Dissapointing stay
Pros:

It was a good place to visit close to Griffith. Close by there is a couple of good restaurants and it has a good location.

Cons:

We ordered a t-shirt from a company and usually hotels take the package, sometimes there is an upcharge which we would not have minded to pay, however here it was just a plain no, which created problems for a whole morning while we tried to reroute the package unsuccessfully, since then there was a feeling of hard disappointment, we don't understand since the hotel could do an extra revenue by charging for receiving the package, which would have given a better impression of customer care and the employees were too afraid to say even to their manager, no good vibes at all from the hotel.

Ruhige Nacht
Pros:

Wir waren in 2016 schon einmal da und diesmal waren wir positiv überrascht über die Aufwertung der Umgebng durch einen einfachen aber sehr guten Mexikaner, durch das Cafe an der Ecke und das Restaurant/Bar Edmon beim Hotel selber. Die Umgebung ist immer noch angenehm & man fühlt sich sicher. Der Parkplatz für $ 18/Nacht war angemessen. Das Hotel ist älter aber soweit gut unterhalten. Wir hatten ein Zimmer auf den Parkplatz und es war sehr leise, so dass Schlafen bei offenem Fenster problemlos möglich war. Das Bad ist sehr klein aber sieht renoviert & sauber aus.

Cons:

Leider der übliche Teppich und es hatte nur ein Nachttischchen. Der Geruch im Zimmer war sehr streng und ich habe es der Rezeption gemeldet. Am zweiten Abend, war der Geruch dann aber verschwunden und deshalb unser Aufenthalt um einiges angenehmer. Dunkbraune wuchtige Möbel im Kolonialstil.

Pros:

Przestronny i czysty pokój oraz łazienka.

Cons:

Problem z parkowaniem - późnym wieczorem nie było dostępnych miejsc parkingowych (a za parking płaci się z góry w recepcji) - zawsze udawało się gdzieś stanąć, natomiast niekiedy zastawiając inne samochody. Warto byłoby wyliczyć liczbę dostępnych miejsc parkingowych na liczbę gości, którzy wykupili parking.

I love small hotels!
Pros:

It's exactly what I pictured for a historic hotel. Small and quaint. Didn't use the elevator, we were just on the 2nd floor, BUT it looked tiny! Looks scary lol
Loved that they had easy parking access.

Cons:

I didn't stay long enough to see if there were any cons. It was only 1 night, and we left super early the next day.
