Paradise Lodge

If i could give it zero stars i would! Awful place. The owner is a older asian lady, and she is so rude and disrespectful!!! The rooms are $ 85 a night which is insane because this hotel is drug infested. We literally found a used crack pipe in the room, i took it down and showed it to the asain lady and she didnt care whatsoever! She did not try to comp me nor refund me, she didnt even try to apologize! This place is a dump!!!

I really wish I could grade this place with a zero
They work with the police, so if you have a warrants you will be woken up 3 – 4 am with 8 cops at your door. They are coming to arrest you and if you don’t answer their coming in with a key that the front office gave them. The owners/​front desk gives the police your name so they run your names. To top it off the whole building has an infestation with bedbugs. There’s roaches in most of the rooms to especially on the bottom floor. I’m surprise no one has called the health department on them yet. I understand everyone is in a situation at the time. You can’t even sleep comfortably because of the bedbugs and dust mites biting you all night. Oh and watch out for the maintenance man too, he’s working with the police as well. You’ll catch him talking with them and pointing people out… They need to shut this place down seriously!!! If you do decide to stay there GOOD LUCK!!! BUT I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND IT

This place is alright in my book. Not sure what everyone is complaining about… Joy deserves 5 stars for her customer service. It’s a clean place. I know it’s not a ritz or four seasons people!!! You get what u pay for.

0 stars it was like staying at prostitutes and parolees. The first thing to greet me in my room was a cockroach. Then spent 2 hours cleaning room before I would take off my shoes. When I went to my car for something I caught 3 people trying to jack my room. And if your late to check out she will tell you, «you pay now or leave»

I’ve always had good service here unlike other motels in the area. At others like the Starlight Inn the staff is so incredibly rude. It is refreshing to be treated like a customer and not a criminal. The common areas are run down but the actual rooms are decent for the price. Also, the rooms are much larger than the Starlight for the same price.

I have NEVER posted a review on anything but last night has changed that. When I say I have never been humiliated, please believe me. In short comparison I can say this place appears to be a Parolee/​probation 2^nd chance lving facility. I am NEVER one to jusge anyone on their past but do know that is the enviorment there. Before having to read the rest of my review if you plan on BRINGING KIDS, DONT! DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE unless it is the only alternative from sleeping in idk maybe your car?
Its about ⁸⁄₉ o’clock and I grab my purse, keys and dash out the door to make a snack run while waiting for ym bf to get off work. Little do I know I am about to get hemmed up by lapd. I am a young college student who works, pays taxes, stays out of trouble and simply wanted some pringles.
Soon as I buckle up I get a bright white light in my face with cops demanding my name, age, info, etc. Did I mention I never made it OUT of the motel assigned parking lot? I had to get out of the car and questioned like a true criminal. After my car was searched (with ⁴⁄₅ people smoking cigarettes staring at me from every level of the motel) I was THEN notfied that this hotel-​motel (whatever) has drug trafficing and nightly prostitution busts. I was basically stopped because I could have been a prostitue. I can’t express how embarrased I was. I called my bf so upset in tears and literally ready to pack up. We ended up completing our stay by leaving this morning with no plans of EVER returning.
The Rooms?
They are whatever… kind of stale smelling but tolerable. Oh and those itty-​bitty towels. Seriously? I couldnt even fully dry my back with those towels. Older t.vs. Solid mattresses (which I don’t mind). Very sorry shower heads. Like really? Ross sells shower heads for what 9 or 10 bucks.
Price?
Very inexpensive. Keep in mind, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
Service?
The service was okay. Not great but not bad. Theres a (please forgive me, but big fat woman) at thefront desk who never got up to help me. She strolled from one side of the desk to the other in this rolly office chair.

I gave five stars to Joy the front desk clerk. She gave the
Best service. The rooms are nice. As far as the cleanliness of the room looks like a two year old cleaned.

Strange unidentified red bugs there. Zero stars.
