I had the pleasure of staying at the fremont inn. I recently moved from mi to ca and stayed at this establishment for about 2 and half months. The staff were extremely courteous and aided in anything i needed. The rooms were great and I rested comfortably after back from work. I highly recommend the fremont inn to anyone in the area.

Positives: Was somewhat near various locations in LA



I had the misfortune of staying at the Fremont while in LA on a job, and had no choice of hotel. Despite seeing the numerous negative reviews, I tried to stay positive and hoped that the hotel would prove them wrong. However, they were all completely true.



The hotel from the exterior has recently been redone, and we learned from the liaison for our job that they're in the process of renovating to convert to long-stay apartment/suites for Chinese businessmen. The owner used this to try and excuse our rooms. Not one of the ten rooms for our party was clean or decent. Highlights of my room were the dirty carpet, which despite being vacuumed, had not been vacuumed along the walls or the corners, where there was tons of visible dirt. Checking for bed bugs, we found numerous dead bed bug skins along the side of the mattress. When one in our group asked the staff about this, they said that it was a few isolated cases and that they had taken care of it. One man in our group switched three rooms until finding one without bed bug carcasses on the sheets. Everything was covered in dust, and when I wiped the desk with a Clorox wipe, it came back covered in solid black dirt. The remote's batteries were dead, and the TV was mounted on a literal plank that did rotate. Needless to say, I have never walked around without my shoes on.



The bathroom was the next disaster. The counter was dirty, and on one side has large burn marks from a curling iron. One towel was littered with bed bug carcasses. The sink has no cover over the drain, and I lost a razor but dared not get it back. From the metal vents in the lobby ceiling, they don't bother to clean their metallic parts of the hotel. The shower head was extremely low (I'm 5'11 and it was at eye level) and no hair dryer or amenities (soaps, shampoo, etc.) were available.



All the walls in the room were littered with holes, marks, and various mystery substances, which prompted us to have our job liaison contact the owner. He, without apology, said he would look into it. We requested that due to the abysmal condition of the rooms that they be professionally cleaned that day before we returned. The result was a slightly more thorough vacuuming, and the beds being made. No dusting, no wiping, no bleaching.



Their website advertises a "Deluxe Continental Breakfast", which consists of off-brand cereal, stale milk and stale bread. No fruit was visible, though we did meet an older chinese woman who seemed like one of the owners. Without a doubt, she was the rudest hotel employee I have ever met. She constantly glared at us, and made it very clear we were bothering her. She went as far to ask if we were with the group, and she requested our room numbers, explaining that we were getting a 40% discount and therefore that we would only get maid service twice in our five night, six day stay.



Furthermore, this hotel does not only provide a dirty, dim, dangerous atmosphere, with rude, uncaring staff, it also is in violation of numerous health and safety standards, the most prominent being their elevator expiration certificates, which expired over a year ago.



We, I'm sure, only scraped the surface of the hell that is the Fremont Inn. The loud, industrial surroundings add insult to injury. The owners should be ashamed to treat their guests so badly. This hotel could not be shut down too soon and I hope they are for the safety of any unfortunate future guests. Choosing anywhere other than the Fremont would be a better choice. The one positive review must be the owners, because this dump is possibly the worst hotel in LA.



After arriving home I've found close to twenty bed bug bites over my arms and back. The staff claims that it isn't possible I got them there, although the only place I slept for the past five nights was their hotel



AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

This is the dirtiest and most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed at and I had a prostitute workin the room next to mine. Do not stay here. I would recommend sleeping in a cardboard box rather than this place. BE WARNED!!!
