Eagle Rock Motel

In my opinion they deserve no stars. From the moment I got there.
The woman that is whatever she is there. Very suspicious, which murmured and complained after I told her the air-​conditioning wall unit had not worked after having it on for about 45 minutes to cool off. She soon gave another room with the working air-​conditioning complaining all the time under her breath.
After that it was that horror from the moment on. In the morning I had asked a friend to come by and then we go to breakfast from there. No sooner as I close the door she was banging on the door asking why did I have a visitor.
I expressed to her that it was a morning and because it was none of her business I felt I have to a tell her the rest.
She asked me to leave to which I told her that we would be going then I heard the threat of a tow truck ready to so my car out of her parking location.
Out of the embarrassment and humiliation my friend said he what see me later, it was like a nightmare I had never been told to leave anywhere I treated nothing with niceness and respect.
She treated me like a common criminal. 8 o’clock in the morning obviously I wasn’t ready to check out.
My advice don’t walk run far from that place. It would be better to open your window throw out the $ 60 plus a $ 20 that I gave her for her troubles in changing the room for me.
Who knows you may have a better experience. I hate when any business treats consumer like they are doing you a grand favor by excepting your hard earned money. Business like this should not be patron by the hard working public.
By me or any person that understands it no our little money but everything that goes with service.
They seriously should consider educating there staff in sensitivity courses
If there going to have there mama or any other family working with or for them.
Fat chance.

I walked up and they wouldn’t check me in before 6PM even though I walksed around and saw many rooms already cleaned. The rooms are terrible and smell awful.

Let’s be real. It one of those motels. You know, THOSE motels. The kind you don’t take someone you love, but the kind you take someone you certainly wouldn’t mind loving for a few hours. You catch my drift? Well, in all shame and in all honesty, I was one of the rare types that took someone I love here.
When me and my current wife first met, we never established if we were friends going out for the evening or if we were a little bit more than that. I always felt it was a little bit more than that, but I didn’t want to get too attach in the event she doesn’t feel an iota of love for me. Actually, it took about a month for me to even consider her interesting romantically. At first, I was just going along for the ride. I ended up meeting a week after hanging out with my current wife for the first time, an other girl who was obviously very interested in me. She made it obvious when she asked me the first time we met «Do you have a girlfriend?». I know she cared about me, but I didn’t feel anything for her; a worst case scenario for her, but I kept going out with her. I realized being around her was just a great way to kill the feeling of loneliness so I didn’t mind much at the time, but then I started to grow feelings for the girl who would become my wife.
So at this point I had to tell the other girl that as much as I thought she was a great person, I fell in love with someone else who may or may not love me themselves. Tough call, but I felt necessary. So after breaking her heart, the next day I went on a date with my future wife, not expecting much. We went to get dinner at Polka in Eagle Rock and afterward, we went inside her car when I spotted half a bottle of wine from a few nights before, a bottle we didn’t finish. I say «Where can we finish it?» and she said she was going to find a nice place to drink it. We drive around the Eagle Rock/​Glassel Park/​Highland Park area for a good fifty minutes just talking and listening to Tiny Tim. We pass by the Eagle Rock Motel and I jokingly say «Why don’t we drink there! Hyuk hyuk!». She u-​turns quickly and pulls right in. I’m shocked about her decisiveness, but I thought she was pulling a prank. All she said was that we should get a room for the night and finish the bottle. Being the naïve fool, I agree to this, get the key and we enter our room.
Here is where the actual reviewing part of this review comes in. The bed is as sleazy as they come with uncomfortable and itchy sheets and the mattress ain’t no ordinary mattress: it’s a water bed. The room itself was fairly unspectacular and I avoided the restroom for all but one shower. Did I mention the ceilings have mirrors? If that doesn’t give away what type of motel this is, then you’re just as stupid as me. Plus the area, the border of Highland Park and Eagle Rock, isn’t really a well regarded and scenic area and that part of Figueroa isn’t really heavy with traffic. In fact, the only other person in that entire building was the small Mexican man working at the counter. As sleazy and ugly and awful as a motel comes. It’s like the bad cliché of the bad motel.
Well, me and her enter this mini-​Sodom and sit together on the bed. We have no cups and want to ignore the fact that we’re at a motel like this buy opening the bottle and drinking right out of it like animals. Well, one empty bottle later, we are both lying down a little soused in our music-​less room with only the sounds of cars with too much bass driving by. During the conversation, I notice the two of us start to move in closer to each other. I get paranoid and think «Am I coming in too strong? Is she doing this on purpose or am is she just adjusting herself and she just happens to be moving in closer.». There was a point where I’m not sure what exactly happened, but I leaned over and started to kiss her. After hanging out with her for a good seven months as almost platonic boyfriend and girlfriend, it suddenly got to this point in a snap. Forward seven years and here we are now married.
It’s not the type of story I would want to tell my future children, but it’s a neat one to incorporate into this review about this Godawful motel. I felt bad to be with the person I now love more than anything in the world to a motel where married Highland Parkers and Eagle Rockers take their young mistresses for a quick lay away from home while their wives make dinner. I would certainly never go back considering what a scummy atmosphere it was, but I can say that I have incredibly positive memories of the place. Five stars for my personal experience, but from a subjective stand point, one star for the motel!
