Went to breakfast they took forever!!!! Over one hour and we were the only ones there! The waffles were not fully cooked and they did not have enough staff to help in kitchen and restaurant. Also was not able to checkout later than 12:30 and the cleaning person started to vacuum at 7:30 am outside our door!!!! Never staying here again! Too bad, I hope they fix these issues with their staff.

I had a free breakfast with one of my reservations and when I went there at 6: 30am in the morning they wasn't serving breakfast yet so I left at 7:00 a.m. and breakfast still wasn't set up. I never received my breakfast that I had paid for because I couldn't wait any longer

The restaurant was terrible. Staff seemed bother when we sat down and they took for ever for a simple omelet. Cook and waiter clearly did not like each other. Had 5 daily coupons for breakfast, only used one. Most of the EV chargers were offline.

All most everything I occupied room 441, at 2:30 am in the next room I could hear very noisy people.I tried to call the lobby without success, I had to go down to the lobby but no one was at the counter I had to wait more than 30 minutes for someone to arrive, it was a bad night and I just wanted to rest.
- 4/5
The furnishings were standard, bed comfortable. The lighting in the room was better than most. There were a number of charging ports, the old rectangular ones, and outlets by the bed There were problems with maintenance. A visible repair in the the ceiling over the toilet had started to leak again., Lets not think about the where that water came from. We were given a different room and an upgrade. The clerk at the desk was very helpful We had a roll in shower, it flooded the bathroom due to poor design and inadequate curtain. When showering bring your glasses because the print on the soap etc. bottles in the shower is small. One of the doors to the parking lot was not secured at all. I guess the keycard pad didn't work. We went in for breakfast at 9AM, not included, made to order eggs. By 9:50 we still hadn't received our eggs. The waiter said there would be a wait but at 9:50 he said something about the manager filling in and had no idea when we would get out food. We walked out

Quiet hotel. Clean & spacious rooms. Great TV channels for a relaxing moment. Staff was friendly 10/10. Pool area could be better monitored, considering it’s a family oriented hotel. A few people were blasting their personal speaker and drinking (pretty trashy). Also, you could visibly see dirty skin residue in the bubbles of the hot tub, pretty gross.

The hotel was nice to stay and in good location. However they don’t even have bottle water provided, we’ll have to purchase water ourselves, very inconvenient.

Our stay was great from start to end. The lobby is beautiful, location is around lots of shops and restaurants, rooms were spacious and clean, and staff were welcoming and kind. We didn’t utilize all the amenities, but it was nice that it was available. The only complaint is at times, the water didn’t quite or took a long while to get hot. Though this was no deal breaker. Would stay again!

Even more concerning was the hotel’s lack of care afterward. We felt no genuine concern, empathy, or effort to help us after our belongings were stolen. Travelers deserve to feel safe and supported. Based on our experience, I would urge others to consider this before booking.

Wished they had continental or a breakfast buffet, it would make it easier to eat or grab something real quick, instead you have to order from a menu, also their breakfast hours are limited to 3 hours (6:30 - 9:30). It would be nice to provide you with a bottle of water upon checking in. Location is good, quiet, and safe. A few restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance.

Hotel seemed to be in a better area of the LA suburbs than some. Short distance to retailers and food. The hotel was upkept and clean. I would stay there again. With that said several drawbacks to note: (1) The parking spaces (free!) were very tight. If you have a large SUV, it is problematic when the hotel is busy. (2) The room thermostat was locked at 70 degrees. If you enjoy sleeping in a colder room, this might not be the place. (3) Also presumably for cost savings, the water in the room never got hot ... just slightly warm. Warm enough not to be uncomfortable, but that was about it.

This is still one of my fav places to stay in LA. The hotel is very close to all the food places the family loves, the room is spacious and clean. The parking is very convenient and no fee. I'll stay again.

The cleaning wasn’t done well. There’s still some shaving cream or other stuff left on the shower wall from the previous guest. Also, the soundproofing is really bad. I stayed for four days and could hear the footsteps and TV from the room upstairs every day, so I couldn’t get proper rest.

My biggest issue was the bathroom. The lights were motion sensor (???) but for some reason the lights would shut off after less than a minute if you were not right in front of the mirror/ at the sink! It was so unnerving being on the toilet and in the shower, using the bathroom and showering in the dark! I don't know if every room is like this, but it was terrible.

The hotel was comfortable and clean. Front desk and security were friendly. We had 4 people in our room large room. We only had 3 towels and wash cloths. We got two tickets for breakfast. Which is hard to decide who gets it. One morning we waited for our breakfast to be prepared. It to long. We left with our getting it since we were in a hurry.

The hotel, sadly, was having ALL OF THE CARPET REPLACED!!! Seriously. It was interesting. Room was just right and the staff was swell. Honestly, coming from the Midwest, LA is pretty dirty but this facility was pretty tidy. Jacob was excellent up front but the Chinese speaking employee was hilarious because she did not seem to understand anything we were asking her. There is a very busy Chinese restaurant in the hotel so that made the visit pretty different. All in all we would WOULD stay there again..

Room is good - big, bed very comfortable, bathroom fine with nice shower. Corridors need refresh - look and feel dirty. Gym was good. Overall fine for a night or two but expected more for the cost and the great reviews.
