The breakfast experience was horrible, cold eggs, and limited selection. Power didn’t work in the kitchenette area but eventually did work. The shower curtain is too short and water gets everywhere. (Nice shower head) Very spacious room.

Pros: The hotel is in a good location. The staff were very nice and they offer a decent breakfast. We were evacuated from the Palisades fire and stayed there for 5 nights with our dog and the price was very reasonable. Cons: The room was large and came with a kitchenette but it had nothing to cook with. The property had been recently remodeled but the workmanship was poor and there are unfinished areas on the property.
