Got a great deal through Expedia for 2 night stay. Suited us fine , free airport shuttle, free WIFI, Ralph's supermarket next door, and easy access to eateries and bus transport. Lovely spacious, modern room,on third floor, bit of noise from pool party till about 10.30pm, otherwise just great. Would thoroughly recommend it.

We stayed at this hotel the night before we were due to fly home. The rooms were large and spacy and the bathroom was very comfortable too. The hotel is equipped with a gym, pool and outdoor sun baking area as well as a restaurant. We had breakfast at the restaurant which I thought was pretty mediocre. It was only... More

What a pleasant surprise to find this little gem of a hotel in Los Angeles. Located close to LAX, but far enough away to be peaceful, this remodeled hotel is adjacent to Marina del Rey and Playa Vista. The decor is modern, minimalist and fresh and the service is great. But this hotel should be considered for a short stay,... More

I had stayed 4 separate times in one month here-- yet was treated worse than a felon by the hotel staff and mgmt on my most recent visit. A simple situation was elevated to grossly inappropriate levels by the staff, when their own ineptitude was the main component of the problem. Customer service here is practically non existent, beyond the... More

I can see why this hotel has mixed reviews. If you are looking for a traditional 3.5 star hotel (Marriott, Hyatt, etc.) this is not it. If you are the adventurous type, this "modern/ graphic chic" (did I just make that up?) hotel will not bore you. It is conveniently located on PCH near LAX (though I heard no airplanes-bonus!),...

We only stayed one night before heading out, but enjoyed our stay. It seemed nicer and at a better price compared to others we had looked at. It's obviously an older hotel that's been renovated but they did a nice job in modernizing the lobby, outdoor space and rooms. The pool area and fire pit were nice touches. The room... More
