I had never stayed in the southern part of Cali and was pleasantly surprised to find this area is lush, green, full of large houses and close to two shopping malls and numerous restaurants. The hotel itself is a converted large house in a very quiet area and the rooms are mini-apartments complete with living room, small kitchen, bedroom and bath and mine had a large balcony. There is also a pool, nice garden area and breakfast is included. The only down side during my stay was a very weak and difficult to connect internet connection.
