No doubt: The room is cheap, free parking is a big big advantage and the location is great. But the rooms are very basic, don't even have a fridge and the host was not willing to keep some cheese (still packed in the original packing) in a fridge. We've been to another motel (just oposite the street) before and thougt,... More

The folks that leave horrible reviews arent incorrect but they are snobs. The hotel is humble and is in the traditional 'classic motel' motif with an almost wild-west second level catwalk facing the southern sun. I had to purchase a space heater from CVS to keep myself warm on these cold autumn nights and the towels are cheap and scratchy... More

It was fantastic! If I was a person that didn't have any sort of interest in Jim Morrison or the Doors, this place probably wouldn't be first on my list...or on my list at all, but since I am...

The police came as soon as we got there because of gun fire and possible drugs in the room next to ours. On the other side of us was transgender call girls doing their jobs with the men. When my brother-in-law came to pick us up there was a giant cricket in the bed. and burn marks in a non... More

We stayed there for 6 nights and i must say i expected something really worse. The room was not so bad, no bed bugs tho as other reviews say. Bed was small but quite comfortable, the room was cleaned every day. It is not a 5 star hotel but if you dont want to pay a fortune for hotel and... More

My husband and I stayed here on June 19 and 20. We requested room 32 where Jim Morrison had lived part of the time. The room is great! There is writing all over the walls, honoring him with his own lyrics and other praises. The room had new carpet put in a few months back and it was very clean.... More

I booked into this seedy dive for one reason only, and that was to spend an afternoon in Jim Morrison's room, Number 32. It truly is a disgusting little hole in-the-wall, and I am surprised that anyone besides drug dealers and Doors fans actually frequent the place....that being said, it is a piece of Los Angeles history and I truly...

First off, this review is way, way, way overdue but I thought it was necessary to share my experience. I cannot remember exactly how much I paid but cause I stayed for more than a week, there was a weekly charge which is cheaper when you divide it by the number of days. I'm pretty sure it was either the... More
