Older motel with dated furniture, but clean and for the price a good deal. The room was very large, TV, fridge and micro, ant the bed was nice and comfortable. Many FAKE reviews on here, I actually stayed here and my reviews are always based on my personal experiences only.

When this business finishes their remodel this will be 5 stars easily. The staff is very kind and professional for a family run establishment. Offering a 11am check out, low deposit, optional smoking or none smoking rooms, a unique floor plan and a beautiful remodel sample entry way of what the hotel will look like. The beds are not the best but not bad either. The interior of the rooms is that traditional 90s style design that is never going to look good and has to go. They have cracks and holes and damaged ammenties that need attention and the only guess I have why the renovation is taking so long is because of the brand new luxury vehicle. Poor spending habits Overall my experience here was great and I'd stay again

Clean sheets, big room, microwave and fridge, table and chairs for eating. Bathroom was clean but not exceptionally so. The room faces a busy street, so traffic noise can be an issue. Management was nice and prompt.

We were on our honeymoon and could not find a place anywhere in Hollywood to stay, went down la brea in Los Angeles, CA and came across this hotel and called and asked if they had a room he said yes, to my surprise the room was very clean and big they have very nice flat screen TV's and just finished remodeling the rooms! The couple that own the place are very nice and friendly. We ended staying 2 night's in a couple months we are coming back with the kids. I strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to stay. It's also in between Venice Beach and hollywood very convenient.

I have stayed there quite a bit and don't judge a book by its cover. The rooms are huge! The staff is incredibly nice especially the daytime manager and of course the price and location perfect :-) it's all about having a nice relationship with the people who work here and I will continue to stay here.. and I travel a lot. Id give it 10 Stars

You can smoke in all the rooms. The nightly rate is $65. They offer 28 day stays. The best thing to do here is establish a relationship with them once you first check in. If you do they will remember you if you ever call in for a nightly reservation. I enjoyed all the space in the rooms, particularly the closet space. Nearby restaurants I recall are KFC and McDonald's. There's also a liquor store over their. If you are interested in a good psychic, there's a lady named Sophia who is really good. I'll write a review on her too as soon as I can. I just want you guys to know a few things nearby the Relax Inn.

My friend and I stayed here for two nights in Room 31. $75 for a king bed, cable tv, in room fridge, balcony, free wifi, etc it was for sure worth it. The owners were super nice and accomadating. The room was spotless. Check out is at 10:30am. Overall - I personally thought this place was great for the money. I would stay here again if i was in the area.
