My daughter and I stayed for just over a week.
The room was clean, ZERO bugs of any type, spacious, the linens were also clean.
Although it is classed as a budget hotel, the A/C was awesome, a tv with so many channels, free wifi and a shower with amazing water pressure and no issues with hot water easily elevated it.
The area is fine for a base camp from which to explore LA. There’s a Target one block away, Walgreens, - great for picking up snacks, liquids you couldn’t bring on your plane, toiletries etc is also a block.
Food options include two taco trucks within a block, - try Leo’s opposite Target, 3 chicken & pineapple tacos for $7:50! Thai restaurants, fried chicken etc.
IF you are using the transit system, there are excellent links to Hollywood, Santa Monica, Melrose, Fairfax, Echo Park and Silverlake.
Mani and her family were so kind to us. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We checked out late and we were able to stash luggage, do our last minute shopping, return and use a room to change, repack and prepare for the trip home.
The hotel was safe, zero issues with homeless or theft, - rooms and cars included.
Yes, the walls are a little thin, but we heard more low flying helicopters than noisy guests.
I highly recommend you check them out, LA hotel rooms are not cheap, but some are better value for your money than others, the Economy Inn is, imo, great value.
