I was happy and we had a wonderful stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/08/08
I stayed a whole week, it was cheap nice, great sleep quite, close to the port of los angeles which is industrial, i went to the queen mary, was able to go to the beaches,los angeles, in 15 minutes...
about the rooms we had a fullsize bed very clean room, but older, with our own kitchen refrigerator, stove..... great discovery...... its a hostel but like a hotel everything is private,
a lot of internationals, business travelers i met people from germany, austrailia, france, china we all had fun. mind you the hotel is very quite,
oh, i asked why the bad reviews the owner stated sometimes people come in with 3 or more people and try and stay in the rooms, and they have to turn them away...... And they get mad because of the cancellation policy like they said a lady came from las vegas with a family of six or seven and wanted to stay in one room they said that the rooms only have fullsize beds, big problem, plus she came at 1 am in the morning inwhich management had kindly waited up, only to see a troupe of people.
slow claudette and older manager but super sweet couldn't believe it, they had to pay a cancellation fee because we couldn't accommendate their stay she said, within a week we had a bad review, and was expecting it because the lady was super mean and hard and unreal, although the review wasn't valid, they said we are still generally booked to capacity.
and she said that unless your a world traveler, national, international 99% like the place it's the 1% that are crude and rude.
she said as i saw that they have businessmen, corporate people, conventioneers, cruiseship patrons, airline staff, i can't remember all she said.... but i understood.
Its right next door to the port authority police, fbi , and they say
homeland security. its desolate, in a industrial location. Staff is nice, veronica is from some island heavy accent, claudette is zany and reality she's slow and the slow check in they say is true with her, but douglass is and actor and good one he's in the play ragtime in los angeles, i think that maybe all of the people i met, i saved sooo much money met great people who where going to conventions, or touring around.
oh, cecelia & candy they are beautiful but you will hardly see them.....
OOOOH, my jack is super cool he's knowledgable about the area history etc.... great guy.
I saved money , did my business stayed in a very clean place
clean sheets, nice spread, good room .... very quite.....
oh, some of the rooms have ac now, some don't but your next to the ocean so it wouldn't seem like such a big deal with the ocean air, although its industrial the air seems better then los angeles.
by the way the place was so clean you could see your reflection in the floor as you go to the lobby. and note that they clean it every day, rooms are clean on check out, Its more like self serve but what do you expect for $29.99 - $35.99 or the cheapest deals at $250.00 -350 a week stay.
oh, someone said that there where homeless people around i didn't see one and we walked between from the port which is cool late at night because the management said that fishes jump on the water on a full moon......
and i walked down to anahiem and no site of crazy homeless people plus we had some european people with us and no body was threaten or scared.
so i decided to talk to management about this they said that because los angeles is a tourism place and warm, She the beautiful manager said that they don't suffer homeless.high crime because they don't have high residences around they are isolated, And after september 11th the police are really strong in the area.. the sidewalks are large open you can see most of the store shops they have and internet cafe called haleys down the street, great food, great food all around. fantastic store santa 2nds
i was very happy with my stay at the monterey inn anyway i wrote this i came i saw i conquered
