Bien placé et agréable à Los Angeles
Pros:

Bel endroit, jolie chambre et décoration. Cosy et propre. piscine et terrasse magnifique. Personnel très sympathique et accueillant.

Cons:

L’insonorisation des fenêtres car la nuit il y a beaucoup de bruit dans la rue et cela raisonne. Le quartier comme tout le centre ville n’est pas très bien fréquenté comme dans toutes les grandes villes mais l’hôtel n’y est pas rien.

Cons:

Pero parase ser que por tema de limpieza o la ropa de cama después de 7 dias de haber dejado el hotel aun tengo ronchas en el cuerpo. Favor de verificar ese detalle.
