Disappointing
Pros:

The rooms were comfortable.

Cons:

The pool and spa had not been kept clean and so we're unusable.
The restaurants in walking distance were basic, subway or Denny's and didn't even serve a beer.
So you had to drive to eat a proper meal.
Unfortunately there was a power surge when we were there so couldn't even eat out has to get food from the supermarket and eat in our room, not ideal .

It's best hotel I've ever stayed-in in Southern California.
Pros:

Immaculate clean bedroom and bathroom. All the lights in the room works. No foul odor. Abundant furnitures and appliances. Complimentary breakfast I tried consisting of milk, sausages, eggs, pancakes, and pastry. Friendly, helpfull staff. A gym is available and other relaxation facilities.

Cons:

Noisy AC/fan unit, but I still slept well.
