Briesen Holidays from AU$1,309

I have stayed here either 3 or 4 times and this time was probably the last unfortunately. I like the cost effectiveness and honestly it’s a safe little cheap hotel. There’s a fridge and a nice area to put your bags. There is also 2 windows which I am a fan as a big fresh air girl but when it’s hot out the ac does work. The doors slam especially loud which sucks because the rooms are very small and close together. Also if you don’t have respectful neighbors, as I did not, you can hear them screaming and acting stupid all night. There is no monitoring of the parking lot so anyone can come and park and visit the noisy neighbors as well. The floors could use a good swiffering but my main issue was the huge hairball that was left in my bathroom:( she kept me awake the first night. Requested a room cleaning from the webcam people and they said there’s a cleaning staff shortage so it wouldn’t get cleaned that day and that was the full discussion. Didn’t get cleaned any of the days I was there for 3. Meanwhile the cleaning lady (who is very nice by the way) was doing the room two doors down from mine. Anyway that’s enough for me. Also no microwave anywhere.

Room lock out several times

Walking distance to Santa Monica beach, clean and upgraded rooms with modern amenities like coffee machine, mini bar, refreshments and in room dining reasonably priced.

didn’t try the breakfast

We absolutely loved this hotel! Friendly staff, very clean rooms and priced well. We were right in the middle of all the activities we had planned all over LA which was great. The restaurant was good and the pool was nice a quiet. I enjoyed being able to grab drinks at the pool but the one and only downside was it taking over 35 minutes to get my drink with little to no other people there. I’d like to add that as parents we really enjoyed how the cleaning lady organized our stuff everyday :)
