Americas Best Value Inn

Great location, near large mall and short walk to Staples centre. Some convience store near by. Also a couple of small eateries. Hotel appeared to be going through some changes. The room was large enough with two double beds and the beds were quite comfortable. The towels and bedding were thin material. The floor had been done recently. Large fridge and microwave, air conditioning. Bathroom still needs some work, but it was clean. They have dispensers in shower for your needs. Small pool, which they need to clean a bit more and to which they keep locked up. You have to ask them to open it. They told me it was the law. Breakfast included, but we did not take advantage.

Stayed here two nights while in LA. Wanted a room close to downtown and the Staples center. Read mixed reviews but didn't have a problem with the place at all. Bit of a grimy area, as is much of downtown LA, but didn't find it all that dangerous. Compact, clean room with a comfortable bed and all the basic essentials. Good shower. Staff fairly pleasant, and will store bags of needed.

On Nov 30th at 4AM and on Dec 1st whole night starting at 2AM the main fire alarm went off multiple times. We had to grab our jackets and run outside Since the night manager of the hotel was nowhere to be found, we called to report the fire to the Fire Department. Fire departement crew has arrived multiple times and turn off the alarm and leave. After a while the central fire alarm of the hotel will start again and again. I asked Captain Millete what is the problem. He told me, the hotel's fire alarm system is very old. And there is nothing he can do about it. My whole family had no sleep at all for two nights in a row. The person with whom we checked out, told me to contact the management for a refund. The hotel room we stayed in was dirty: bedsheets with blood stains and hair. No hot water on the first night. Broken shower handles. Ancient broken beds with terrible mattresses. Furniture drawers are not closing and missing door. It is the worst hotel we stayed in. This hotel has broken fire alarm system. It is dangerous to stay there!!!
