Categories

Cleanliness
8.9
Frequently praised as very clean with thoughtful in-room touches and no pet odor; isolated issues reported (carpet smell/odd odors, a broken sink drain, occasional hallway noise) that reduce a perfect score.
Service
8.6
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and welcoming (including Honors recognition and prompt responses), but there are notable inconsistencies (missed amenities, cleaning staff knocking despite requests, and poor treatment on a returning stay).
Location
9
Multiple guests called the location ideal and convenient for LA/Orange County and nearby places; clear positive consensus on accessibility and positioning.
Room Quality
8
Many rooms described as beautiful with high-end pillows, full-length mirrors, good views and floor-to-ceiling windows; however some rooms lacked expected amenities (robe, microwave), had non-functional equipment (phone/alarm) or questionable carpet.
Amenities
8
Good on-site amenities noted (warm cookies, bar, little shop/convenience store, pool, secure WiFi), but complaints include limited EV chargers, ice machines down, no in-room microwave, and paid parking friction.
Value for Money
7.2
Several guests felt the property was overpriced or low value for money, with recurring dissatisfaction around unexpected/paid parking and a perception that price did not always match experience.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Breakfast and complimentary cookies received consistent praise and were seen as strong positives; some confusion about whether breakfast was included and isolated service gaps around F&B availability (ice machine).
Overall Experience
8.9
Overall stays skew positive with clean rooms, helpful staff and good amenities leading to strong experiences for many guests; however, inconsistent experiences (notably one poor second-night stay) and fees lower uniformity.

Over priced low value
Cons:

Parking was a hidden fee that was never mentioned. Asked for 2 pairs of slippers but never came. Cleaning crew knocked on door 3 times to try to clean room even though we asked them no need on the 1st time.

Great first night, unacceptable second night—won't return
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

My first night here was wonderful—clean room, stellar service, and proper recognition as a Hilton Honors member. In fact, the hospitality was so good that I intentionally chose to return for a second night over cheaper local options. When checking in the second night, I told the front desk how much I appreciated my first stay and asked if that same room might be available.

Instead of welcoming me back, I was treated like a walk-in stranger, and the system showed me as a nobody. I was assigned a substandard room with non-functional equipment (phone and alarm clock), missing amenities (no robe), and carpet so questionable I had to keep shoes on the entire time.

The severe inconsistency in service and room quality is unacceptable. I won't be staying at this property again.

Warm staff and beautiful room - and super quiet - at least my location! I was there for my Mother’s funeral, so having a
Pros:

All of the little touches in the room that most people would not notice, like having q-tips and a make-up remover towelette on the counter, extremely high end pillows and cases, a full length mirror in the bedroom and their COOKIES! It was extremely clean and no PET odor! I LOVE this property!

Cons:

Having to pay for parking!

Pros:

가성비가 좋고, 조식이 훌륭했다. 위치도 아주 좋다.

Cons:

이머전시 벨이 몇차례 울려서 계단으로 아이들과 함께 갑작스럽게 내려가야했다. 물론 안전이 제일 중요한 것이지만 내려갔을 때마다 잘못된 벨이었다. 미국에 온지 첫날이었는데 너무 놀랬고, 안내가 제대로 이루어지지 않았다.
