This hotel was in the Circuit Zone so we were able to get free rides to local bars and restaurants from 4-10 pm each night via the Circuit App. The hotel was rundown and not great, but there were no bedbugs so that was a plus! This hotel is good for a one night stay to crash in - would not recommend for stays longer than a night or two.

Proper customer service would have made this place a 5 star review. Staff was ver serious, straight face and not welcoming. Another minus star is for not having a heated pool. It was ice cold! Like a cold plunge. Every pool I have stayed at is the LA area has been heated. Not happy.

Breakfast was an issue. Coffee was horrendous, no coffee pots just a machine that made many types of different "fancy" coffee drinks and took forever, but made terrible plain black coffee. Not only did the machine take forever and could only serve one person at a time, but people could not figure out how to use it. No coffee available any other place or time except at breakfast. Sugar filled flavored Yogurt dispensed from a machine which ran out two of the four days we were there. Same food every day except for Tuesday and Thursday when they served biscuits and gravy instead of oatmeal. Apparently there is only one crock pot so they had to alternate. The breakfast room only had about 20 seats and was attached to the gym and the pool so sweaty, wet people parade thru the breakfast area past those who were waiting on line for coffee and yogurt or sitting/standing trying to eat. The breakfast worker used the same rag to clean the tables and serving area and then picked up the milk dispensing thermos by the spout using that same filthy rag. There was only sugar yogurt and whole milk, no fat free, low fat or sugar free selections and no fruit except for tiny red delicious apples and a few small oranges daily. The same 3 sugar cereals served daily as well, nothing healthy. Scrambled eggs and sausage or biscuits and gravy, mini muffins, hostess apple pies and bagels or bread. When the only healthy choice is oatmeal why replace it with hot gravy for biscuits? That's not acceptable.

We arrived before regular check-in time and asked to drop off our luggage but our room was ready so they let us check in- so appreciated. The room was not overly big for our family but it was clean and the bathroom was large. It was clean. We walked from the hotel to the beach area - it was a nice walk and took about 30 minutes (walking with kids). The breakfast was good but the dining room was super tiny so it felt very cramped - some of our family we sat in the lobby instead and that was certainly a better option. The pool was really really small and freezing cold (it must not be heated), it didn’t appear very clean, our kids lasted about 5 minutes so that was disappointing considering we book that hotel over another one based on the pool. There is no hot tub. We ate at supper the restaurant across the street - it was really tasty. Overall it met our needs but was nothing amazing.
