Back in 2015, this place was one of many places I stayed until I got back up on my feet during hard times and it was everything I needed to get by. Watching Simpsons on FOX and a roof over my head. Yeah, the area wasn't welcoming but I didn't care and it was the best value for my buck. Water worked. Had plenty of space for clothes and stored food in the fridge. Never had the chance to use the communal kitchen, laundromat and pool. Been 10 years and felt nostalgic to write a review. Thank you again. read more

Honestly this was one of the worst hotel I stayed in. The room was dirty and the towels were dirty. How am I suppose to wash my hands and dry them in a dirty towel. The pillows were dirty as well. They had stains of dirt and unsanitary. The restroom door couldn't even close. It was hard to shut it. To make it even worse they allow people all night to hang out on the sidewalk. It was annoying because you can hear everything. People drinking smoking and breaking stuff. It's 2am and I'm trying to sleep. I wasn't happy about having to hear people arguing and fighting outside at 2am. And lastly the parking. You're telling me there was 0 parking. Like how do you wanna run a hotel with no parking. Then they tell me to park on the street. You want me to leave my car outside the gate with those people arguing? They have 2 spot for employees but no one using it and they won't allow you to park there. I had to risk getting towed and moved my car after someone left the parking lot. That is a terrible experience and will never stay here again. read more

0/5. DO NOT STAY HERE One of the worst hotel experiences we have ever had. When we checked in, the hotel assigned us a parking space and even asked for our license plate information. At no point were we told that parking was "first come, first served." On our second night, we returned from Universal Studios around 11:30 p.m., exhausted, only to be denied access to the parking area. The man at the entrance refused to open the gate and told us there was no parking available. There were two open spaces blocked with cones that he claimed were for employees. I was so tired that I even offered to PAY EXTRA just to use one of those spaces so we could finally go to sleep, and he still refused. We asked for a manager, but he refused to contact one because it was "too late" and said managers were only contacted for emergencies. His only suggestion was that we park somewhere outside the property "at our own risk." We were kept outside dealing with this situation until approximately 1:00 a.m. To make matters worse, it later became clear that at least one of those supposedly "employee-only" spaces was not actually reserved for employees. When my father-in-law attempted to park, the man accelerated his vehicle and nearly hit my father-in-law's car. The entire situation became chaotic and unsafe, with other people becoming aggressive and nearly starting a physical confrontation. The room conditions were just as bad. The room smelled strongly of cigarettes and marijuana, the bathroom was dirty, the blankets were filthy and appeared to have mold, and there were cockroaches crawling around the room. Filthy, unsafe, and completely unacceptable. Terrible customer service, disgusting room conditions, cockroaches, and horrible parking management. I would never stay here again and strongly recommend that others avoid this hotel. read more

You've GOT to clean this place up you have a roach problem! I'm grateful for my two weeks here but to be forced to wear shoes, leave all bags in my car or zipped up, barely able to sleep really would have gotten more out of sleeping in my car, this is uninhabitable and against code to have people renting in such filth! The roach problem won't get any better! Health department would have a field day in here! No one should be fored to possibly carry roaches in their bags read more

So here's an honest review, pros: it was a very cheap hotel and for someone like me who had to get smtg very last minute with not a lot in the bank, it was perfect, I was staying there to go to a convention down the street and it was only 10 min which was great, website says no private parking (from what I remember) but there is an area to park in the back, it's gated and you have to press a button to get in or out which me and my friend were very happy about, the fridge was pretty nice, not a mini fridge, it had two different doors for reg fridge and a freezer, lots of drawers and cabinet space, tv worked well, bed was comfortable and pillows were comfortable and the locks on the doors were electric so you need a card to get in. Cons: there were stains all over our sheets, nothing crazy but more like stuff you can't really get out (coffee, wine, etc) but one of these sheets had someone's name written on it with a pen?? To us, it looked like they just didn't change that sheet, pillows had stuff on it too, we ended up going to get pillow cases to cover them, I personally didn't see bed bugs but we did have an encounter with two roaches, one dead and one alive, they are the size of horse fly, one of the drawers had nerds clusters in it and it looked like some of the nerds were on the floor too, there was a medical cabinet that had an old bag in there with god knows what, someone got a arrested the first night we stayed there, lots of yelling and threats (also would like to add this was not in their control and the front desk did call the cops), when I was checking in, the man asked if I wanted to see the room I said yes and when leaving he asked if I was staying alone and as a younger fem presenting person, this made me very uncomfortable for a older man to ask me this, I thought it was inappropriate and made me feel unsafe before I even got the key to the room, very thin walls, we were right next to the kitchen and could hear everything, I didn't want to take a pic for their privacy but also in the kitchen there were these couches and there looked to be a homeless person sleeping on one, there is absolutely no security on the grounds aside from the cameras and the gate and for this hotel being in a "rough" neighborhood, I feel like it's needed to insure the safety of their guests and also I don't know if this is just a hotel or not, it almost seemed like it was part hotel and part apartment complex, not really a bad thing but just thought it was strange Over all, would I stay here again, most likely not. The cons outweigh the pros too much I don't think I will ever come back unless needed too, there were other hotels with similar rates nearby that I'd rather not come back to this one. read more

First of all, I want to make known that I am not a critical person and I don't normally write bad reviews about things. However in this case I feel a moral duty to report what I have seen so others don't experience what I did. I recently booked the Studio Lodge Hotel in North Hollywood for one night. It looked decent from the pictures I found in Expedia, and I was excited to go there. But as it turned out, those pictures were completely misleading. It looked like they were either taken decades ago, or they were photoshopped to make the place look completely different. The photo of the parking lot was taken with a wide-angle lens that made it look very spacious and clean. In reality, it was half the size, and it was very hard to pull out. It was completely full of cars, so I had to park in a spot reserved for staff and I had to be careful not to step on vomit all around my car. When I arrived close to the hotel's address, I had a hard time seeing it, as it was crammed by cars and trash all around it. While driving close to it, an unpleasant smell started filling my car. There was a crazy or high homeless woman on the side, so it's possible that there were more homeless people around causing that smell. I parked in the parking lot in the back, hoping it belonged to the hotel, because there were no signs. I then found the back entrance and the smell was inside as well. There was a pool, but the access to it was not allowed and the water was stagnant and possibly contributed to the smell. The "front desk" was a small room with bullet-proof glass in front of it and a locked door with metal bars to get in. You felt like checking in in a high security prison. This room was not part of the pictures on Expedia, by the way, otherwise I would not have chosen this place. The receptionist was a nice young woman, honestly the only good thing about the place. The whole interior was very run down. The room I had booked looked like the apocalyptic version of the picture I had seen online, smelly and gloomy. The counters didn't look dirty, however I couldn't make myself sit on the bed nor open any drawer for the fear of finding bugs or something else. I felt extremely uncomfortable and scared to sleep there. I left my luggage in the room to go to a business appointment, but when I came back 2 hours later, I decided to check out before it would get dark and more dangerous. I also was afraid to leave the car in that parking lot, which was gated but the gate had a button to open it also on the outside and anyone could have accessed it. I don't know how anybody could have rated this place 5 stars, and I can only guess they were paid to do it or had very bad judgement. It's very unfair that you only get a refund if you cancel the day before arrival, when you have not seen the place in person. If you book this place, you do it at your own health, security and financial risk. You will not get your money back even if you don't check in after you see it. I tried very hard to leave this review on Expedia, but they didn't give me a way to do that and couldn't get help from an agent either. I highly recommend NOT using Expedia. read more

The dude that works at receptionist is very rude, does not care about customer service we were assigned parking and upon arriving he said look somewhere else outside it's your responsibility, I don't recommend booking here, rooms are filthy, they stink like cigars and cockroaches lure around the rooms read more

Absolutely horrible experience. I drove an hour and a half based on the reviews, only to realize those positive ratings likely stem from the few renovated rooms, which make up only a small portion of the property across its three floors. I was given the key to room 216 to view it before checking in, and it was clear that the renovations stopped there. The hallways are shockingly outdated--removal of the smelly carpet and a fresh coat of paint wouldn't break the bank, especially for a cash-only business that seems to exploit the underprivileged. What's worse, they appear to profile guests, reserving the better rooms for select individuals rather than operating on a first-come, first-served basis. I felt absolutely disgusted and extremely uncomfortable staying here. The so-called "weekly discount" wasn't worth it in the slightest; I'd happily pay a few hundred dollars more elsewhere for a better experience. The entire building exudes a depressing, low-energy vibe. The receptionist's demeanor perfectly matched the state of the establishment--it felt like stepping into a horror movie or an alternate, lower dimension. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere. read more

I was here a little less then a year ago it was a very nice room very affordable no complaints I foolishly broke the rules by having my dog there read more

This place is horrible! their staff are creepy and they went into my room more than once while I was staying there. I left a bad review once and got on their DNR list, Because I called them out on their bullshit. The place is infested with bed bugs, roaches and creeps. Don't go here if you value your life. Seriously I would leave 0 stars if I could. They are definitely doing shady shit there. Also they have no AC and make you pay more to get into a room with AC, but then it still won't work. So they rip you off and try to say it's your fault for it not working. I deleted my review from the last time I stayed there, cause I was trying to be nice but I just feel like I needed to post this again because this place is truly horrible. read more

Kevin M. Or whomever you are I've went through years of reviews from past individuals whom rented from you and I see you have responded to each review with LIES and DECEPTION you have stated there's no cigarette burns on bedding as well as a severe roach infesteation I have no reason to "Get back ' at anyone the pictures obviously speak for themselves as well as the video I've posted you your shady business practices have predatoized underprivileged individuals for years and frankly it's pathetic and it's time you should be held accountable. read more

One of the best hotels I've had a privilege to stay at. It's one of the few hotels left that let you stay for 28 days and the price is not only affordable but the staff make you stay even better. Everyone is friendly and the rooms are super clean. Each room includes a fridge, tv with multiple Channels as well as netflix, Hulu, HBO...etc., FREE WI-FI! There's a pool in the building usually open to the public during summer time. There's a gated parking lot which is great so you're not worrying about leaving anything in the car. There's a designated smoking area and vending machines to help yourself when you don't feel like crossing the street. It is cash or money order only but I wouldn't dare to complain because like I mentioned earlier, the price is unbeatable. There's a kitchen with microwaves, stove and oven available for anyone who would like! Love staying here!!! read more

Best hotel ever at a good value. They have a kitchen there to cook your meals and they got a pool. Oh I forgot the best part is they have a laundromat there, not free though! You have to pay like any other laundromat. Just sucks I got banned from Studio Lodge a couple years ago because when I was staying here with my ex bf, his behavior there was no bueno and I completely understand. I'm grateful for finding this hotel when I was going through it because the workers were very helpful. Thank god I'm now at a much better place. But please give this hotel a shot. read more

I know the Studio Lodge well and only have good things to say about this business. On and off for five years I stayed as a guest at the Studio Lodge and found the rooms to be clean, the staff professional and the rates uncommonly reasonable. They regularly run a special where the first week's rent is under $250. Lori runs the front desk and does an excellent job. Her staff includes Kelly and Destiny. Kelly is a model of excellence and efficiency that any business would be proud to employ. Destiny is just as good at her job but from a light and bubbly Gen Z perspective. Housekeeping works hard and will guarantee that your stay begins in a clean, comfortable, well-lighted space (that's a subtle reference to a Hemingway short story that only Kelly will catch). Lastly, no review of the Studio Lodge Hotel would be complete without mentioning Bernie. Bernie is the head of maintenance and can fix anything but with a wry smile and self-deprecating quib. If you're looking for a place to visit while in Los Angeles or just need a break from life, the Studio Lodge Hotel is the safe space you'll recommend to all of your friends. read more

The Absolute worse! and Dirtiest hotel I've EVER been to!!! it's just nasty!!! food, blood stains and urine stains on every single mattress and mattress cover they have! hair and filth everywher!!! staff is utter and completely rude and disgustin! i bought a week here, they gave me a room that no one cleaned & were extremely rude to me after.

This is one of the only 28 day stay hotels left. People have to be out for 5 days if they stay 28 days so there's a good chance you can get a room. The rooms are spotless. They have a full bathroom. They also have a community kitchen with a few microwaves full stove and 3 vending machines. the swimming pool is refreshing in the summer. It's kept very clean. Toilet paper, bath towels and soap are free. there are washer & dryers and a gated parking lot which makes a big difference. They're competitively priced and for the money it's the best short stay out there. I've been to many other places and most have no kitchen, parking or laundry. I forgot they also have satellite TV in all rooms. read more

Id give this a good rating since I've stayed here in the past for 28 days in July and I enjoyed the rates with ac 400$ and the winter was a special 268 with ac great deal for the first week I can't go wrong with the price I didn't like how you can't come back in 5 days but now your able to go back if there's availability in the motel which is better.I love their communal kitchen it's really convenient I've used to to prepare meals at any time from 5am to 11pm and the pool isn't available I hope it is for future stays it hasn't reopened the laundry's are great I've used their dryers work amazing so does the washing machines 2 dollars each good affordable price local stores nearby and restaurants.Coin dispensing machines vending machines to buy any drinks snacks and other items and there's also a donation table that is free for everyone to give and get it's a awesome place. The parking is completely complicated if you come late you will possibly not find anymore parking inside and in the streets is hard to find we're to park at your own risk.For sheets you need to go early twice I was denied sheets going after 6 pm go early for all this to be over with and then you can get some clean sheets and toilet paper bags and towels with floor mats.The good thing is the Amazon tv although the volume was a issue every time randomly the noice would stop working and work whenever it wanted to it was just so bad.Another thing I didn't like was there isn't more than two people aloud per room there should be more people that are aloud per room with two beds I also stayed in 229 and there was a hole on the wall and manager was able to rent the room without caring it it was damaged .The lights are so dim they need better lighting and better shower pressure .the trash is easy access to go dispose and there's a dispensary cannaseurs across the street it's the best.I just hate signing so much paperwork before checking in and having to wait for the gate door to open its annoying they take forever .Then they complain about dodging the gate when they take long to get it open .I've only seen two roaches in the restroom at room 150 please get a terminator otherwise I enjoyed my stay I just don't like the carpet it gets dirty quick since I have a baby and the time I stayed it rained to the carpet gets humid and then smells really bad the smell penetrates .People who previously stayed they didn't clean the room well there was clothes and they ask if it was mine when I check out and it wasn't the table was so droped and it annoyed me why can't they put a regular table with two chairs and i had to eat standing because there was only one chair for one person but two adults the table is all broken and tried to put together but should be removed completely read more

You get what you pay for, which is pretty cheap considering you pay twice the price anywhere else !

My husband and I have stayed here several times. The $300/week price is unbeatable. The entire staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. The "+s" are: clean room, refrigerator/freezer (in room), wifi, cable (a little bit too limited), bathtub/shower (not just a shower), common kitchen (saves $ $ on non-take out meals), on-site 24 hour laundry room, gated parking lot, 24 hour security and my favorite ... A P O O L (even though it is currently closed for the winter). We will be back. The only negative thing is, after each 28 day stay ...the leaving for 5 days before returning is a pain. Especially now that LA is on COV-19 lockdown. read more

I have stayed at the Studio Lodge Motel and it was a positive experience for me. If your looking for a affordable place to stay in L.A. this is it. It has all the basics and its quiet and close to public transportation.. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would recommend for a affordable place to stay. read more

This place is absolutely a hidden gem. Don't be deterred by it's surroundings or the "area". I have felt most safe here, it is by far the cleanest and most sanitary among all the extended stays within 10 miles guaranteed, has the friendliest & most accommodating staff, the "rent" you absolutely will not beat elsewhere and they often have 1st week specials, and it is also the quietest place among the many hotels I've stayed in in the Burbank & North Hollywood cities. This is where I keep returning to and when I'm away I look forward to coming back and that deep sigh of relief- the comfort that you only get once you've gotten "home". I'm so glad I took a chance on this place, because I have found peace and comfort and a little comeraderie here as well. Highly recommend it!! read more

I was a little hesitant to stay here after initially reading some of the bad reviews. However, I took a chance, and was glad I did. It is a great value. There were no cockroaches like some of the reviews said, I saw one big spider the entire week I stayed there, but that could happen anywhere. It's not the Marriott, but you get a big room, a smart TV with plenty to watch, a big refrigerator, and the AC kept the room chilly when it was scorching hot outside during summer. There was hot water available when showering despite reviews about there being no hot water when showering. The only downside is difficult parking. They have a private parking lot, however it fills up later in the evening each day. I managed to always have a parking spot, but I made sure to come back by 5 pm each day. I've been to other hotels that are much more expensive and had this same issue with parking. It's LA, parking is difficult. Anyways, it's a great deal, I'm not sure why people left bad reviews, maybe they are competitors from other hotels that can't compete with the low prices. If you want to save some cash and don't expect the Ritz, it's probably the best deal anywhere around. They had my deposit ready when I left, staff were all very friendly, I have no complaints and will definitely stay here again when I come back to LA. read more

Reason I called today at 5:39 pm I still don't know why I was banned i ask why person said they didn't know

Great place and mostly good staff there is a lady at night however who is horrible, I don't come to the place very much because I work and my daughter goes to her grandmas on certain days so I'm not here. But when I want to relax in my room some days I'm in the room. The lady was yelling through the intercom telling me there was no parking. When there clearly was a parking spot. I've stayed here for two weeks and haven't had any issues, I ask the ones in the front can I come through the gate because half the time my daughter is sleep and there isn't any elevator to go upstairs and I'm pregnant. They say yes and kindly let me in and I go back out and park on the street. There are lovely people here just renting and a great manager,but a lady on Sunday night needs to be fired she is a disgusting human being I am pregnant and she is yelling and cussing at 1am. I'm pretty sure she gets complaints often and needs to be retrained. You can't yell at people who pay to rent here !!! read more

This hotel was the absolute worst hotel experience ever. The management was rude and racist as hell. I didn't like any of them. The parking was horrible. The lot fills up with cars quick and you have to pray you find parking on the street. The shower ran brown, rusty water every time I turned it on and the lower tub faucet was running at the same time the shower head was running. The room was extremely hot and I was sweating buckets of water. The absolute worst part was the wifi. They have low speed 2g internet and you have a WEAK wifi signal or NO signal and you're constantly knocked offline throughout the day. There are too many bad things about this hotel that I don't have time to rant about. DO NOT STAY HERE even if you're strapped for cash. There are better hotels out there. Worst experience ever. I couldn't wait to run out of there. It was like living in hell for a week. read more

I would like to reply to Kevin's response to my review. With all due respect. I did not place any negative comments with your hotel. The pictures speak for itself. As for your comment about my husband and I using the kitchen after 11pm. We were in the kitchen before it was due to shut down for the evening. My husband worked late and I had a bad congested cold at that time. We made dinner and unfortunately, we did not finish until 11:10 pm. And that was after cleaning up after ourselves and the the 2 other people that were there before us. We NEVER mentioned that we knew the Owner in response to your employee reminding us that the kitchen closed at 11pm. That comment would never be a reply or a reason for us to discount us in using the kitchen after hours. It's simply not our style. But then again, you mentioning this on Yelp has no gain to putting us down for our posting. I declined your pest services in response to our concern about the issues of the room for reasonable causes. 1). We had already purchased a few cans to spray accordingly. 2). I have my service animal with me and do not want to be exposed to chemicals that may be trigger an allergic reaction. 3). Being a professional in the similar industry of over 23 years, I would highly recommend that the carpets are shampooed regularly and in between guests. The accumulated dust built up on the ceilings should be cleaned when the room is not occupied. It serves no justice to clean them when a guest is staying there and to hire an outside contractor to fumigate before prepping the room would not be as effective as to when the room is prepped and not occupied. I'm glad to know that you're planning upgrades to your property. I hope all goes well. Perhaps when replying to comments, stick with the subject matter and not to get personal about it. read more
