Linda experiencia
Pros:

La ubicación y la atención del personal es excelente. La relación precio-calidad me pareció caro para el nivel del hotel, que tiene aspecto exterior de motel. Las camas de la habitacion contigua no es cómoda. Fuimos en temporada baja, con lo cual no fue ruidoso. Caro el parking del hotel. Y sugerencia sacar alfombras y agregar microondas.

Cons:

La cama de la habitación contigua es incómoda. Y el precio es elevado comparado con otros hoteles misma ubicación y mayor confort o lujo

Super Hotel.
Pros:

Die Lage und das renovierte Zimmer. Zudem hatte ich anfangs Probleme mit dem Safe. Mir wurde sofort geholfen. Ich würde es jederzeit wieder buchen. Danke.

Cons:

Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass das Hotel zumindest Frühstück anbietet. Ich habe aber eher das Gefühl, dass es in Los Angeles fast normal ist, kein Frühstück anzubieten...

Cons:

O fato de o Hotel não ter recepção 7x24 atrapalha um pouco entradas e saídas muito cedo.
Mas eles resolveram estas situações de forma minimamente satisfatória.

Nice place, friendly staff; lovely private courtyard court
Pros:

Only stayed one night but Cameron in the office was very friendly and accommodating. As an older woman traveling alone, I felt very safe in the courtyard setting of the hotel since it was on a busy street. Loved the tables and Umbrellas right outside my door and the pretty garden look.

Cons:

Parking was very tight. When I went to my car the next morning I could barely get in the door. Cars on either sides were so close. No one would have been able to even open the passenger door
