Rodeway Inn near Melrose Ave

Property is ugly from the outside, overall clean updated rooms. The property from the outside looks pretty dumpy. Secured gated parking garage is very small. Front desk staff was friendly. The breakfast is pre wrapped "grab in go" snack type. The room, honestly way better than expected considering the outside of the property. The carpets were clean, even with white socks on(iykyk). Linens were clean and fresh. Rooms have been updated pretty recently, they were nice. It is in LA so safety is always a concern but close to nicer neighborhoods so wasn't too bad. My daughter and I felt safe walking to the grocery store next door. Overall we will stay here again when in the area.

Basic motel room It’s just a basic motel room. The pros: - 7/11, CVS pharmacy, 24/7 donut shop, and a convenience store all within walking distance - functioning hair dryer and iron in room - the pool in the pictures is no longer there, but the courtyard is a lovely spot to sit in the sun on the outdoor furniture provided - can catch a glimpse of the Hollywood sign from out the front of the property - toiletries provided in the shower - laundry room is handy, (have to have own powder as none available for purchase), $2.25 a wash and $2 a dry, quarters only - we arrived prior to check in and reception held our bags for the hour while we went for a walk The cons: - the beds are VERY small, so expect to get cosy - I didn’t get phone reception here and the wifi didn’t work for over half of our stay which was disappointing - it’s nice to have bagels provided at breakfast at reception, but the double sided toaster is broken, so it’s quite a wait if you’d like your bagel toasted - the rooms don’t get turned down til about 4pm. So after you’ve had a big day out, you return back to an unmade room with no fresh towels, etc. then you have to occupy yourself in the courtyard while the room is turned down - requesting fresh towels from reception is pointless, they will never arrive - the female reception staff do not speak, and you’d be very lucky to have them even look up from their phones The facilities were clean and I would be comfortable to stay here again

Diamond in the rough We loved everything about this place. The front desk and maintenance man to the small but perfect free breakfast. The rooms were adorable and had everything we needed. We will be back!!! Thank you for a great visit!!! _

Clean and affordable Clean, looks like newly remodeled and affordable. With secured paid parking. Good location if you are going to universal studio Hollywood. No complaints. We will definitely come back and stay again. ____

Night shift attendant Elsa is lazy, stays on cellphone all night with personal calls rather than helping hotel guest Our TV in our room stop working. We called for the night attendant Elsa to trouble shoot TV. She right out refused and had an attitude because we interrupted her personal phone call. She lied and said that she spoke to the manager which later we found out that she never did. I want the manager to call me regarding this person behavior. Our stay was for a week and it was multiple occasions that she was only engaged in her personal phone calls and refused to meet our needs. Rodeway will not be successful if you have an employees who just want to talk on their personal cell the entire night and not help hotel guest. The day shift attendant was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. I hope you guys give her a raise or promotion for her generosity and the pride that she gives in representing your company. Thanks.
