10/10 Excellent
"Right on Pacific Coast Hwy, across from Doheny Park. The back of hotel has a giant mural. My room is relatively big; has a separate living area with sofa bed and a TV, then a king sized bed area with access to single bath, its separate TV, and a balcony with view of the highway. Facility not the newest, but everything is functional, properly stored/cleaned. The bathroom even has a tub/shower slider chair for people with less physical means. We had a comfortable sleep both in king sized bed and the sofa bed (the latter was a surprise). Breakfast was good, it even has a machine that can make various type of coffees and hot drinks. Overall, a very happy stay for me and my kids. Would highly recommend."
