Travelodge LAX South

Small room. Wifi won’t VPN. TV is broken. Cock roaches drinking my coffee. Soooo noisy and weird rhythmic thumping in wall.
Walls are so thin, you will hear everything. The pool is clean but very small and the back corner of the fence is open to with a path worn to the street.
Enjoy your stay. I can’t wait to leave.
I added a couple of pictures for proof.
I wish there was a negative star.

We arrived late in the evening and called for a pickup and was advised to take a cab and that we would be reimbursed which we were. Upon arrival I needed to make arrangements for our flight for the next day. However I could not connect to the website and after a time, I asked to use their computer but was advised that it would probably be worse than my iPad. I then asked where the strongest connection would be but again the signals did not connect. We asked for transport to the airport a short time later and was informed that we would have to pay. The guy at the desk said they offer shuttle service only certain hours even though that is not stated on the website. Also there is no telephone in the room. We left after spending half an hour in the room.

Pros: close to airport. Room was decent for the price. Breakfast in the morning is decent.
Cons: The front desk Indian guy is a major a-​hole.!! He was so rude on the phone. I had to wait 45 minutes at LAX airport because they kept sending the shuttle to the wrong terminal. Since it’s a smaller hotel they don’t have the constant shuttle rather it’s per request (TO GET FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE HOTEL). However when you are going from the hotel back to the airport you have to request it a whole hour in advance or pay $ 12 for an immediate pick up. how annoying to make me pay $ 12 to get an immediate ride to the airport when the shuttle is sitting there parked right in front of the hotel and the driver is doing nothing.

Not too bad. Not the best, for sure, but the staff were nice and happy and helpful. There is, however, like — no soundproofing between rooms, something you forget about until someone in the room upstairs checks in after midnight. Or gets a 5am wake up call. Pretty loud no matter how quiet people can try to be.

Date of stay — July 30, 2015
Location wise — excellent. Rooms — good and clean no issues. Desk clerks — they were very helpful. Price for the rooms — out of line for what you get. It seems like they are using the location to their advantage. Then on top of this, they charge you $ 5.00 to park overnight in their lot (come on, really!). Also for the price you pay, the continental breakfast is very poor (did not see any fresh fruit and one of the waffle makers was broken [little suggestion — take it out of service or put a sign on it until it is repaired or replaced] and because of that, people tried to use it — batter left uncooked inside of unit).
Suggestions to the management: Drop the $ 5.00 charge for parking (come on, really!) Then break open your wallet and put a little more love into your continental breakfast and it will make all the foreign travelers that come to your motel welcome to America.

The handicap room is beautiful, bathroom is spacious. It must have happened during the remodeling that is going on.
However, there is a severe lack of soundproofing between floors and when the people above your room come in after 10pm, thumping as though they are holding a roller derby, demolition derby, and throwing bowling balls around until at least 6am. The front desk was no help at all when complained to about them, simply saying «They’re checking out today.» That’s not what you say to customers to keep them.
There is no a place to hang any of the clothes in the room. There wasn’t a hair dryer in the bathroom. There’s no place to put things down in the bathroom with exception of the skinny sink, towel rack and maybe the bench in the shower… but does one really want to put the hairdryer in the shower? The parking lot is narrow and the only place to walk is in the middle of where the cars drive.
If you are desperate, then stay here.

This place is a dump. Constant police activity.

disgusting hotel. When the bedspread was turned down there was pubic hair on the sheets. Needless to say, checked out and into another hotel. Then they did not want to give a refund for that night! Had to dispute it with our credit card. I don’t know how this place stays in business…

Worst parking. Worst «breakfast». Worst sound proofing between floors and rooms. Worst shower water pressure. Worst check out process and front desk staff. Worst value for your money. Worst overall hotel experience.

Haven’t even been to the hotel yet and so far I’ve been displeased. Called for a shuttle from LAX, an hour has now gone by and the shuttle still hasn’t come. Called a few minutes ago saying no one has come yet and got «didn’t you see our van?» Uhh… No otherwise I would have gotten in don’t you think? I saw two travelodge vans but neither were for this location and they didn’t even bother stopping at the pickup. Now I have to wait probably another hour for it to show up and by then it wouldn’t have been worth getting the hotel since I have a 5am flight anyway. Ridiculous.

This is the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in please save your money and book a better hotel there’s blood on the walls, torn carpet, holes in the wall, I have a bite on my back sleeping in the bed, graffiti on the wall… please spend the extra money not to stay here. Reception was rude because I didn’t want to wait 20 minutes for the shuttle, so she putt me in a room that reeked of cigarette smoke, so I moved to a different room, which was worse than the first one. I turned the heater all the way up and striped the sheets off the bed because they were sticky, and checked and rechecked the bed for bed bugs… Omg omg please please do not stay here. Unless you literally have NO other option. Outlets are off the wall and don’t hold a plug. Ewwwwwww, I’m pretty sure this is a brothel, scummy people hanging outside my door… geeze.

This is one of the worst hotels We have ever tried to stay at. The room was disgusting and filthy.
We check on other rooms and they were even worse, the smell was atrocious and their maid is either lazy or the Management just doesn’t care.
I am a Wyndham Rewards customer and I have reported this hotel to the corporate office.
Perhaps a lot of Hookers or Drug Dealers use this place.
Needless to say, we did not stay here, we had made reservation not knowing it was a Pig stye.

Upon arrival, we were ungreeted by a rude gentleman at the front desk. He was very short with us and did not offer a «welcome» or a simple «hello». When we got to the room, my girlfriend was trying to calm me down because I was upset that the TV didn’t work. That lasted about five minutes until we found the used condoms under the bed. Also, upon kissing said girlfriend when I woke up the next morning to say hello, I was interrupted by a vacuum. It was about 9AM. I’ve been to a decent travelodge before, but this one was terrible.

Worst experience ever. Very disappointed!
1. Napkins were stained
2. Restroom wasn’t clean
3. Found a cockroach inside my room … Creepy!
4. Staff is pathetic
5. They promise free shuttle to airport on website, but that is only 5 – 6 times per day. For all other times you have to pay $ 15.
6. Website said free parking but in reality I was charged $ 5 per night
I regret staying there. My suggestion for people looking for a hotel closer to lax is avoid this one.

This hotel is very disappointing. The staff, especially the lady working up front is very bossy and took phone calls about her personal issues. The alarm went off for testing reasons from 11:30−1 one day while I was taking a nap with no heads up. The walls are VERY thin. You can hear everything. The breakfast is terrible, unless you love and only eat carbs. For the price of $ 130 a night, is ridiculous.

I stayed here September 2013 and was pleasantly surprised. My room was clean and well kept up. There might have been a small chip in the tub and/​or sink, and the shower curtain looked a little old, but otherwise it was definitely fine for a budget hotel where you just need a place to sleep.
The room looked freshly painted with crown molding, no funny smells or stains in the carpet or walls. The bed was comfortable and bedding was clean and new, a full-​size mattress good for one person.
There was a little sign by the phone that said that if you forgot any of the «bear essentials» (not a typo; Travelodge’s mascot is a bear) to check with the front desk. Which is great because they gave me a toothbrush and toothpaste since I originally wasn’t planning to stay in LA overnight.
It is definitely a bit loud, as you can hear cars driving by outside, but if your plan is to sleep from 11pm-​6/​7am, then it is quiet during that time.
Parking is an extra $ 5, and the lot does fill up fast, but they have overflow parking directly across the street at the other hotel. The hotel was good enough that I would stay here again if I’m by myself (but would splurge for a little more if I had another person).

Worst hotel ever! Do not stay here!
I checked in and the room was street level and must have been broken into previously as the screen had been praised open from outside and there wasn’t a lock on the window and I was traveling with just my 8yr old daughter so I asked to move rooms.
The front door glass had been smashed in the reception area.
The second room had cigarette burns in the bedding. And was filthy from trash on floor to black hairs in bathroom and worst was a used band aid stuck to the wall.
The walls are paper thin and we could hear everytime the lady next door used to toilet roll. Never mind when she spoke.
My daughter and I slept in our clothes as didn’t want to get in bed as we didn’t know if it was clean. We also put a chair against the door and felt so unsafe. I had booked it on Expedia and prepaid for the room or I would not have stayed it was the most horrific night ever.
I tried to complain to both Expedia and Travel lodge but this hotel is franchised so no way of a refund.

Close to LAX was a plus. The room came with a kitchen and was a nice size room. It’s not in the best area and the room was a bit shabby. The floors were filthy, I left dirt prints in the shower only after walking without my houseshoes twice. The bed and linen was clean (super plus), I didn’t try the continental breakfast but that was one of the reasons for me renting this room.
Noisy, NOISY, NOISY!.. You can hear people partying and talking outside in the middle of the night.
Here’s where it get rough. It’s nice that they provide a free shuttle to the hotel and this is why I am giving them 2 stars. However, the driver drove this ragedy, rickety van like he was a NYC can driver. It was one of the worst rides ever!

The best thing you can say about this property is that it’s five minutes from LAX. After that it goes downhill fast.
The rooms are small, beaten down and while not dirty, a bit greasy. It’s loud. You probably won”t enjoy hauling your luggage up the stairs to the second floor. The beds are ok. Just ok. The laundry room is one washer and dryer (open 8 – 8) which are actually pretty decent (cost $ 1.50 to wash and $ 1.50 to dry). The bathroom was dirty.
The entire place really needed some TLC. Which is to say, like so many other properties great and small, this small motel needs to owners to re-​invest some of the money they are doubtlessly pulling out of it back into it.
The key here is this, it’s five minutes from LAX and there’s an IHOP less than a block away. It’s relatively cheap (I think we paid $ 80 for a night). If you’re flying out of LAX early in the morning this is kind of a no-​brainer if you are on a budget.
That said, I wouldn’t want to spend more than one night here.

Just sleep at the airport, you’d be better off.
I called in the morning before my flight to confirm they had a shuttle bus. The man on the phone was so rude, and told me I could only use it if I was staying at the hotel… REALLY? Because I wanted him to drive me to Disneyland, the idiot.
Once I arrived at LAX I called the hotel again to get the shuttle bus, same person on the phone told me I couldn’t come to the hotel because it was too early and there were no rooms. I told him I’ll wait there. He gave me the information for the ‘shuttle’ AKA dingy van and before I had a chance to ask how long it would take, he hung up.
We waited about 10 minutes for the ‘shuttle’ and when they guy showed up, he threw our bags in the back and took us to the hotel.
My boyfriend and I waited about 2 hours in the dining/​kitchen/​living room until a room was ready for us. We had a room by 11.30am, not bad.
Room was decent, clean and spacious enough, only problem is you can hear EVERYTHING going on outside. Cars coming and going, planes taking off, people in their rooms banging around…
I’d never stay here again. Wifi is crap too. My main problem here is the service, the old Indian guy treating people like crap needs a good smack in the head.
