Don’t waste your money
This is not a hotel. It is a rooming house at best. We booked the king bed suite, arrived and were given a box code for the key. The box was empty so we called management back and were given a different box code. That code did not work and eventually we were told the woman in the king suite decided to stay an additional night so we had to take the only room left which had a full size bed that looked like a child’s bed. The bathroom was extremely small, there was no air conditioning and we had to open windows to get some air. The place smelled like a cigarette when we first walked in. The room was dirty and needed a good washing down. The tv was too small for the room and there was no view of anything but the side of the building next door. We were told we were going to receive a total refund but have yet to receive it. Do not stay here. It looks like a crack house.

CITY Views Books Up Fast Especially on Weekend or Special EventsWe appreciate the two star review, This building is a hotel, and actual porters boarding house from the 1800 's Stayed Here .... established from the Riverun Train station that was more spectacular Then the Present Day Union Train Station. The Suites are more like Micro Train Suites from the Hey Day Everything is Asis except we don't use the Transom anymore.... Then in the 1900 pre Dodgers stadium Baseball Players riding the Train would literally come and stay and play at Doheny recreation Field with Vegetable fields in the Back Ground and a City Scape of the City Of Los Angeles. Our Clients come first yes mistakenly a party In King Suite opted to Extend, And note they normally call the office Sorry I found out while assisting your entry... So Yes we did have to give alternate access. But I was available an assisting you continuously by phone, and had back up on site Marina and Jiame to help me.....At the City View we basically have Only 1 King Suite. It's Cute. Simple poster bit for poster bed metal. Ikea style. and private bathroom Simi, the rooms are like. hotels style. Airbnb hostel style. Just simple. cute straight to the point. for an affordable option.Just to let the reviewer know we will be posting more pictures. but the demand has been very great. so that people can see everything. and we'll be upgrading the sweets even more continuous. so that you know the guest who are. coming can be happy. The room that you booked was about the size of an IKEA floor room. You know, a nice straight, sweet studio. Like booking I think it had a 37 inch TV. I'll check to see if the TV size is the right size and will take it under consideration to upgrade. We aim to please so. what I'm doing is after this review is to. view is to make sure that every is perfect for possibly a next visit. and trying to meet and succeed all reviews and expectations. at the same time keeping it simple, nice, clean and cost efficient while giving you the jazz and the cool effects.You have to request a view. There are basically, I believe, three suites with the view facility. One view is of Elysian Park. and Triangle Park the agapi church and the hill. and the bridge. Alternate views. Eastern exposure, sunrise. Another view. is the city of Los Angeles. and a European style bistro.99% of our guests really like and really love city views To get a refund, we have to know your name. You know the dates that you booked and to find out if you're under Booking penalties. there's always other people that are looking for an affordable. property to be able to save money and get some sleep and to get up and go.If you answer anonymously. how can we help? We need your name and your. date of stay and is. much information is possible because we have a lot of people that are coming and going. Thank. you so much. The property city views is a great place It's a budget place. It's an economy place

Key not there when I checked in called owner no reply. Banged on door eventually someone answered and I was shown to my room and where the kitchen was. No wardrobe the room had half empty packets of chips the view was a alleyway. Tried to open a drawer and it fell off. No kettle, shower pressure not enough to wash my hair. 2 hand towels left for 6 day stay Area unsafe I was at a bus stop with a man carrying a machete. At night it was very noisy with loud music. Basically this is a group of one bedroom rooms mainly long stay residents. With a couple of rooms sold as hotel rooms. On Friday night socket power went off I sent a text to the owner this was answered 18 hours later I managed to find someone to sort it out. When I checked out I was given no instructions so left my key under the door of apartment 5 I believe the caretakers. This venue needs to be taken off Expedia it is the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in across the world if you want photos and video I have plenty

Prior to my arrival someone answered the number and hung up. I wasn’t able to do a early check in prior to my arrival. Day of arrival I get there and there’s no front desk. Just lockboxes on a metal gate outside. I knock on the security door no one opens. Thankfully a older man sees me and talks to me. I show him my reservation. He opens the lockbox and hands me my key. Tells me the room number. No parking in the busy LA street luckily i found one available. Got to room no privacy open cracks everywhere I am positive voyeurs could see.

JorgeThank you so much for enjoying your stay. The Rooms are great nice Small Simple Clean and Ikea or Hostel style. The Beds are made with Nice High Quality Linen Cotton Bedding. The Windows most are 10 feet tall at least. ( Guessing ) This is a contactless facility we are really nice and want everyone to be safe. All guest must contact us prior to arrival at least 2 days send identification, and we give immediately the lockbox and passwordd.We want and desire little contact as possible and would like to keep you safe too... no joke.The Best Parking because wewant to see you back yes... is on Avenue 19 opposite side of the street there is ample parking there...... but if you select to park on our side it is first come first serve parking.We hope this answered the Questions and will make it Easier for you in the future.

Sketchy hideout
Let me start by saying, No AC. Deal breaker but that's just the beginning. If you're on the lamb or something, this is the place to be. That aside, no. This place is very misleading, I was supposed to get a suite, and got the smallest room ever, not sweet at all. Bitter in fact like the taste in my mouth after leaving this place. If comfort is your thing, stay clear of this place. If you're on the run maybe No one will come look for you here... ever

Wow thank you Adrian so much a lot of historic properties and Celebrity Suites are more non script Very Private. We Sell.out every day and most Travelers love not being high profile as tourists they can come and go and melt in without fear. The Enterance Very Private the tourists can come and go discreetly which is. 5 stars lol. Everyone isn't going to like us but the photos of the units are true to site. I have so many favorites the suite with Marilyn Monroe is cool.but.small quaint straight to the point easy to come and go as a travelerNot crazy big but simple cute with table chair cool photos on the wall. Private bath etc. Then I peaked inside of the King suite small but all the linen is white clean nice comfy bed large cabinet ikea rustic style large ref in both but thos has a poster bed white dreamy ... now I saw several poster beds in two suites... then there is a larger frontal suite which has a beautiful view of elysian park styled hotel like... but we are known for the history and location and just being simple and nice this area has roughly hundreds of people at events 5 minutes walking away great location for events in the area small nice outside patio walk.

Thank you so much we really for over 100 Years have had positive reviews. This property started with The Riverland Train Station Historic the Train Porters...It was basically one of the Main Hubs, and then Doheny Park which is a block away The Original Field of Dreams with the Corn Field in the Back drop the City of Los Angeles. Some people like us If they like Simple Historic Venues, But if they like standard Motel 6 or 8 ours might although a little above the Standard with amenities people like what they like, but we hope to get 99.9% like ratio...... And we thank you for coming and booking.... ( sorry you where not able to stay this time, maybe in the future when we glam up even more... ) We are ever Growing Thanks xoxo Cityview. This week we had over 1000 people in front of the Property for the 5 k race... They say Step by step.
