I have tried to book a private room thru their website for May. I had to put my credit carddetails and it said a confirmation would be emailed either immediately or withing 24 hrs cant remember. almost a week has passed - i emailed the address on contacts page 2 days after that initial booking to ask if it had... more

This place is in an alright spot - not far from shops/restaurants on Melrose, around the corner from the Farmer's Market and about a 30 minute walk to West Hollywood's gay clubs. The room was really crap - almost flat against a main road on the ground floor, very basic with ugly furniture (despite the alright looking pics on their... more

Some friends and I got a room at the Orbit during our move to Los Angeles. First thing I didn't care for was the parking, it's under the hotel and if you block a car in you are required to leave your keys with the front desk. Big issue considering there was nobody working the hotel at night, so who... more

Have stayed at the Orbit a few times of the last few years and have always had the best time. It's clean, super friendly and there's alway a lot going on. Never a dull time! more

Really enjoyed the Orbit. We arrived at LAX airport and some cool shaggy haired american guy solicited us.

Their bed and furniture are crawling with these creatures, which bite and burrow themselves into your skin, and suck your blood while you sleep and watch tv. We stayed in a private room in Sept 2008 and it was filthy, smelly... more

We originally booked a private room at the "Banana Bungalow" but got immediately transfered to the Orbit. Not a problem so far... But trouble started as soon as we got there and even went on after we left. First of all the staff's pretty unfriendly and always busy with being busy. Plus the rooms (we stayed in #1) have some... more

This place is terrible, the images online looking nothing like they do in reality and my friends and i got dust mites from the carpets which infected all our clothes. stay there at your own risk!!! more
