Wilshire Orange Hotel

Disgusting owner and clean your own room.

Non noteworthy

I had a great stay at Wilshire Orange Hotel during spring break. The place was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The owner was amazing—super kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely stay here again!

The location. Single bed

Bug bites, fleas and mosquitoes

Our son was staying there to be close to work. It was a small room with a shared bathroom. The main advantage was the price for the location and quality. The manager was especially helpful.

The place needs to be renovated and there is a shared bath

You can’t beat this price. Shared bathroom is ok. Again for the price is as good as it gets. Bring your own bed sheets.

We left after the first night as there was no heat or hot water. The manager Julian was supposed to cancel the reservation so that we could be refunded the final six nights as we'd booked for a week as we were unable to through Hotels.com and he never did! Still waiting for our refund of six nights plus the $150 deposit he insisted on at check in. He is rude on the phone and keeps hanging up on me or not answering when I call. The worst hotel experience I have had in my life STAY AWAY this place is a total dump, holes in the door, no hot water and the guy who runs it is shady. I cannot believe this place is even listed here it takes all credibility away from your site.

The property manager is exceptionally helpful and friendly

This was the worst experience. Booked the room for 2 weeks. 438pm booked starting the day of. I contact Orange and the manager says he could not meet me to check in until 10pm. I text him at 830ish to confirm he can make it on time. He never responds to my call or text. I show up 945pm. He shows up at 1035pm and brings me through a f’d up looking building to a room that is next to an old lady who is telling us we are evil and the devil. I’m thinking.,,oh sht…this is going to be a hell of a 2 week stay. He opens the door and this room has a twin bed with a night stand…room measuring about 55 sq ft maybe. But, the size was not as bad as the visual…oh man…it was not pleasant and not acceptable and the wrong advertised room. He agrees and says he will cancel the booking and refund my money…in short.,,he dodged Expedias calls and emails. Doges my calls and texts. Couldn’t get my refund without confirmation from the property,,,after communication with Expedia…they finally gave me my refund. Hmmm.,,not cool.,,not happy about it still. Scamming thieves…

No parking area available

The place was clean and the manager accommodating to meet me at the hotel when I arrived at 3AM to check me in. The cold-water spigot in the shower did not work making for a very hot and weak shower. The bathroom mirror was over the toilet instead of the sink because of the way the bathroom is laid out. The walls were blank, not one picture and no waste basket in the room. The bathroom had a very small waste basket. There were no towel racks. Half way through the week I ask house keeping to change my bed sheets and she refused.

Nothing Very very very old building that needs renovation loooooong time ago. Awful smell everywhere. Smells like erderly people 's house. AWFUL.. We stayed for a week with a shared bathroom. The housekeeper came just once the day before we were leaving, doesn't make any sence as she did not clean anything, she brought us new towels and toilet paper to the toilet. We used same towels for 6 days. I had to clean the toilet myself. If you will decide to stay here, make sure to buy airfreshener, cleaning products etc. There is a microwave and fridge in the room. Old TV that noone needs. No bedside lights, extremely uncomfortable bed. Better to buy a kettle and 2 cups so guests can make a tea or coffee in the morning

Upon arrival, the hotel manager was not on the property, had to wait almost a hour for the manager to arrive. As we got our room, it was not sanitary, dust are everywhere and on everything, the carpet feels as if it hasn’t been properly washed in a while. TV doesn’t work, microwave keeps blowing fuse, and there was an extension cord that’s got every appliances plugged in right by the window curtain, creating a potential fire hazard. Bathroom is shared with everybody, it’s not sanitary as well, black mold on corner of the ceiling in bathroom. Also we were not informed that the property’s roof was going under construction, workers making a lot of noises on the roof in the room we were staying at, would go on all day until almost 9pm. There’s also smell of smoking lingering from the room next to the room we stayed in despite the policy explicitly stated no smoking, and that there is a $250 fine for doing so. If you’re short on money, and need a place to escape, this place might be for you but be wary of the review I’m leaving here for future renters. Would not ever come back here again.

Nothing

The TV was outdated the bathroom shower water was dripping and shooting everywhere housekeeping was friendly. I would recommend this hotel location.

Great location. The room was a bit run down but comfortable. Good value. Could have been cleaner.

We went to check in and no one was in the property, that’s fine, things happen. We called the number, it was for the “main” office the lady was nice, she got in contact with the person in charge of checking in, they told us to wait 20min. 20 min passed, 30, 40 & by the 50min I called back. She called the manager again & he said he would be there but didn’t give her a time. We told her we still had errands to do & wanted to eat. We had a long day after traveling. She said it was fine as long as we check in before midnight. We left,we’re waiting for food (luckily only 15min drive away) & we get a call from the manager that he’s there and no one is there to check in. We told him that we left cuz they told us as long as we check in before midnight we should be good. He said he couldn’t wait & either we go now or cancel the whole thing. What?! Cancel the whole stay & try to scramble for a room for 8days?! We rushed over there, he did apologize for the wait but he also said we had to check in by appointment. That it said so in the email. We told him we never received an email, he said that sometimes that happens & it wasn’t the first time time happens or it wouldnt be the last either. Fine we got the check in process done he takes us to the room & omg! The shower didn’t even have a shower head, the water that came out of that was like a tiny skinny stream of water. There was a door in the bathroom that freaked us out. The area is nice but the room was ugly. We check out in the morn

It’s a very old building of small apartments. The decor is very old but if you just need a bed and shower that works, it will do the job. Could use better light exclusion under the door and better curtains and locks. Parking is tricky so be careful to read street signs. Good location.
