Dreams of burning to death

I was awaken by the smell of smoke. It was like being on the inside of a meat smoker. With all of the fires in LA I was certain that a fire had started locally. Went outside to see if I had to evacuate only to find that it was raining and no smoke hung in the outside area. After a half hour of making sure that I was safe by walking the property, I returned to bed with the fan blowing to clear the smoke from the room. The next morning I went to the office to alert the staff to find it was worse in the office. My room was next to the office. The morning desk person curtly told me that it was incense. Apparently she like to burn more sticks than a temple at Ankur Wat. Needless to say that poor sleep with dreams of being consumed in a blaze is not the experience that I was hoping for when I booked a stay at the hotel. Otherwise the hotel was OK

Friendly staff & clean room can’t ask for much more. Some highway noise but that’s a trade off that’s ok for it’s convenient location.

Hard to find parking. The restroom was located through uneven closet doors that didn’t shut correctly. The shower faucet leaked. The guests above our room were extremely loud! They stomped around the room and had loud intercourse. This hotel is horrible. I do not recommend for families with young children to stay here!! The worst hotel I ever stayed in!
