Culver City Travelodge

Obviously it’s not a 5-​star hotel, but it’s crucial to me that where I’m staying doesn’t feel gross or creepy. The housekeeping did an excellent job with keeping it very clean – the sheets and pillows were very nice and no weird stains or smells or anything like that. The bathroom design and all the furniture were nicer than I thought it would be except the couch and chair right when you walk in. They look outdated. The building itself is in good shape and has nice style, and they seem to be renovating out older aspects, which is nice. For instance, all the rooms’ numbers are on paper stuck with tape now.
The MetroCafe is attached to the building and is very cool. It had delicious breakfast (I got the huge, fluffy French toast) and the atmosphere was bright and energetic. Every time we left the hotel (except during lunchtime because it closes) the place was hopping, and not just with Travelodge guests.
At first the neighborhood seemed shady, but it was actually really nice to walk around in. Donut King across the street was also WAY better than we thought it would be, and catty-​corner is a small, fancy BBQ place called the Maple Block which was tasty.

I cant give it a 3 Star cause most of the review is a OK, the only thing that was disappointing and tacky was the sofa and chair, Torn and stained and they used a bed sham to cover the arms on the chair you will see in the pictures that I provided…
NOW I will say this, they have repainted and redid the rooms, and had LARGE TVs, the parking lot at night I really liked. Lights everywhere and just lit up, the colors of the building is a nice choice, Other than the sofas I had no complaints.

PLEASE READ… Omg were do we start! My husband and I were in town for a Workmens Comp. evaluation, Workmems Comp. booked the lodging. First we need to state we do travel for medical purposes and stay in very nice places. When we got to the Travel Lodge we were shocked how filthy the outside of the Hotel was and concerned seeing all the riffraff in the area. The check in was ok, the staff was extremely pleasant. When walking down the long hallways there were no lights, we were scared to death, when entering our room the smell was over whelming with smoke amd filth. The door shut but had a 2 inch gap from the floor to the top anything could have slithered into our room. The chairs were filthy unable to sit on them, the lamp by the TV had spots of blood on it, YES BLOOD! ALL the furnature had burn marks from cigarette burns. The bathroom was full of black mole all around the tub and stunk of mold. We called down to the front deck and asked about moving rooms and they stated they were totally full, we were very upset. Then to top this mess off, they charged us $ 136 for the night in this filthy unfit room, we had to sleep fully dressed and the next morning because of the black mold in the tub we were unable to shower… WE WILL NEVER EVER STAY IN A TRAVEL LODGE EVER AGAIN!

The location is okay. Parking is good and feels safe. The room was very large. It was clean and had plenty of towels and the normal stuff (run of mill shampoo/​lotion/​etc).
The room layout was trippy! Half wall separating bed area from the ruffled couch/​living room area. 50+ inch flat screen television, and a large work desk all made this space a great value. (Think I paid about $ 116 after taxes on a Friday night).
No sign of vermin. $ 10 coupon to metro café right next door for the next morning.
A good value. Friendly front desk staff too.

Pros: nicely remodeled rooms, inexpensive, great location, near Metro Café, and easy parking. Pretty friendly staff.
Cons: have to ask for a separate code for each wireless device. Noisy street. Very dark rooms.

Of all the hotels in the Santa Monica area, this was the least painful for our wallet. The room was very clean and spacious — I’m not used to hotel rooms you can do cartwheels in, but supposedly many Travelodges are like this. The sole nitpick I have (and it is a silly nitpick, rest assured) is that the shower drain kept coming off. Definitely a good experience, would gladly stay here again.

Wir waren 3 tage hier. Das zimmer mit 2 kings size Betten waren riesig und Sauber. Die möbel waren schon in die jahre gekommen aber Das ist egsl ruhig war es. Am tag läuft irgent ein Generator aber nachtd zum schlafen wird er ausgeschalten. Frühstück habe ich mir immer woanders geholt.

wishing 0 stars was an option.
THIS PLACE IS THE WORST.
I was booked a room here through hotwire, and they told me that only smoking rooms were available and that they weren’t just smoking rooms but rooms that people go in specifically to smoke like crazy. so of course we weren’t staying there, so instead we got stranded outside of the hotel. they won’t provide a refund and every time i call they say they can’t help me because there’s no manager on duty, but every time i call back when they say to, there’s still no manager. they are liars! going to report them on trip advisor.

They must not have security on site. There was someone banging on the next door in the middle of the night for what seemed like hours and no one came to investigate.
My credit card was charged twice. I called the motel directly to resolve. I was told I had to speak to a manager. They wouldn’t let me leave a message and told me I had to call back. I called back 3 different times and the phone rang for no less than 20 times each with no answer. So, I called corporate customer service and was on hold for 20+ minutes. Once I finally spoke to someone, they said they would send the information to the motel and they had 5 days to resolve.
This place will never get my money again!

Good experience, recommend. able to accommodate on a short notice! Will plan to stay here again.

This gets a «nice effort» rating because it’s obvious housekeeping and the front desk are doing well. What this hotel needs is some ownership investment.
They are stuck being surrounded by auto repair shops. The building itself is very dated, as are the furnishings. Although some work has been done as the TV is huge.
It’s the building that makes this location difficult. You hear the room upstairs. The design is the kind you see in news reports where they «arrested the drug dealer.»
I applaud the people here who are keeping up. Although I would suggest they cut way way way down on the Hotel-​8 room freshener. The perfume is very cheap smelling and very overpowering.

Im giving this place a one star. They gave us a room that has a a non-​working air-​conditioner… Not worth the money you pay!

I initially prejudged this location by the pictures that was posted on a another website. Great room size, my room was fully updated and the staff was friendly and very accommodating to all my needs. I would definitely stay here again when I’m in town.

First impression was that this hotel was in the middle of «Muffler Row» — lots of auto repair places and car washes. A closer look revealed an interesting neighborhood with nice pubs and restaurants a short walk away.
The room was huge. Unbelievably spacious with 2 queen beds and a sofa. The road is busy, but the room was perfectly quiet and spotless. DirecTV was great.
Free parking! Not many hotels in this area offer free self-​parking — This was a big plus for me.
The price was reasonable, the room was clean, and the service more than acceptable. Overall, a pretty good deal.

The place was better than we expected. Spatious room with updated décor and good sized flat screen tv. Friendly staff. No continental breakfast provided but they give each patron a $ 5.00 discount on dining next door at the Metro Café’. We were disappointed with egg dishes we ordered and the potatoes were awful. I suggest you try something else like pancakes if you eat there.

Clean, decent hotel. Great TV’s. Nice beds. Haven’t always received the best customer service from the front desk but oh well I won’t cry about it.

With the triple a discount the total was $ 137. Quiet stay. We arrived super late and the staff was helpful and friendly. Comfy beds, and a big room. Ok shower. Perfect place to see culver city on more of a budget. Parking included. Went to café Vida down the way instead of their free breakfast. Would stay again.

A Great Place
We decided to stay another day in LA, but the motel we were at was full, so we found the club we were going to that evening and searched for a nearby hotel. Just a few miles out of the scary side of town, Travelodge was tucked into the cute Culver City, lots of traffic nearby, but not very noisy.
We got the last room and we were so surprised at the size of the room. Two king beds and a living room with large couch, the place is bigger than our current living situation! We were given discount coupons for the diner downstairs where we enjoyed breakfast (service is very slow, not enough women working there), but the food was decent.
I would come here again.

For the price, location, and room, totally worth it.
Updated bathroom with granite walls in the shower, granite counters, nice flat screen tv that pulls out and swivels, hd digital tv with lots of options, microwave, coffee, fridge, and a couch. Room was very spacious, and toilet/​shower are in their own room (I like this when sharing rooms with others).
Staff was all super friendly. Lots of food options around the area, great central location.
Room was clean, beds were great, they have nice pillows and lots!
Only complaint is that the room had a slight smell to it, but most older hotel rooms do (due to the smoking being acceptable in previous years, I assume).
All in all, if I’m looking for a nice place to stay again, we will definitely go here.

Way nicer than expected. We decided to go with a cheap hotel for our California trip since we would hardly be there. We walked in and were surprised. Our king room was less was $ 100 and was huge with a living room and a large bed area. The bathroom/​shower was super nice and remodeled. The room is pretty dark though. Front desk people were very nice. They also give you a $ 5 off coupon for 1 meal for the restaurant next door which was also good. However, the culver city area is pretty run down around the hotel. I never felt unsafe but I also tried to not be out at night. But overall very happy.

Very dark rooms with dirty furniture and dirty carpet.
