Wanting to save some $$ we stayed there for a month while our home was being repaired. I had stayed at the Bartlett Motel when I first came to L.A. after a stint in the USAF. They have done (and are still doing) work to modernize/ improve the rooms. (while we were there, they repaired & restriped the parking lot) The on-site staff are very nice Indian people who will help you when needed. We had trouble with our TV remote but John fixed it. We accidentally locked ourselves out, John politely & without sarcasm let us back in. The cleaning woman did everything with a smile. The owner(manager?) Dan was polite. As for the rooms, very little to complain about. I liked our room #110. The bed was comfortable. It showed a little wear but it did not hurt our backs. The microwave was only 700watts but it worked. The refrigerator kept things cold & was bigger than many I've seen at orher Hotels. I saw only 1 bug while I was there. I did find well camouflaged "scribblings" (graffiti) on 2 of the wall hangings. They looked like signatures, they weren't. We noticed the shower rod was loose, but got a new one the next day. I liked how you could park right outside the door & the outside lighting. There's a laundry facility right next door behind the Liquor Store. There's a Mexican Food restaurant directly to the West. All in all a good time was had. The other tenets were quiet. We wanted to extend an extra week but we were told they had already "sold out" ->our room too, meaning we needed to pack up & go elsewhere since our place isn't fixed yet. That, to me, was not a great moment as we had to scramble to relocate in just 2 days. But such is the industry. Rooms must be filled. Would we return, absolutely. It's in our backyard practically. The AMC Theater chain is just down the street. There are many restaurants nearby, & Lomita isn't far from the beach. **MESSAGE TO THE OWNER** KEEP UPDATED ON MAINTENANCE. I saw a few things (I told you about) but you are going in the right direction.
Probably one of the only cost efficient motels on PCH that doesn't have roaches. Extremely well kept property. The bed is a little soft and the toilet paper is a bit rough but other than that I have zero complaints! I would definitely stay again.
Owner is nice, place is clean, haven't seen a bug there in the last 3 years I've stayed there every couple months for a few days. Rooms have refrigerators and microwaves. All rooms are non smoking. Can smoke on property outside your door. Plenty of stores within walking distance. Liquor store and laundry mat next door. Will continue staying there. I'm pretty sure anyone giving a negative review or mentioning Roaches are Karen's. Lol
