Very California Hotel
The hotel spaces are amazing. The 24 hour diner might be one of the best in SoCal. The tapas restaurant was stellar, and like all things at this hotel a lot for the eye to take in. The maximalism of the hotel & rooms might be too much for some, others will find this a utopia. Also best assortment of alcohol in the mini bar was probably ever regardless of the price. Not a party hotel by any means, but definitely on the younger side/energy. Overall a great stay in a very California hotel away from the hustle & bustle of downtown or gas lamp.

Birthday Getaway for the win!
Our stay was amazing! We were so inspired by the design and architecture (and smell) of the venue!
The Beginner’s Diner was delicious! Banana+Coconut milkshake is a must-have!
Thanks for making my husband’s birthday so special!

Very cool design and they were helpful when I asked to change rooms. But be prepared for a party hotel, probably my fault for not realizing that. Even after moving rooms the noise was really loud late into the night but at least we didn't hear the bowling. My main issue was the amenities, they are

Great girls trip
Great stay! Perfect for a girls trip. Literally did not need to leave the hotel- fun pool, great bar, absolutely amazing food. Only thing to note is that it is an older building so the rooms are not sound proof- I was in a standard king and it was very loud, even with earplugs and a sleeping pill I had a hard time sleeping. Also, pool gets super crowded! But will definitely be back!

Very vibey, cool, party hotel! Very laid back staff, super busy bars and pool. We got early check in but no late check out. Woke up early to claim a chair by the pool. Didn’t have a kettle or coffee in my room. Food was great! Drinks so expensive but delish!

Amazing!
My sister and I loved this place! The vibes are immaculate. The only suggestion I have is to add another trash can in the rooms. There’s only one in the restroom and another would be useful. The servers around the pool are awesome and I love the text concierge.
