The Royal Pagoda Motel - Los Angeles

We spent three nights at this motel and really enjoyed our stay. The historic character of both the exterior and the rooms gave the place a unique charm. The price felt fair for what you receive, especially compared to other hotels and motels in the same area. The room was very clean, and housekeeping serviced it daily, which we appreciated. Parking could get a bit busy, and the designated spots often fill up quickly. However, the staff were not overly strict about parking within specific spaces, so it was usually possible to park wherever your car fit. This was convenient and much easier than searching for street parking. The location is excellent if you want to be within walking distance of downtown and several major attractions. Overall, we had a very positive experience.

Where to start? Parking, you are lucky if you find a place to park. Room, bare essentials, nothing more. Noise, traffic throughout the night. Smell, if you like the constant whiff of marijuana, you'll enjoy this place. Service, bizarre. We rented a room for two nights. When we arrived, I explained that I rented for one night and then then we had a change of plans, I contacted the place we booked through (booking.com) and asked to increase our stay by one night and they said they couldn't do it, that I would have to call Royal Pagoda and asked if we could extend our visit. When I called Royal Pagoda, they said they couldn't book me for an extra night because I had first gone through booking.com. So, I booked through booking.com for the second night without trying to get the same room. When

The room was clean and the location was great, but it was really noisy and suddenly smelled very strongly of *********.

What a gem! The love and attention to detail the owners have put into the property makes this place shine. I’ve traveled around the world and can honestly say it was one of the most welcoming and charming rooms I’ve stayed in. Plus, the folks at check in could not have been nicer.

Clean room, clean comfortable beds, warm shower, helpful service, cold ice (ask for it). Direct TV. Maybe a table would make it better. Just eat at one of the many restaurants nearby.
