Ok, but the area was not the best
We stayed at Jerry's motel for 1 night. We were told it is in an ideal area for accessing the 'delights' of LA, which it is if you want to go to downtown LA. It is also cheap for accommodation if you are on a budget. However, the area on appearance didn't look very nice and we were kept up at night by noise from the apartments blocks opposite.
I think this was simple a case of the wrong type of traveller in the wrong accommodation and Jerry's would be perfect for someone looking to stay in LA on a limited cash flow. However in my opinion i would prefer to stay in a cheaper hotel out near the airport that hows all your amenities and is still fairly cheap and then drive to the sites that i wanted to see.
On a side note the people at Jerry's were very helpful and i was given a nice welcome bag which for a motel was a nice surprise.
