Nice Place
Pretty cool hotel. Nice sized rooms. Very conveniently located close to Doheny State Beach. If you are there to hit up the beach or see a music festival like Ohana this is a great place to stay. Employees were super friendly and even got a little gift bag upon checking in. Walking distance to several shops and restaurants. Like I said room was very specious and definitely more like a suite than a standard sized room.

The place was great. It was decorated really cute for Christmas. But a bummer the pool wasn’t open. The pool was definitely a selling point since we had so many kids there for a family reunion.

This hotel is one of the better ones we’ve stayed at. Room was clean, beds were comfortable and breakfast was better quality than other hotels. The only thing bad during our stay was the person above our room started playing music at 5:00 am one morning and kept us awake.

Our stay at this hotel went beyond my expectations. It's a lovely location on a hill away from traffic but still so loose to the freeway. There was plenty of easy parking, and the staff members were very professional and friendly. We liked the room. Even though it was not that spacious, everything was placed nicely—plenty of plug points, including USB ones. I'll stay here again if needed.

I liked that it was clean, staff friendly, rooms okay, beds comfortable.
What I didn't like pertains to most hotels here in the US, no Bidets. This country needs to get on board with bidets, cleans better, less TP, healthier option and in the long run saves money.
