Rodeway Inn Convention Center

Was here for a trade show at the LA Convention Center. The hotel is about 1 mile away from the Convention Center so it is walkable. The surround area is a bit rough. We had no troubles walking at midnight in the area, but I would not let my kids walk around. The hotel staff was friendly and nice. The free breakfast they offered was pretty good. Another fruit choice would be nice. The room decent, but dated. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were all hard and lumpy. The did give you 4 per bed, but how about giving a few different pillows, firm, big, small, soft etc. The shower had very low pressure. The room did have a mini fridge and microwave. We basically went to the trade show at 10:00am and came back at midnight, so we weren't there much. I would stay here again, but you know what you get for $125 per night.

Business trip. They checked me in, but room had no electricity or hot water. It was not usable. I asked for refund that day so I could go across the street to Ramada which had functional rooms. I was told “no refunds”. Even though they could not accommodate me, they took my money and refuse to give it back. I paid for something I did not get. I’d call that a scam.

Okay, so I never complain about anything. I always try to give someone the benefit of the doubt. But this hotel was the worst. When I arrived they had no power. I couldn’t check in because the front desk girl had no idea what she was doing. I told her I understood and would come back after my concert I traveled down there for. She assured me it would be fixed by the time I came back. And what do you know, when I come back, their is still no power. When I requested a refund I was told I have to talk to Azad the GM. And that he would be there in the morning. So I come back in the morning, wait in the lobby for over two hours and he never showed up to meet with me. Instead he sent a text to the person on duty. Saying how it’s not his fault and he will not be issuing a refund. Gosh. Honestly I am so bummed this hotel STOLE my money. If you read this far I’m sorry for the rant but just know, this hotel is the worst and the GM Azad will steal your money.

Check in and check out were both fast and easy. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Honestly the only slightly bad thing I could say is the back gate to get out is always closed, so only have one entrance/exit was a little difficult with traffic. However, it seems like it's safer with that back gate closed. It's a very busy neighborhood. When I read some bad reviews before our stay, I'll admit I was a bit nervous. After having stayed for two nights, I really don't understand how people could complain unless they're just very uptight people. It was a very pleasant stay and I'd definitely stay with my family again.

Great place to stay. Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast wS included 7-9m. By 8:30 not much food chouce left. Non smoking hotel but we did see many cigarette butts on ground of property
