Lovely stay in Los Angeles.
Pros:

We loved staying at this location, it was easy to walk to places and also to park the car and drive further around LA.
The pool was lovely and great to have this outside our apartment.

Cons:

The only negative comment is the smell of the swimming pool was quite strong and you could smell it through the kitchen windows.

GREAT LOCATION! RUSTIC LARGE ROOMS!
Pros:

Liked the comfort of the beds. Size of rooms are the best part. Pool nice, could use a touch up. Staff is always amazing!!

Cons:

Aged rooms. EXTREMELY LOUD from the alley construction out your room window! No AC, but that's just preferred for us.
