you had to get up and move your car at 8am or some other stupid time.

For the money, this place is what i thought it’d be
The neighborhood is safe enough and the pool is nothing to write home about, but better than a kiddy pool

I was attracted to the low rates and location and was quickly repelled by the low customer service and trashy location. I can’t believe places like this really exist. I felt like I was staying in a third world country still in the iron curtain.
The front desk when scanning my credit card actually triggered the safety on (deactivating it) and ruined my entire visit to LA.
I also found it interesting that when I would arrive back in there poorly monitored parking lot at 1am or so there would be no parking at all. When I asked where I would park my car, the concierge told me to park in front of their entrance (are you serious??? Who does that???). Then the next morning at 6am I get a rude awakening on the phone demanding that I move my car.
So I guess the moral here is you get what you pay for. Places like this should be shut down and used to house the homeless people that roam around it property.

No No No, not under any circumstances.
My bff stayed here last week for one night, not understanding what «downtown» meant when she booked it. I think she thought «how bad can a Comfort Inn be?» Which, usually, is true.
But.
She couldn’t sleep because she was so frightened – she heard someone getting DUCT taped in the room next to her. She saw some some shady characters lurking in the hallways… poor thing checked out the next morning and ended up in the fricking valley cos everything decent was booked.
