Sakura Inn

The room was nice offers free wifi and the staff was helpful

This is my favorite place to stay in LA!!! I will be back.

I was completely catfished by this motel. You have to pay in full before you can see the room. Lobby smelled of cooking spices and elevator smelled of cigarettes. The room was a BIOHAZARD and UNINHABITABLE. I've stayed in some questionable places, and this was by far the worst. The linens were paper thin and had urine stains, blood stains, and multiple hairs. Ok, well I'll just take a shower in the morning and get clean. Oh sorry, the shower head was completely rusted over, the tub did not drain and you get to stand in dirt and hair and other people soup around your ankles while you shower in rust. There was a badly patched hole in the floor. Severe water damage. General wear and tear. Everything was dirty, dusty, and filthy. I asked management to unclog my tub, clean the shower, and get linens. They did none of these things. Expedia called the hotel and the best they could do was remove the stopper from the clogged tub. Management refused to give me my money back. Expedia gave like a 50 dollar voucher. I checked out and slept in my car. This place has decent reviews on multiple platforms. Now I highly suspect that these reviews were paid for. I beg, you. DON'T stay here. And if you pay at check in you will not get a refund from the motel or Expedia. I will never book through Expedia again. You have been warned. P.S. I have pictures of everything.

You get what you pay for. This is a budget motel on a seamy stretch off of the freeway. They have done a nice job redecorating the rooms, but from the outside it's a typical motor court and there are zero amenities to speak of. It is a good location, not far from good restaurants and better neighborhoods. And it's a short walk from a Ralph's, a Starbuck's and a CVS. The rooms are comfortable enough, but I would only recommend staying there if you're on a budget and can't afford anything nicer.

Also, excessive shower water spilled into the toilet area and I had to use extra towels to mop up. The attendant was helpful here in providing extra towels. Still, this should not be an issue. Lastly, on a more subjective side, the dark charcoal color palette along with black trimmings and deep red accents made it for a somber, macabre, and unappealing ambiance. This was made worse by artwork that resembled concentration camp imagery or battle fields full of barbed wire wooden crosses.

Parking is horrible, came back late from a concert and the only two spaces left were too small for our compact car to fit into

I was in Glendale to be a contestant on the Price is Right. This hotel was only a 9 min drive so that's why I initially picked it and the value. I was very happy with my room, location and cleanliness. I would definitely stay here again. It's a no frills motel and a great value.

it is a comfortable room. It is convenient and clean, but it is overpriced for a motel.

Passable budget motel. Shower head condition was poor with the pores all clogged. Outside the room smelled like urine causing AC to blow that smell into the room. No hand soap our bottle was labeled as body wash. Room and bathroom was clean otherwise and location was convenient with free parking.

This spot is wonderful in service, cleanliness and the overall stay.

We stayed one night for an event at The Hollywood Bowl. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. There are great little restaurants walking distance and a grocery store. Will stay again when in that area.

From the moment you check in, you can tell it is a family-run business. While the exterior could use some updates and the ice machine should be replaced, there are convenience stores within walking distance where you can easily purchase ice and snacks. The air conditioning worked great and kept the room very comfortable throughout our stay. Another big plus was the free on-site parking, which was convenient and appreciated. As a coffee drinker, I was disappointed that there was no coffee maker in the room. However, there is a Starbucks about four blocks away, making it easy to grab a morning coffee. Overall, the clean rooms, comfortable stay, safer location, and free parking outweighed the property's minor shortcomings, and I would choose this hotel over the previous one without hesitation.

Great place. Helpful and understanding front desk. Left another prepaid hotel because of how horrific it was and this place allowed us to check in early without extra fees. Thank you for understanding. Very clean. Very spacious and comfortable

Room was clean and had a fridge! Easy to get around. Staff was nice and helpful.

Staying at Zakura

Staff and clean room

I booked a reservation over a month in advance. When I arrived I paid for the room for a full seven days. I booked through an app. they chose a room across from the hot laundry and maids, quarters in a dark corner. I asked for another room. They put me in a room seemed OK I unpacked. Went to turn out the lights only to discover not all of them would turn out. There were candle lights that were lighting up the area where the bed was. I walked down to the desk, asked for help on learning to use the lights. I was told there was a problem with the lights and they didn’t turn off and that I should sleep with them on! I sleep in total darkness that was not acceptable. They said there were no more rooms available. I said I’m checking out. Did not use any of the amenities in the room and was there about an hour unpacking and repacking Asked for a refund. Was told you booked through a third party take it up with them. I told the owner I paid the full amount here on my credit card not using the third-party. He said well we’re gonna charge you for the night anyway - we argued I lost. They refunded the rest. I just wanted everyone to be aware of the unethical business practices of the Sakura Inn. I found another nice hotel very close to the Sakura Inn and it was $300 less than what I would’ve been charged at Sakura. Watch out for the Sakura it’s not an ethical place. PS the new hotel and room were much nicer!!

The bed was a little hard. Another than a kitchen table they don’t have a comfortable chair to sit in. They only give you 2 towels. Stayed 2 nights was just ok.

Room was sparkling clean, AC worked well, excellent fixtures in the bathroom. The only thing we wished for was in-room coffee.
