Hotel Silver Lake Los Angeles in Los Angeles

The staff is terrific, friendly and helpful. The hotel is not what we expected from the 3 star rating. The location is under a freeway. It is long term residence for the barely housed. Support services for a high need population are available in the parking lot. It serves more as a shelter than a holiday hotel. We needed to call security on more than one occasion as there were ongoing, escalating hostile encounters in the walkway outside our door. We felt unsafe as we were separated by a window of glass from the conflict. Many of the residents showed apparent evidence of drug use. It did not feel safe to walk in the community around the hotel. Staff was helpful in making a refund happen so we could relocate.

The smell in the room was horrible. Me and my wife we were not able to sleep. That’s why we left 3 o’clock in the morning. We had a really bad experience with that hotel.The only thing we liked was they had a security and the car in the parking lot was safe.Allot of homeless people in that area.

Absolute worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Could have found a Super 8 for cheaper and cleaner than this place. The bathroom was covered in mold, the mattress was as stiff as a plywood box, and the room smelled dirty. All these reviews are 100% correct. Maybe they have some secret stage room they used to take those pictures, maybe they stole them from a different hotel or maybe they were actually decent a couple decades ago I don’t know. All I can tell is after reading these reviews I was actually glad they didn’t come in to make the bed or replenish the towels because there’s no telling what they would’ve leafed through to find in our luggage. If you value your safety and any sense of clean environment please avoid at all cost!

My experience here was awful. We were absolutely horrified when we arrived! Rooms smell dusty. Very old and not maintained or loved. How come the sink was not draining? And the fan in the bathroom was not working? The floor is very dirty, it looks like they didn't even clean the floor.... This is definitely the worst hotel that I ever stayed in my life. If I could give ZERO stars or even a negative score I would...unfortunately this doesn't give the option to do so.

Upon turning down covers of bed, I found bed bugs on pillow and under covers. I immediately checked out of hotel but they refused to refund any money. Never will stay here.

Horrible. Dirty. Loud. Stayed 3 nights due to it being paid already. If we'd had our child with us, I definitely would not have stayed. It is absolutely not family friendly. I had the feeling some people lived there permanently and others rented by the hour. Strong marijuana smells. Absolutely everything was dirty in the room. People walking and yelling down the main halls till early morning. Not the nicest surroundings.
I gave 1 star because the front desk people were nice enough and parking was ok.
