Pros: Staff were amazing, very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. Clean hotel, good location and very spacious room.

My stay here was amazing.

Pros: Very clean and the lounge area is welcoming and fun.

Great Stay. Convenient.

Pros: Loved the convenience of the lobby cafe/bar. Great location to stay after a concert at the Magnolia.

Cons: On performance nights at The Magnolia concert venue, the lobby bar should stay open another hour, particularly on a Friday or Saturday night.

Amazing staff, extremely clean and felt very safe traveling alone

Pros: This hotel and staff were amazing! They made me feel safe while traveling alone. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The food and drinks were great at the restaurant on site. 20 mins to the airport. Front desk staff member Megan and bartender Tamara were amazing! Great people and a great environment! First time in Cali and flew across country from NJ and I’ll definitely be back again. I felt very safe and the rooms were immaculate. What a wonderful experience! If you find this hidden gem make sure you tell Megan and Tamara I referred you! ~ Ashley from New Jersey
