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.
