Cons:

beaucoup de choses ne marchait pas, la chasse d’eau fonctionnait une fois sur deux, impossible d’éteindre la clim, elle descendait toute seule quand se mettre.

Für einen Kurzaufenthalt von 2-3 Nächten ganz ok.
Pros:

Grundsätzlich ist die Lage des Hotels nicht schlecht. Es ist aber nicht im Zentrum und deshalb ist man auf ein Fahrzeug angewiesen. Man kann auch zu Fuss zum Venice Beach spazieren - ca. 20 Minuten. Auf dem Rückweg in der Dunkelheit empfehlen wir ein Uber.
Umliegend findet man einige feine Restaurants, welche zu Fuss erreichbar sind.

Cons:

Der Pool sieht nicht wirklich appetitlich aus... war etwas schade...

Great for families
Pros:

Great facilities, especially the pool and hot tub which the kids loved. Fifteen minute walk from Mothers beach. great food at Wacky Wok and Paisita just across the road and a liquor store next door for drinks and snacks. beds were comfortable and room was clean and spacious Very quiet.

Cons:

air con was not very strong and avoided the Vyblee in room dining. we were charged for food that never arrived, promised a refund and then ignored when we followed up. Vyblee is not part of the hotel, so you don’t have to use it - use uber eats or door dash instead.
