Très bon hotel bien situé pour visiter Los Angeles
Pros:

Hôtel calme, propre, très bien situé près du pier Santa Monica (bus tout proche ou voiture, à pied il y a un peu de marche quand même). Chambre confortable, personnel serviable et disponible.
Parking disponible

Cons:

La salle du petit déjeuner est vraiment petite, peu de places assises. Mais il est compris dans le tarif c’est un plus.
Tarif du parking un peu élevé.

Pros:

Nice hotel, big rooms and good housekeeping. Bus stops right outside hotel

Cons:

I wouldn’t choose to stay here if you’re on holiday and first time to LA. It is so far from everything, even a half hour walk to Santa Monica.
I thought it was very over priced, and the breakfast was poor and there was not enough seating for everyone

Pobyt udany, miło spędzony czas, polecam
Pros:

Hotel skromny ale czysty, obsługa pomocna, miłym zaskoczeniem były śniadania, o których nie było informacji. Blisko przystanek autobusowy, w pobliżu sklepy, kawiarnia.

Cons:

Lokalizacja, jednak położenie hotelu od plaży to jakieś 2km, ale dzielnica ok.
