Great place good location very accommodating big rooms n easy to get in/out of
Dondo Stay is a very well maintained property with nice, modern touches. I felt very comfortable and safe at the location. I have already recommended Dondo Stay to others because I was very impressed, especially for the price!
yes, very nice. Though they could clarify it is a room in an apartment, converted to a motel/hotel stay, but communication is seamless which is greatly appreciated!
The imterior design set the perfect tone it felt like a small upscale hostel. So clean, all the ammenities, its in a neighborhood with a Roscoes and in driving distsnce to cvs/ Ralphs etc.
Property is very clean modern and quite with washer &Dryer. Will be returning next time in los Angeles erea.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Gave me a room that was tidied up, but with dirty sheets- was filled with body hair and clearly used. The support line was quick to respond, but ultimately unhelpful and they never solved the issue nor followed up.
Great stay overall. I just wish it wasn’t so cold in the building. Couldn’t find a thermostat. I know it’s Cali , but the nights I was there.. it was very cool outside. Otherwise I loved it.
This is a bedroom with private bath; there is a shared kitchen area downstairs. Very clean; comfortable bed. Way too much scent used in cleaning/laundry. When we arrived, the clean towels on the bed were damp and reeked of scent. I requested new towels via phone, but they never came so we found the dryer downstairs and dried them ourselves. The trash in our bathroom had not been emptied from the previous guests, so we did that too. All in all the place is fine but the housekeeping should be improved. If you bring your own teabags, you can make tea.
When I arrived, there was blood all over the bedding, which I did appreciate them switching quickly.
However, for 4 nights of my stay, I was unable to get in the front door and was left out in the rain late at night. The person in charge of communication was so incredibly rude and truly could not have cared less. Not once did they help me get inside. I had to rely on other random people from the building to let me in. It was incredibly unsafe.
