Overall, the stay was okay with the ambience.
Pros:

I don't believe any breakfast was served at all. It was just some snack items and coffee which were available. The bed was comfortable, and the seat and table setting was convenient. The flat screen television and the proximity to the Santa Anita Racetrack were all right.

Cons:

There weren't any eateries close by, and bus service along Colorado Place was taken away. Had to walk some distance to get to any convenience store or supermarket. For the price paid for the room, there should be amenities like Kleenex, a small refrigerator and a clock made available. There wasn't any soap available in the room either. The presence of quite a few cockroaches was unsettling as well.
