Super 8 by Wyndham Los Angeles-Culver City Area

Great location near the beach and local shops and food. The street was not busy.

Room was located near the laundry room which made it noisy.

Property was as advertised. Friendly staff. Good cleaning crew who helped me practice my Spanish a bit. In General the place is not a top notch hotel obviously, but very good value for the money spent. Happy that staff could accommodate some wishes like doing my laundry as I was staying quite a long time for the World Cup with very little luggage. The location in Culver City is great. Close to Venice Beach and Santa Monica, the LAX airport and SoFi Stadium. LA in general is not a city for walking anywhere unfortunately. So if you don’t rent a car you will probably spend quite some money “Ubering around”. There were some nice cafes and restaurants in walking distance to the hotel which I appreciated. Even the famous In-N-Out Burger is in walking distance. Room was big and comfortable, so was the bed. The fact that someone could basically drive up in the courtyard and park in front of my room door, is something I still need to get used to as a European, but it’s something super common in American hostels.

Breakfast was included in the price but it was only available until 9am, which in my opinion is clearly not long enough. Also, I have never really understood what continental breakfast means. But if it’s only cakes, cookies, some bread, pastries and black coffee then it’s not what we in the Center of the old continent (Austria, Germany, Poland counties I lived in) have for breakfast. Generally this is then the typical Italian /French breakfast which is basically a croissant and coffee and that’s it. I definitely missed scrambled eggs, Omelett or pancakes and other things that would actually make me want to go have breakfast. Long story short I always got my breakfast from nearby places instead of the hotel. A more General issue: since I have developed a peanut/walnut/sesame/hazelnut allergy it’s quite annoying to have only pastries/cookies/bread (maybe cereal)(which can often all contain some sort of nuts according to the packaging as options… No matter the allergy every breakfast should contain at least some real protein options like eggs, ham, cheese, or even meats, soy, etc. a sugary yoghurt is not it either. Second thing I didn’t like was that the cash machine in the hotel lobby was charging extra for cash withdrawals. Third thing: free water bottles should always come in the fridge complimentary to the hotel booking. And cleaning staff should fill up the fridge with new water every day. I think it’s a bit of a rip off to have to go to a vending machine outside the room every time for water. (Again: maybe that’s normal in the US).

Big rooms with all amenities you might need, very clean, comfy beds, free parking. Definitely staying here when I visit again.

Everything was great.

Room was decent but there were spiders in a corner and we tried to kill them but saw more. It was good enough for a quick stay, I guess. Breakfast was an added plus.

Spiders in the room and webs in corners.
