About this property

Welcome to Budget Inn

Budget Inn is a straightforward motel located on Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Los Angeles, offering basic lodging with utilitarian rooms, some equipped with minifridges. The property includes air conditioning and free parking, but does not provide Wi-Fi, breakfast, or on-site dining options. Its accessible facilities are suitable for travelers prioritizing value and simplicity over additional amenities.

Guests describe the rooms as clean and comfortable, though modest, with small bathrooms and limited furnishings. While some found the water temperature pleasant and the staff accommodating, others noted quirks such as limited electrical outlets and occasional neighborhood disturbances. The motel’s atmosphere is best suited for those needing an affordable place to rest rather than a full-service hotel experience.

It is what it is. Last minute work assignment I was left without much options. The staff are nice, the deposit gets returned quick, and it’s a great location. It’s literally a bed. A tv. A toilet. And shower. So if you’re a high maintenance princess, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Pictures are better than irl, but it isn't bad. If they had a pool and room service, would get 5 stars. Was here with my b/f for a few days while they doing work on his place. I was also hoping to land a few roles or auditions, since hey, it's Hollywood right. Around dinner, he gets a call and has to leave, so, since we are paid up, I stayed, got a chance to practice some role playing and go out and earn some money. After all, Hollywood is known for that too. Room was clean, bed was clean, no stains, no bugs, no trash laying around. Bed was comfortable, the door locked which is always a nice thing. Bathroom was clean, able to go in and not worry about critters or things. Housekeepers are awesome, friendly and helpful. Nice place, will return if I get the chance.

I had a good experience here. No odors or bugs, my room was great except all the outlets were stripped so I couldn't charge my phone easily. Comfortable bed, you get what you pay for.

Super friendly staff. It's in a sketchy part of town but cameras everywhere. We didn't have any issues here. If you are expecting a Hilton experience here, don't book. It's literally just a place to sleep. No furniture except beds and a tv. The water was very hot and nice to shower. It's a great value for the price. Cheap. They are very accommodating. You can tell they are really trying to be a great place.

It's not much to look at from the outside but the rooms have been refurbished and are very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is small but we managed with 2 teens. Good value for the price.

I love this place. It offers a comfortable room with private bathroom (not sure if they have shared) a great value. The staff are amazing especially Rick and Reina (hope I spelled it correctly) these 2 are real stars and I appreciate how they are so helpful and kind. It is located in a prime Hollywood location but that comes with a price as which is an LA problem not the hotel so there may be some unwelcoming activities like illicit substance use and/or people playing loud music but again that has nothing to do with the property and in fact the times i called the staff to report a distubance in the surrounding area, they did take care of it. Just be mindful that they have a maximum stay of 14 days and if you want to extend you will have to leave ateast 1 night (not the best policy but at least they have one). Over all its a budget stay in a prime location + nice staff. For the price, Can't ask for more so please don't. Keep in mind that google reviews do not determine how many stars the hotel is, this is rating the property based on what it promises against what it delivers and for that this place earned 5 stars from me.

This place is just like what the reviews say.... except I liked it. The cockroaches that roamed this place were absolutely delicious. The screaming and drug deals that regularly took place outside made it feel just like home. As I continued to search the room, I found multiple Danny Devito picture cut outs in the vents that reminded me of how my family used to leave cat intestines underneath my bed. Bravo Budget Inn, five stars.

The budget inn is a no frills motel that is good for those looking for cheap and cheerful, well maybe not so cheerful but colorful characters that’s for sure. The words rough and tough come to mind although I’m an avid thrill seeker so this was right up my alley. The owner is awesome. Totally cool and extremely accommodating. This place is awesome
