Wofford Heights Vacations from $173

I have stayed at this property many, many times over the years. I considered it a hidden jewel when I traveled to LA. The rooms have always been small, but you had what you needed. It was well decorated, and it felt like it had value beyond its affordable price. Before you read further, I would stay here again, given the price and location. But now it's been stripped bare, compared to what it used to be. No check-in personnel at all. Check-in is now done with a kiosk, with what appears to be an offshore individual. No furniture beyond a bed and dollar-store side tables. Not even a chair. They pulled up all the carpet throughout the building, and even removed the "Hollywood"- themed decorations. The TV is there, but it doesn't have any major networks or news sources beyond the local TV affiliates. There was a nice coffee machine, but even it was out of order when I checked in; it didn't work until day three. There was also some sort of odor I can't describe. Luckily, I travel with Febreze. Again, I used to love this place. So this is difficult for me to write. Now, that said. The bed was comfortable and the shower, though very low pressure, was fine. I realize it is not a resort, AND I WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN, given the pricing, just disappointed to see my old friend a mere shell of its previous self.
