Value Inn Bellflower

Awesomeness. Very good and Very clean and comfortable beds, So quiet and the manager very polite. For sure i will stay again in this hotel.

Basic Motel for its value but overall was decent for a few days, many places to est and shop within the area

Okay It was okay. There was a hole in the wall and obvious water damage in the downstairs corner handicap accessible room (thats just where we were put. I’m not disabled and cant speak on that ease). The hotel is alright. The room has a tv with cable channels, typical floating nightstand/platform bed setup, a fridge, and a sitting area. It was a big bed compared to what Ive stayed in before (king vs the standard queen). Floors and bathroom were a little dirty but not awful. The neighborhood is meh. Everywhere has bars on windows surrounding the hotel (the corner store is particularly interesting in how even the cash register is a separate confined space from the cashier) and the guy at the front desk is behind a security window you slide money and id in. The guy at the front desk seemed rude, at first, but was professional and nice enough. I dont know what the normal dynamic is for who stays there, but the 4 people we saw outside their rooms looked at us crazy for being there haha (i am white, bf is asian to clarify). We went to a concert and coming back late, one guy upstairs was outside smoking the ‘less boring type’ of cigarettes ;) and just watched us which was odd. We got our cash security deposit back with no hassle ($100 cash or card). I was a little worried at first because we didnt get a cash receipt, but it was smooth when we checked out. Was it safeish and okay enough, condition wise? Sure. Would I stay there again or recommend it for a solo woman traveler? No

Inexpensive It was very budget friendly but you get what you pay for. Bathroom floor dirty. Old building.

Shortly after settling into our room I saw a baby roach on the bed. I called the front desk to explain what happened and before I could make a request the manager just said the room is clean because they get “sprayed” every 15 days but he would move me. A few minutes later the manager and his wife come to my room demanding to see the roach because I was lying and kept reiterating it gets cleaned every 15 days. The couple continued to speak in their language and finally blurted out in English that they were canceling and would give me my deposit back. I didn’t bother trying to argue I no longer wanted to stay the night so when I packed up everything back into my car I went to the front desk to get a receipt and my deposit but after I was handed my 100$ back the manager started speaking very loud almost yelling and said I had to cancel through ******* and I asked for some type of receipt, a name, a number … no one wanted to give me anything. I felt like they were being sketchy and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to lose out on my refund as I already had to find a new hotel extremely last minute. Finally a younger guy who spoke English a bit more clearly explained the process for a refund and gave me their business card after i repeatedly asked for some proof that I didn’t request a cancellation because I too want to cover myself. Over all 10/10 DONT recommend
