Customer Reviews
For the amount of money I paid ($55 if I remember correctly) I have absolutely no complaints. Good location, easy parking... But for that money don't expect much luxury. Only the basics are there. I was positively surprised to see a fridge and a microwave though. The lighting options in the rooms could easily be improved though. There are only ceiling lights in the room and one bathroom light over the sink. The lights are white and don't give any warmth. The bed was comfortable enough and the room was clean. The lady at the desk was nice and pleasing. I had to pay a $50 security deposit (can go up to $150 according to the signs). Even though I understand why, I am not the most comfortable doing so but they did give my money back quickly.
Greed will always surface. 100% honest review. Stayed two nights & honestly rooms were pretty nice. Had my expensive road bike & used my OWN wash rag to clean. I tossed it & manager kept my deposit. Of course I tried contacting the manager & each time he hangs up while I'm speaking! Greedy & guilty as charged. They will try any tactic to keep your deposit so be aware. Business 101, low price with high deposit with hopes you do something. They even tried adding late check-out! I left 10:10am. Scam, crooks so beware.
After spending five days at EC Motel, I am shocked by the negative reviews. First, this is obviously a budget hotel. It looks seedy from the outside, and the building itself is old. With that said, my companion and I were greeted by a very friendly staff member as we pulled into the parking lot. The property is fenced in, and reasonably secure. The desk staff were very friendly and accommodating, bridging two reservations seamlessly so I wouldn't have to check out and back in again after extending my stay online. The room itself was impeccable. The bathroom fixtures, bed, refrigerator, microwave, and television were all brand new. Although my companion and I declined housekeeping services for the duration of our stay, I actually saw housekeepers turning mattresses in other rooms and vacuum
The atmosphere is safe and quite, and the rooms are a good size, clean, very affordable, and a Ralph's and Churches Chicken in walking distance. Also, they have EXTREMELY comfortable beds, a bathtub AND a shower (which is awesome), a small fridge AND a microwave (also awesome), and they will let you use their washer and dryer. If you plan to stay for a week or more you can negotiate an even better deal on the price. I LOVE this place (I almost didn't leave a review because I didn't want anyone else to know about this gem,,,)
I'm online for the first time ever giving a review, because I was SO impressed by the kindness and excellent customer service of Fred at reception. Logging on here, I just read bad reviews of this motel. I was there 4 consecutive evenings. I must say...after spending 2 weeks checking online (carefully researching/planning my trip to LA), I was aware that this accommodation (apart from hostels) was the cheapest anywhere. So, I didn't have high expectations to begin with. BUT, I was VERY pleasantly surprised! The grounds were impeccably clean...as were both rooms we stayed in. The cleaning staff couldn't have been nicer!! And Fred went above and beyond for me, during the entire stay...ensuring we were above completely happy. That's why i'm even taking the time to write this. Stayin
