Highland Park Motel

First off, the area of Highland Park the motel is located in is very nice with trendy restaurants, coffee shops, etc. But the motel itself is something straight out of a horror movie. When we first walked into our room I immediately thought of the first “Saw” film because the room looked that effed up. Exposed pipes with a hasty, sloppy paint job. Water damage throughout and a damaged window. The room was cavernous and unwelcoming and the first thing I wondered when we walked in was, “I wonder how many people died in this room?” The bathroom tub was filthy, the bed spread had cigarette burn marks, crusty sheets, and (of course) the TV didn’t work. We had booked to stay for two nights as we were attending events in the area and the drive back home usually takes an hour or more (good old LA traffic). After the first event we dreaded going back to the hotel but we did stay overnight. The next day we left early for the next event and by the time that one was over with, we both decided that we couldn’t spend another night there. At 11:30 PM we rushed to pack up all of our stuff and hightailed it out. We weren’t the only ones as we saw several other people checking out asap as well with similar looks of terror on their faces. The hour drive back home wasn’t bad and it’s something we continue to talk about to this day. The creepy Highland Park Motel and what dark secrets lay hidden behind its water stained, cracked walls.

Manager and employees are below substandard. In fact they are horrible!! The most rude obnoxious place ever! Motel 6 is a 4 star compared to this place. Only stayed here because car was broken down so I needed somewhere to go and here 10 minutes before checkin which is at 3pm. It was 2:50 and I received a text room was ready so I come in and the worker simply yells - 3pm!!! I tried to explain I just got a text to check in. ‘3pm!!!!” No sorry we need a few more minutes just 3pm!!!! I asked to speak to manager - he’s 10 times worse!! Yelling to wait or he will cancel!! WTH???? Customer service or decency don’t exist with these people! Gross!
