Hyde Park Motel

Very Clean. Firm bed and pillows. Big bathroom, Flat Screen TV, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. Questionable area.

I was looking for an affordable motel that was relatively close to downtown LA. I got this place at $50 night special and was I surprised when I went in to my room. The room itself was huge and it had a mini fridge, microwave, and iron/ironing board. Parking was never a problem and there is a security car that makes random patrols at night. Sure, the surrounding area is a little rough around the edges, but hey, you're the one looking around Crenshaw :) So if you happen to be in similar situation, I highly recommend this motel.

Full 5 stars here, you read it right. The area is a bit sketchy but the people are nice here. The motel itself is nice and clean with a fridge and microwave inside and there is limited parking here. There is parking in the back area which looks kinda scary as there is barbed wire running along the top of the wall. Felt safe still as I knew nobody was coming over the wall to mess with the cars. Peoples homes are covered in bars all across the windows too but that is the nature of the neighborhood. Life is what you make it, walk with a good vibe and nobody bothers you. You can find bad things/people anywhere just as you can find the good. I love the area, culture and people. Great stay and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again when I am back in my old stomping grounds. Crenshaw Blvd was under construction when we were there in July but should be done by now. Convenience store just on the corner less than 2 minutes walking from the Hyde Park Motel.
