Western Inn

Dirty, filthy, rude. We came all the way from Norway to enjoy LA, booked this hotel cause
told us they had a pool and a bar. Well guess what, they don’t. There’s two vending machines and a coffe maker with cold horrible coffee. The wifi is so slow, if you wanna google something you might as well go to the library. We tipped the maids every day, but they didn’t bother wiping off our tables. We got dirty towles, stained bed sheets. You can’t watch TV because of some kind of disturbance on the signal that distorts the sound. I finally lost it when I went downstairs for a wine opener, they just laughed at me. ‘No, no, no wine opener’ Stay away from this place! No value for your money what so ever!

The room was barely adequate accommodation. Their was pencil graffiti on one wall («i love you, Danielle. Lovr, Franko» or something like it). The pillows were flat and the bed hard. The staff was generally rude. We had an agreement with the front desk when we checked in at 11 p.m. that we would check out at noon. just an hour later than usual check out, due to our late arrival. the morning desk clerk call in the morning to tell me but I have to check out at 11. I informed her of the conversation from the previous evening, she increased her volume and insisted I had to leave at 11. A half hour later, at 11:15, housekeeping knocked on my door, and when I answered, the front desk clerk proceeded to yell at me across the courtyard that I had to check out immediately. I told her that being rude was not going to make me leave any sooner, and shut my door.
Needless to say, I checked out at noon. The front desk clerk refused to say a word to me nor my boyfriend.
I will never give my business to this establishment again, and discourage everyone from staying here.

Ok. Lets get this straight. This is a budget hotel. I dont know what the other reviewers were expecting but this hotel met my expectations. If you want a luxury hotel suite for under $ 100 then u will never find it. There are luxury hotels around. JW Marriot is just 3 miles away along with Westin, Four Seasons, Wilshire… etc. So that being said, this hotel is what it is. $ 79 a night, clean with new carpet. Looks like they did some reno. Korean dude at the desk was friendly. Very close to tons if Korean restaurants. So if your not into Korean, then this aint for ya. Rooms are typical, tv, small table, internet, bed is average. I was actually expecting something less than average but i was kinda surprise that is was nicer than expected. Not a place i would stay for more than 2 days but for an overnighter it was perfect for the price. Oh, this is not the kinda place you bring a big group like some reviewers, smh… Overall, i was satisfied with my room and stay.
Update: 7÷28÷14
This motels has not changed a bit. But i did learn that for a single person its $ 79 but for 2 people it jumps up to $ 97. So iam dropping 4 stars to 3 for the increase in price.

In order to give an apropos review I have to begin with a prelude — I take the Luxxpress shuttle to Las Vegas. It’s an awesome ‘Asian’ owned and operated service, and the service is impeccable. I would pay more than what they charge. But I digress. So, Luxxpress has 3 pick up locations: Diamond Bar, Golden Grove, and K-​Town. Recently the k-​town pick up changed from the Korean Galleria to the Western Inn (enter the problem). So I make my way to the western inn because k-​town is closest to my starting point, USC. I get there and walk in and ask the front desk clerk where the pickup is for the Las Vegas shuttle. She says «it already left.» Strike 1: that was not my question. I responded by telling her I was early for the next shuttle and to please tell me where to pick it up. She said outside at the corner. I looked outside and saw no corner. Clearly she was giving me the brush off, strike 2. So I proceeded to walk toward the waiting area to ‘take a load of my feet’ because I walked from the Metro redline and needed to sit because I was a little fatigued, and wanted to call Luxxpress and ask them precisely where I was to meet the shuttle. And before I could even take half a step toward the seats the clerk shakes her finger at me and says «you can’t wait here.» STRIKE FRIGGIN’ 3! Now this is an important piece of info, as a human rights advocate law student at USC, and as argumentative as I am… I said nothing. She didn’t deserve a response from me because if there’s one thing I’ve learned about fighting for human decency, and fair and adequate treatment, the best way to win — in this case — is to hurt them where it counts… in the purse. So, as many BAD reviews that I can get out into the media, the better! Unilocal,Facebook, Craigslist, Luxxpress, Twitter, Priceline, Orbitz, and any other place where western inn advertises, I will be there with this same review. This place has incredibly horrific customer service, and from reading previous reviews, I am not alone in my observation. Had I received a mere .1% respect compared to her rudeness, I would have considered staying there the night before my next trip to Las Vegas. I could wake up, have breakfast, grab my bags, and bam! roll right into the shuttle. But NO! That will NEVER happen. And I happen to be the type who will pay extra for convenience, and even more for exemplary service. Now I’m not saying I’m a big shot or anything like that, but I have been know to stir up some ‘ish’. Just saying. I will post a follow up review after I return to the western inn to get on my shuttle.

I used to come here alot … whenever i was too fd up to drive back home i would just crash here… that was until me n this girl i went with… we both were bitten by a bed bug… n when i told them they didnt even apologize… shoulda sued em: (dirty motel like place… DONT COME HERE ! BETTER OFF SPENDING THE NIGHT IN UR CAR!

This hotel is weird and charges by the person and NOT the room. So beware of unlikely charges if you bring guests. Also, the people at the front desk are pretty rude.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Horrible and poor service and motel is bad condition. Was visiting out of town and somebody reserve Western Inn in Koreatown and getting my deposit back was going to hell and back. First, they tell me that there are no rooms available till 11:30A.M. Then when I requested my money back they show me to what looks like a vacant room. No cable, horrible condition, no internet… it’s in a great location for great shopping centers and restaurants but I was disgusted by the service from the Korean lady at the front desk. I’m Korean American and I applaud by her behavior. WHAT A SHAME. I WILL NOT SUPPORT ANYONE OR PLACE WITH A NASTY RUDE UNCARING ATTITUDE AND NEITHER SHOULD ANYONE ELSE. I went to hotwire and found newly remodeled Extended Stay for $ 55.00!!! Thank you for being you cuz I got a better deal for my family and we had all the amenities of luxury!!! be cautious of your attitude, because it could kill your business!!!

DIRTY! DISGUSTING! DISEASE INFESTED! PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GO! WE EVEN GAVE IT A SECOND CHANCE AND SAME THING HAPPENED.
BACTERIA INFECTIONS!
My mother goes to L.A. for her business trips. She stayed here last year and she came home with big bites or bacteria all over her body. Each red spot was about 2 to 3 inches wide all over her back, legs, arms, and even her forehead. She was fine when she went to sleep then when she woke up in her bed she had the wide red spots all over her bodyWe did not report them.
Just yesterday my mother went to L.A. again. and her friend accidentally booked this hotel again because of a package deal, she forgot what happened last time. Well my mom gave it another chance, since it was a different room. Once again she fell asleep and in the morning she had bites or red spots about 3 inches wide all over her body. It is disgusting. They have sanitary problems here and they won’t fix it. I called to report them to tell them they need to get rid of the bacteria or bugs but they keep on telling me that their manager is not there here are some photos

Ok. So I had to write this review because my party that stayed here with was too lazy to write it themselves and told me to. Just stay away from this place. The photos on their website is 10x better than the actual hotel. I am not picky when it comes to staying in a hotel. I just need cleanliness, towels, and a comfy pillow. Western Inn does not have any of those qualities at all. I just gave them 1 star for location.
Docking one star for pancake pillows aka flat ass pillows. I needed to stack two of them together to equal to one standard pillow. They didn’t even supply extra pillows in the suite that can hold 5 ppl. Another 1 star was docked due thin walls. We were woken up at 4 am by two loud couples (laughing and moaning all night long). We had to call the front desk to shut them up. Another two stars was dock for leaky toilet and they only provided 1 key for 5 people.
I’m still not sure why they call that room a suite when it’s just a regular sized room with 3 beds.
My biggest disappointment was the TV! it’s not even 15 inches wide and no cable provided (sad face).
I guess you get what you paid for? Freaking room was still $ 200 a night. I am no longer staying at places with the word «western» in it.

You stay here for the location — for the food and shopping of Koreatown. The Western Inn is across the street from the large Koreatown Plaza Mall, and within walking distance of the newer Galleria Mall. It is also literally surrounded by Korean restaurants and smaller strip malls with more restaurants and shops. Many of the restaurants are open 24 hours, and there are also 2 large Korean supermarkets in the mall structures. So you get the idea. There are nicer, higher end Korean hotels in the vicinity, but none smack in the middle of all the activity like this one. I saw this place many times when shopping in Koreatown, and had always wanted to know what staying there would be like. Well, now that I am here tonight, here is the verdict (I’m Unilocaling using the hotel’s free wireless internet!).
The rooms in this hotel are basic but functional — somewhat reminiscient of Asia in the 1980s. The décor is a bit old, but the place appears to have been kept clean. As far as I can tell, the bathroom towels smell clean and the bedsheets and pillows don’t have any strange previous customer smells like I’ve experienced in other places. I wouldn’t recommend it for those who are out on a romantic holiday (impressive it is not), but for someone travelling on business who wants to be close to shopping and good food, and who cares about staying disease free, and doesn’t want to spend too much (about $ 70 a night for a single room), this is a good choice. Cheaper than what you would pay booking at hotel sites, a little more expensive than bidding on Priceline or Hotwire, but you get the location of your choice.
The service was really good — I called several times for reservations and to reconfirm and change arrival times, and they were good about it. The guy in the lobby speaks flawless English. They also have a good free parking lot in the basement, and a guy watches over it at night. I would stay here again if I was traveling alone.

I’m originally from Los Angeles but I live in Santa Barbara now. So when i went down to LA for a friends wedding I needed a place to stay and Western Inn was perfect. Its simple and cheap. Looking at the other reviews i’m pretty surprised because i felt the people who work there were courteous and very friendly. Its on Western St. which is the main big street of Korea Town, Los Angeles. It is walking distance to the Korean Plaza across the street or you can walk down to so many different restaurants. Conveniently there was a salon in the plaza building next to Western Inn so i was able to get my hair done before going to the wedding.
Basically if your looking for a nice simple hotel in the middle of Ktown, and not breaking your wallet spending over $ 100 a night then Western Inn is perfect.

Horrible hotel. Rude service. Only one room key even though there were two people in our room. They wouldn’t give us new towels until we walked to used towels up to the front desk. The lobby looks ok but the rooms were crap with tiny TV’s and uncomfortable beds.
Here’s the best part. I was staying with my adult fiancé and we were going out on the town. We took a suitcase just in case we stayed out too late. On the way out the nosy lady at the front desk ask us why. We explained to her we would probably be back that night and weren’t checking out until two days later. I guess this wasn’t enough because the hag CALLS my fiancé’s father and mother who are staying in another room and tells them we’re leaving with suitcases. Then we have to explain to her father why we took the suitcase. He was fine with it of course but this whole experience was just a huge pain in the butt.
NEVER STAY HERE. That crazy lady will watch your every move.

«cheaper» than the rest… under $hundred per weekend night… last minute search ‘n’ find for room… passing just the night ‘n’ nothing more… askin’ if room clean ‘n’ tidy… and told «yes»…finding the room relatively clean, but well aged ‘n’ «cheap» looks… pillows flat and bed small… uncomfortable…atleast a working tv for entertainment and a dose of korean tv… finding k-​town hotels/​motels along western not the best choices…
