Super 8 Los Angeles / Alhambra

BED BUGS!!! WTF??? maybe its always been there but just BEING here for Several Days and discover there are Bed Bugs taking over ohhh hellll no :/

VERY clean room. You can tell it’s been upgraded and renovated. Even the walkway outside is freshly polished. There was a mini fridge in the room and the AC worked great. It’s an older motel, but it’s clear the proprietors have recently put some money into updating the rooms.,
The staff was very kind and courteous and had my key waiting for me upon arrival.
I was concerned about the location, but it turned out to be a very safe quiet area. I felt very safe and secure. Good job, super 8!

One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at. First off, you get a password for the wifi but IT DOESN’T WORK! Management had no answer for it and didn’t know what to do. Parking lot (and all of the spaces) is small and difficult to get in and out of. My wife and I left to go out to a Dodgers game, and when we got back our room key didn’t work. I asked the manager why it didn’t work and she said I had already checked out! WHAT? How is that possible WHEN I STILL HAVE THE KEY? Stay away from this place at all costs!

One of the worst hotels ive ever been to. Management is the worst! Went in with my daughter & husband, got a call at 3am while we were asleep from the front desk stating we were being TOO LOUD & we needed to leave immediately! I don’t understand how we could of been loud while sleeping! Next morning I ask management what that was about and they just shrugged their shoulders! Also there was bugs in the room! & my sheet had some kind of liquid on it. That «free» breakfast that they offer consist of really nasty coffee, old cereal that looks like its been sitting there with milk probably from the 99cent store. & waffles that you can microwave that taste like crap. It was overall the worst experience ive had in hotels!

One off the worst stays we’ve ever had. First, the rooms are waaaaaaaay overpriced. The carpet had a huge stain that spread from the bathroom halfway across the room. After showering and walking 10 feet to the bed to get dressed made the bottoms of our feet black. The bedspread had mysterious, crusty stains on it, so my wife immediately took it off and stored it in a drawer for the duration of our stay. (((shudder)))
The Wi-​Fi is broken and no one on the staff cares. We tried 5 different devices with the same problems. Can’t stay online, s-​l-​o-​w-​e-​r than dial-​up, and continuously making us sign in over and over again. Maddening!
The shower was fine except for the fact that the water temperature varied wildly from freezing to scalding and back again. I haven’t experienced water temp problems that bad since staying in Motel 6 with my folks back in the 1960’s.
The handle to our door was supposed to be one of those horizontal handles that you push down, unfortunately it was broken and hung almost straight down and was loose.
It took us fully 5 minutes to figure out how to open the door when we arrived. You have to lift the handle all the way up, then insert your key card.
When I complained to the night manager, he shrugged his shoulders, said it’s been like that for a long time, but declared that the room was «safe» since we could lock the deadbolt from the inside. IN addition, he said that since it took us so long to figure out how to get in with our key card, «how could anybody else possibly get in?» (Gotta love lazy-​ass logic)
Parking spots are so narrow that everyone can’t help but double park. When I parked right in the middle of one space, I had exactly 2 inches on either side of my car. Obviously a scam to have the required number of parking spaces for the city. This also caused people to park in lanes blocking access and causing a hazard in case of a fire or an emergency.
Oh yes, let’s not forget the doughnut Nazis. (see picture) You’re not allowed to take your doughnuts and coffee back to your room. There are fridges and microwaves in all the rooms and you can cook, so this makes no sense. They won’t explain why and are quite belligerent toward guests over this «rule».
Several employees would take their smoking breaks right outside the office door so you couldn’t help but walk through it if you needed to go to the office for anything.

Scummy, scummy, scummy!!! This place is so gross. The rooms are dirty and sad. They charge a pet fee which is funny since the rooms aren’t even fit for pets, let alone people. Also, if you have the misfortune to stay here, check your credit card bill within a few days. They charged an extra $ 60 to my credit card. When I called and asked why, they said it was for the other pets we had in the room. We only had two dogs, which I had already paid for, however they said that a witness had seen us with five. !!! Ok… a witness? And how, since we only had two? So freakin’ shifty! Anyway, they said they’d check the «video footage» and get back to me. After I said it didn’t matter, the video footage would prove my case, I was going to dispute it with my credit card company, the woman I was speaking with said she’d already refunded it. So, basically, they tried to get extra money knowing they were wrong. Avoid this craphole!!!

We were able to check in early and it was nice. Checking in, the front desk agent was smoking outside and didnt introduce her self right away. No professionalism but what do you expect in a place like this. Walked in the room with 2 queen beds as we paid for and the room is really small. Noticed the pillows right away, it was small and not fluffy. The blankets and comforter was the plain one, it doesnt have to be like the ones the resorts have but at least the type of comforters Comfort Inn or LaQuinta would have. The room was clean and the bathroom. Once I pulled the comforters down to check the sheets there were several hairs on the sheets on both beds. They provide soaps on the sink and tub but only give you one small bottle of shampoo. When my husband asked for more towels he was questioned and advised there were some in the room. FAIL! The staff was friendly, the free breakfast was mostly store bought. If you’re just looking for some shut eye then its the right place.

if there was a zero star rating, i would rate this a Zero. Stay was okay. U can hear echos in the hall ways and everyone else next to you. My stay went downhill when i found out the hotel charge me double from my actual stay for two nights. my total charge for two night was $ 175.82 in my printed receipt and then i come to find out they charge me another $ 120 without my consent. FILE A DISPUTE with my BANK HOLDER. never come here again. Staff is rude and unfriendly.

The room was confortable and clean. The breakfast was okay and the staff — Rick– was very friendly. But you can seriously hear everything that happen in the street ! Everything !

The front desk is not friendly. The hallways outside smell like cumin. They have room furniture, carpet washer, and shoes left out at the ends of the hallways. The fridge wasn’t working so we told the house cleaner and she came in the room, opened the fridge and said «wait for a little bit». We waited, nothing happened so we called the front desk, they looked at it, then finally decided to switch it with a working one. My son left his money out and it was gone after house cleaning cleaned the room. Area between bathroom, sink, and fridge are a very tight squeeze. Never coming here again.

Well the front desk guy was nice, but the door was wide open when we arrived. The room was much smaller than was pictured online and had the odor of a smoke room in a South Korean airport. The flush handle fell off of the toilet on the first attempt. The clock radio is broken and stuck flashing an incorrect time. The «50 times faster than dial-​up» wi-​fi connection is so bad that I’m drafting this review on my phone because I can’t load Unilocal on my laptop. There is an ironing board, but no iron. There are three mismatched chairs along with a microwave and a refrigerator from the early eighties. I saw a prostitute on my way to the gas station across the street where I found the clerk enclosed in a bulletproof box. That’s what I get for trying to save some money and I still am paying $ 200 to stay here. Maybe I can get my money back somehow…

I’m here tonight and have heard several sounds that I hope are firecrackers.
Check in was easy and pleasant. There is wifi – you just need to ask for the password. There is no restaurant close by, but interesting finds just a short drive away.
The entrance is really off Poplar and it is a tight fit for more than one car. It is an older, but clean hotel.

I made a hotel reservation on my personal card for someone that works for me. It was a business trip in LA, and my employee needed a room for herself, her boyfriend and her dog. We had stayed here before with our dog, and even though the staff was incredibly rude, it was decent otherwise. This time the reservation was for my employee, but when she went to check in to the hotel, they asked her to have me fill out a form which would enable her to use the room, so that I could pay for it. The credit card information was completed on the form. She brought the form back to the hotel and they would not let her check in! It was late at night and the hotel employee said he cannot let them stay there because it is against policy. If this was their policy it was not clearly explained to us at any time. When the reservation was made, no one asked us about filling out a form, and no one told us there would be a problem with me paying for my employee’s room. We called to try to reason with the hotel, and the employee said it was not possible for my employee to stay in the room since she didn’t have a credit card. We had to scramble to find a pet friendly hotel at 1am, pay extra charges, etc!!! And then I come to realize that the hotel charged my card anyway! I am disputing this charge because this is simply unacceptable that hotels get away with this kind of corrupt behavior. And I have never dealt with a more rude staff at any hotel!
