I recently stayed at Alta Cienega Motel with my wife on a trip down to LA. The motel is very conveniently situated. It was very easy to get around to all the attractions in the area, like Beverly Hills. What i like about this place the most is it's very inexpensive. We stayed there for 7 nights and we only... more

Stayed there one night with my girlfriend. Dirty, smells, loud, ugly, unfriendly, no refund. Wanted to leave when we saw the "room", but as said, no refund. Spend 30 dollars more, its worth it. As said, STAY AWAY!!!!Ended up argueing with the chinese lady, left early. more

After seeing some very poor reviews about the hotel and management we were pleasantly surprised. We booked the room online in advance and the owner was quick to confirm the booking and asked to advise our expected time of arrival and that if we were late we would lose our booking. This is understandable. We arrived early and the lady... more

Maybe you can stand the squalor a little easier if you know that in 1968 (as described in Stephen Davis book, Life Death, Legend), Mick Jagger, fresh from mixing Beggar's Banquet, walked across the street to room 32 and met the American rock star the afternoon of The Doors Hollywood Bowl concert. Coupla dynamic front men in the room that... more

I know some people don't like this motel but c'mon! For the price I think it's totally reasonable. Where else in West Hollywood would you find a motel for $69 plus tax!?! My boyfriend and I hadn't booked anywhere for the last night of our trip and we stumbled across this place. The lovely Chinese lady offered us the "Number... more

My wife and I stayed in Jim's room during the middle of May 2009. I had wanted to visit there since I was in high school. It was amazing, fun, and the closest we'll ever get to Jim Morrison. It was like staying in Arthur Rimbaud's loft where he wrote his greatest works, or getting to stay in John Lennon's... more

I had to leave here early despite the Alta Cienega's No Refunds policy. I ended up disputing it with my credit card company on the basis that the room was NOT as presented online. I am not at all shocked to see that many other traveler's have had a similar experience. If you don't feel like reading my letter which... more

My 3-night stay at this old-style motel didn't have the problems some of the other posters have described. If you're not too fussy, this is a great choice -- the W Hollywood locn is terrific and the price unbeatable. Even comparable motels in this area seem to be a lot more expensive. It is a bargain any way you look... more
