From Daniel: Ultimately this hotel was selected based on its price per night (cheap) so no high expectations had been set. The room was sufficient in size was reasonably clean albeit a little old.
Depending on which staff you met with would depend on how pleasant the interaction was. Very typical LA type folks (apathetic mostly). Again, I wasn't expecting grandeur so I didn't let it bother me. Some folks would feel the service was not good enough and that's a fair point. It's not hard to be friendly and when it's your job in hospitality.
The Bar at the hotel was extremely basic (and dark) so don't expect that you can relax at the bar in the evenings. Breakfast was basic too; again for the price what do you expect?
The most poignant comment I could make in regards to my stay would be that the low cost of the accommodation does not offset its location. It is in a fairly un-attractive area of town. It's not close to anything and what you spend on taxis to get around (public transport is objectionable, particularly given your pick up location) you would save if you stayed in a more up-market hotel closer to nicer areas.
