ウィルシャー オレンジ ホテル(Wilshire Orange Hotel)

Upon arrival, the hotel manager was not on the property, had to wait almost a hour for the manager to arrive. As we got our room, it was not sanitary, dust are everywhere and on everything, the carpet feels as if it hasn’t been properly washed in a while. TV doesn’t work, microwave keeps blowing fuse, and there was an extension cord that’s got every appliances plugged in right by the window curtain, creating a potential fire hazard. Bathroom is shared with everybody, it’s not sanitary as well, black mold on corner of the ceiling in bathroom. Also we were not informed that the property’s roof was going under construction, workers making a lot of noises on the roof in the room we were staying at, would go on all day until almost 9pm. There’s also smell of smoking lingering from the room next to the room we stayed in despite the policy explicitly stated no smoking, and that there is a $250 fine for doing so. If you’re short on money, and need a place to escape, this place might be for you but be wary of the review I’m leaving here for future renters. Would not ever come back here again.

The TV was outdated the bathroom shower water was dripping and shooting everywhere housekeeping was friendly. I would recommend this hotel location.

We went to check in and no one was in the property, that’s fine, things happen. We called the number, it was for the “main” office the lady was nice, she got in contact with the person in charge of checking in, they told us to wait 20min. 20 min passed, 30, 40 & by the 50min I called back. She called the manager again & he said he would be there but didn’t give her a time. We told her we still had errands to do & wanted to eat. We had a long day after traveling. She said it was fine as long as we check in before midnight. We left,we’re waiting for food (luckily only 15min drive away) & we get a call from the manager that he’s there and no one is there to check in. We told him that we left cuz they told us as long as we check in before midnight we should be good. He said he couldn’t wait & either we go now or cancel the whole thing. What?! Cancel the whole stay & try to scramble for a room for 8days?! We rushed over there, he did apologize for the wait but he also said we had to check in by appoin**ent. That it said so in the email. We told him we never received an email, he said that sometimes that happens & it wasn’t the first time time happens or it wouldnt be the last either. Fine we got the check in process done he takes us to the room & omg! The shower didn’t even have a shower head, the water that came out of that was like a tiny skinny stream of water. There was a door in the bathroom that freaked us out. The area is nice but the room was ugly. We check out in the morn

No running cold water in the shared bathroom which was grubby and outdated. Major cracks on the terrace floors and only one clean towel from a Sunday arrival to Saturday Departure. No-one on reception only phone numbers ..not even visiting times and a manager lacking in hospitality skills. Grubby dirty doors and filthy curtains more staying at a ghetto type motel. Broken and dirty sit out chairs. Uncared for. The price shouldn't be an excuse for the cleanliness and upkeep as in comparison prices are very high elsewhere in LA. The good points were the room was spacious with a nice view of the street outside. A fridge microwave and a fan were available with no air conditioning as advertised. It had mosquito nets over the windows which was good. The wardrobe was wooden and really old. Cracks on the blocked up fireplace and paint splashes on the carpet. The bathroom was the worst thing about this place. No running cold water from the tap only hot water which I found was too hot and generally a dirty grubby small bathroom. It's close to the Art museum and Acedemy of Motion pictures aswell as a great coffee shop called 'Cafe' which is near the Famers Market. So all in all, apart from the reasonable price for LA this hotel/motel is in dire need of a makeover and is definitely not to be recommended

This hotel is managed by the same folks at Del Flores Hotel in Beverly Hills. When I tried to check in to my room there was nobody on the site to register me. When I called the telephone number on the locked Manager's door and I was told that the manager could come in an hour and half. I was given no information about this check in process. I ended up staying at Sure Stay on Beverly Blvd, clean and cheap and light breakfast included. Plus the bonus of an actual desk to check in! I noticed many options in this area around Fairfax & Beverly Blvd. I would avoid Wilshire Orange Hotel or Hotel Del Flores. Poorly managed and insalubrious places. Keep looking around

Overall glad I stayed here, though it was far from perfect. Location is excellent for the price: safe, mostly quiet, convenient. I liked the quirky 1928 building, MCM decor, and good neighborhood. But not everything is going to work well if you’re paying half what other places in the area charge: you can expect issues with things like appliances, heating/cooling, shower, wifi, etc. Plus the manager is not on site and hard to get ahold of if issues do arise (and like I said, they will). Kind of an old school inn setup, not at all a standard chain hotel vibe. Ultimately, up to you to decide if it’s worth it to you to deal w/that stuff in order to safely stay in a great location for way less. I stayed here for a week and lived to tell the tale, so if you’re on a budget and not fussy, go for it. (If you can afford to pay way more, why would you be looking at this hotel?) Enjoy your adventure either way…

This is a modest place, and not the cleanest carpet however I knew that going in. The location makes it all worthwhile. And, the other guests were quiet so I slept well. And, a great hot shower.

The shared bathroom was way below cleaning standards and there was only hot running water from the shower.. no cold water. The sink and bath and floor there were grubby. There was one towel given from Sunday to the following Saturday and sheets were only changed then so thats nearly a whole week without a clean towel. The curtains have never seen a washing machine in years and there are dangerous structural cracks on the balcony floor. The owner was there on arrival as i had phoned prior to my arrival but there is no replies to any text messages as with other hotels. No friendliness or charm. The good thing about The Wilshire Orange was the leafy green street it was on and the surrounding location. The room has a small fridge a microwave and netted window protection for mosquitoes. There is no air conditioning as such but a big plug in fan. in comparison was also very good for LA as most hotels advertise incredibly high prices. There are major improvements that need doing and if its just a bed and location then this place might suit a certain type of traveller on a budget. But overall the shared bathroom totally let this place down. A renovation or a good scub down urgently required here. No one mans reception and there are no Visiting Times displayed just phones numbers. The manager took well over an hour to arrive when i needed help. All the plastic chairs outside on the patio were also filthy dirty and remaining chairs were all dumped and broken.
