Casa Bella Inn Downtown LA

Staff is somewhat pleasant I suppose but not olly Polly insects in the shower. We did not bathe there. This is unacceptable. The bathroom needs renovation to be up to code. The shower wall is crumbling apart where the wheelchair attachment is attached to the wall. We were put in an accessibility room for a wheelchair—which was not necessary and the shower was not above the tile floor and also very unsanitary to use. Due to these issue there were insects in the shower tile in the shower and bathroom. The sink water smelled like sewage. Not a motel I’d recommend to anyone. You’re better off staying elsewhere

They have a small fridge which works well to chill your drinks or keep food safe. The room also has a safe which I didn't use. Ample switches/lighting in room. Parking ( also see dont like) have decent spacing where you park at an angle). I never worried about a reasonable person getting out of their car dinging my car. Of course, this assumes you/they do not park at the edge of the parking lines. There is no "do not disturb" sign to hang. I thought it was missing but the desk said they don't do that. So I had to everyday tell housekeeping that I didn't need service. On the room, AC unit is VERY loud and comes on/off but works well... This is an old style motel where cars are parked minutes from the door. You will hear other folks come/go. The amenities (shampoo/soap/etc) really bad. For shower, it was a multipurpose green solution for cleaning--I ended up going to supermarket to get shampoo and bodywash. So, this was a HUGE disappointment. But, I've never stayed at 2-star level hotels through booking before so maybe this is to be expected? Anyways, continuing. They did not have tissue box. No clock but that was fine--I use my phone. Bathroom has efficient low volume toilet. Shower fit tall people nicely. Hot water was fast to come through and very good water pressure. Showerhead is basic--you can't change settings. Not a dislike but to point out a negative potetially for you. Casa Bella is safe, but it is in LA Downtown, folks, so neighborhood is so-so. Go 1/2 mile north you will hit Langer's, famous deli spot but addicts lighting up outside at 9:30am (I was there at that time to fit in #19 sandwich). The parking lot of a Ross store nearby is fenced in. Still, i was able to walk around 10pm down to the nearby corner Taco King fine. Parking--I was not affected but on one weekend nite I see cars double-parked (i.e. blocking cars that are in marked spots). Looks like I don't like much more than what I like,

Very close to the crypto arena No WiFi. Ice machine not working room floor so dirty my toddler feet was black from just walking in the room

-room & facilities showing a lot of wear and tear -dubious cleanliness -no drinkable water on the premises -very low value for money

Convenient location close to landmarks Unsafe surroundings and dirty linens

Need change the bed very old also fix Internet servicio TV allways Not Signal. Please.

free parking roaches

Nice spacious, clean room. TV didn't really work well. Noisy car alarm in the parking lot was going off ALL night

Everything clean and nice staff and very helpful

Now, allow me to list a couple more things I liked (in no particular order): 1. The staff is bilingual! They speak perfect english and spanish! 2. The parking space: I'm a very anxious person when it comes to leaving my car parked in a place I've never been to before, but at Casa Bella I never had that fear and nothing bad happened to it either. 3. Food, shopping and gas within walking distance: There's a taco stand that opens on the sidewalk just next to the property at around 6PM, a small plaza with a Taco King & a Pupisería, a Ross that's a 2min walk away, and a gas station + mini market across the street! P.S. Cheers to the cleaning staff too! They left my personal belongings untouched and exactly where I left them. This is something big for me too. I don't like it when cleaning staff move things around or touch my personal toiletries. This is the sad reality: For this price range, be prepared to deal with guests that will be rude to you. I had a sour experience with another guest but hankfully, the staff is in the best disposition to help all their guests! The clerk in charge mediated and helped us achieve a satisfactory resolution for all parties. Props to the staff for that! They went the extra mile to provide for the best accommodations for everyone!

Space The floor. It would make our feet black every time

Very clean and comfortable with a lot of helpful amenities in the room (fridge, desk, etc). Friendly staff as well that have great recommendations about nearby food, etc. Though very clean, the top sheet was ripped in one spot along the edge.

Quality mostly matches the price There were cockroaches in our room

Location of the inn to our event was perfect Property is very small & nowhere near enough parking for the amount of rooms, there’s maybe 15 parking spaces. The bed was HORRIBLE!!! I knew when booking I was only needing a place to get ready in & rest for a few hours after our event before the drive back home so I wasn’t expecting much. Room was clean & did provide a safe, microwave & small fridge.

Accessible for wheelchair and handicap parking at the front.

Far too expensive for a room that smelled bad and had visible damage to the walls and furniture. Pillows were somehow both too hard and soft as if they were filled with small wooden planks covered in pillow stuffing. Bed felt like cheap florists foam. Overall surrounding location looks to be of questionable safety.

Nothing It was literally filthy. Cockroaches everywhere, people having loud sex all night, music blasting in the room next door until 6am, someone upstairs apparently moving furniture based on the constant crashing all night long. Horrific.

price is ok Outside environment, noisy nighttime, bath water is not hot

Excellent Property All good

Nothing, we did not stay. Condition of room. Neighborhood
