Extended Stay America Los Angeles - Arcadia

Smells Bad - But Staff Was Nice

This place has a heavy perfume odor when you first walk in and the first room I was in smelled like this hotel is used as a halfway house for alcoholics. The second room smelled like the entrance of the hotel. Mind you, this was not a clean smell but a very heavy sickening perfume smell. However, the staff was very nice. I did not want to touch anything in my room. Not the chairs, the desk, the walls or anything. I did not even unpack. I considered sleeping in my rental car as opposed to this place. I did not see any bugs, but the place is creepy.

Great hotel on a budget

My boyfriend and I stayed here for four nights while visiting family and were a bit hesitant about staying here because of other reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious and clean and the staff was friendly. Our room had a kitchen which we didn’t use for cooking but, it was nice to have a fridge to store water and other drinks we bought. The hotel also had lots of parking and was really close to restaurants, in-and-out, 24 hour fitness, grocery and drug stores. The only gripe I had was the bathroom. It was a bit on the dirty side. It looked like the cleaning was rushed. Fyi...They provide housekeeping only once a week. I think if you request housekeeping more than once a week, there is a fee. We didn’t mind since we don’t require our bed to be changed and made everyday and our room cleaned daily. They provided plenty of towels in our bathroom, so it wasn’t that bad.

OK

Recommend it as a budget hotel, no frills. Price seems to be going up
