Ramada by Wyndham Culver City

This place charged my account $555.62 for a reservation that was cancelled. They are saying I failed to show up for my reservation. (I have proof I cancelled) but they said they are charging me for 1 nights stay. That would be the 24 cancellation policy that all hotels have. They aren’t supposed to authorize your card for the entire amount unless I actually showed up there with a debit card and ID. An actual check in. I never checked in. I stayed at an air b and b. Not only did they do that, they refuse to acknowledge they did. Like I’m crazy and what I’m looking at isn’t real. It’s clear as day that my card has been authorized for $555.62. He hid from me and told the front desk to tell me that he wasn’t on the property after he hung up on me I showed up there. He tried hiding and when I left, I stayed in my rental for an additional 10 min. During that time, the front desk told him I left so I see him coming around the corner. He seems me looking at him and he figured out I must be the lady he hung up on. He walks into the establishment and locks the door behind him so I can’t come in. After doing that, I took my phone out to take his picture and he posed with peace signs and duck lips.

This hotel is located in the heart of Culver’s city and is easily accessible by public transportation. The customer service is awesome and they provide complimentary breakfast as well as complimentary WiFi. There is guest laundry on site and vending machine by the front desk. I just wish they had a swimming pool and gym

I read tons of reviews for my impromptu trip out to LA, and found this motel was the best option for the price point. As others have noted, this is an older motel with some updates needed. However, check-in and check-out was friendly and easy, the parking is free (a huge win for the LA-area), there is hot coffee in the breakfast room in the mornings, and the room I had - while dated and could use some upgrading - was safe and clean. The staff is very helpful. If something isn’t in your room that you were expecting, they are happy to make sure you have it. Some things to note - the carpet in my room was worn and had obvious signs of wear, but it was clean. The pillows could new newer, but as it was just me, I just piled them into the layers I needed. If I am coming back to visit the Venice Beach and Beverly Hills areas again on a budget, I would keep this on my list to stay at again.
