City24 Hotel Little Italy Mission Hills
Undervalued property in such a good location as long as you don’t mind the freeway and place noise but to me the pros of the property easily outweigh it.

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel
Rooms are really small, but provide most amenities. You have to ask for cleaning service and new towels. They charge for parking but you can find free parking on the streets. Decent place for price.
