Bronco Motel South Central

DO NOT BOOK HERE. I don’t expect luxury from a budget motel. I can overlook worn carpet or a lingering smell of cigarette smoke. I do expect a clean bed and a room that’s safe to sleep in. This place failed at both. My husband and I’s bed came with one flat pillow. I asked REPEATEDLY for more and got excuses, but never another pillow. The sheets had cigarette burns, old makeup stains, what I sincerely hope wasn’t blood stains. There was rotting food in the fridge, the one mirror was all scratched up with graffiti, and had ripped off the wall, and the filthy shower definitely had someone else’s pubic hair all over it. The fire alarm had been torn out of the ceiling, the buttons from the TV, and the remote looked like it was used as a chew toy. People blasted music from a car in the parking lot all the night, and the toilet was leaking, so was re-filling constantly. Also they wouldn’t give me a key card without leaving a 20$ cash deposit and refused to give me a receipt? Obviously you have to expect certain things from a motel in South Central and I set my expectations accordingly, I definitely didn’t book the cheapest place I could find, but for 130$, clean sheets, a functioning fire alarm, and a response to a simple request for pillows should be the bare minimum. Stay anywhere but here.

This place was awful.. almost slept in car instead. Sheets were dirty, ac didn't work correctly. Never will stay again

Clean room hot shower nice shower but it keeps coming off track and the tv didn't work even tho we were going to be watching it anyway

Beds were really dirty smelled like cigarettes and sheets had a lot of brown stains

I just stayed here 7/2/2-26 to 7/5/26. For context, this was the weekend of July 4th (America's 250th anniversary), the World Cup, and Anime Expo + Hololive concerts. This meant that hotels near the Los Angeles Convention Center and Shrine Auditorium were very expensive. It was on average about $300-350 a night if you wanted hotels near those locations during this time frame. Enter Bronco Motel South Central. I stayed here for $115 a night. You know the saying, you get what you pay for? Well here, you really do. 1st night = no working hot water in the shower. I had to ask the morning after for the employee to check on it. He told me the owner was out of town and then didn't really offer a solution. I told him that isn't acceptable and it needs to be fixed because you can't have no working hot water, let alone for 2 days in a row. He eventually relented but the fact I had to even push for it and he saw nothing wrong with that was annoying. I'm not expecting the cleanest room ever for this price but good lord. If you're not the type to stomach seeing some holes in the blanket and sheets amongst other things, stay away. I did inspect the entire room (bed, bathroom, corners, etc.) for bed bugs with my phone flash light. Luckily, there were none at least. But regardless, the room isn't exactly the cleanest thing around. The location is also actually awful. People drive along the road next to it literally all night. I regret staying here.
