Don't go there, even you are prepared!

Complain:
We spent 3 nights there on August. Before we went to Hollywood Express Inn we read through many bad comments here but we though that "It should be fine if we are well prepared". We were wrong! They treated us like we are homelesses begging for a shelter!
Accomodation:
Ofcause, the room was dirty and smelly as you could expected from a cheap hotel. They lied about Wifi internet connection and Microwave. You have to pay $10 deposit for the remote control, the refrigurator is in a bad shape, the bath room curtain was dirty and smell like a rotten fish, and lastly, "have your own towel, soap, and shampoo" is my healthy recommendation.
Security:
The neighborhood is unkind especially if you have to come alone at night, beggers are everywhere and number of noisy cars will wake you up all night (I'm glad that I haven't heart any gun fire yet). On the second day I found that my expansion zipp was opened! Somebody might have tried to open my baggage! Fortunately I locked it securely before I left the room (part of the well prepare things). In responding to my self-awareness, I had no ice bucket and there is a pile of dirt in the bath tub in that day. Perhaps if I intended to left some dollars unattened I might be treated better.
Hospitality:
The manager is not kind. Before I came I called her to ask about direction but she refuse to give anything unless I have booked her room or give her my creditcard number. On the check-out date she phoned me on 11:00 AM and said "Check out time!" I asked her for 15 minutes more for packing the stuff. On 11:15 she called again and told "I have to clean the room". Isn't the check out time is 12:00? Why she keep chasing us after spent 3 awful nights in this shelter?
