Budget Inn Hollywood

Well.

There’s a Chick-fil-A next door, and a coke machine.

Well I saw reviews about bugs, and they were not wrong. The bugs were in staying the quote “best room” so at least they had some standards.

Worst environment I've ever encountered

Nothing. I feel partially foolish for not reading the reviews first, but I was looking for the cheapest option. It was $72/night. I was staying 3 nights and splitting the cost with a friend. Our flight got in past midnight so we didn't get to the hotel until after 1:30am. We paid and we were given a plastic card with holes for the key. It was cracked and yet we had to give $20 cash deposit for it. We went to the room and as soon as we opened the door there were red splatters on the wall. I yelped because I thought it t was blood at first, but I think it was something else, maybe a sauce from food. The rest of the room was almost indescribably disgusting. Stains and burns in the covers. The toilet didn't flush. The attendant came up and gave us a plunger to fix it ourselves. That didn't work. After 20 minutes I told the guy we couldn't stay there. He said we had to pay for at least the 1 day since they held the room and we didn't come until late. He said as long as we checked out before 11am we would only checkout the one day. My friend and i uses the rest of the time to call around to other places. Found a hotel 2 blocks away, Saharan motor lodge, only $4 more a night and honestly for the price it was AMAZING! heated pool, wifi, night security and oh yeah, it was CLEAN! When we went to check out at 9am, a new guy was there. He said we had to pay for 2 days since we stayed the night. I ended up arguing with him until he gave me my money back. I have photos, but I don't think I can post them on kayak so I'll put them on yelp, booking.com or where ever else I can put them. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

Unsanitary and unsafe

No light in hallway, completely dark. Soiled stained mattress with dead insects and tears in seams exposing foam and springs. Strong urine odor. Generally unclean and shabby furnishings.
