Pros:
Cons: Front desk staff was polite but not very friendly. They never mentioned the time the pool was open or if there was any gym or anything. The bell at check in wasn't very friendly but at check-out was helpful and friendly (I wish I had asked his name- around 10:15am on 6/14). I booked the room for 1 adult and 2 children but had to ask for a third towel the two days of my stay. Bathroom light was not great. And the light in the magnifying mirror was not working :-(. Although it seemed like they were updating the room, the bathroom wall seemed a little stained. Went to the pool around 6:30pm. No staff at all. Had to look around for towels. Don't know if I would stay here again.

Pros:
Cons: It is overrated . No good value for money. The rooms were very tired and not nice . The public space is not nice either. I would never have booked this room for the rate we paid. I could have gone into a cheaper hotel half that money I paid which was 277 dollars and is not worth more than 150!

Pros: The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. While the hotel is a little dated, it is obviously well maintained by the staff. The staff, from the valet driver to housekeeping make this hotel worth staying at. Everyone we had contact with was amazing.
Cons: I absolutely love the courtyard and pool. This made the hotel awesome. It was very unique. The only problem was the pool was an absolutely gorgeous blue tile that was extremely slippery. My brother-in-law slipped on the first step and hit his back and side against the edge of the pool causing bruises. We checked the steps after and found there was nothing done to add slip proof material to the pool steps. Very beautiful but step cautiously!

Pros: We only stayed one night but it was a very quick, friendly check-in process. The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms. It was well-decorated and trendy looking, but super quiet and perfect for our stay.
Cons: I wish the valet parking would have been included in the room rate - you had to pay an extra $15 and there was no self-park option.

Pros: Staff was friendly and hotel is clean.
Cons: Gym doesn't open until 10am because it's too close to other rooms I honestly have never heard of that at a hotel. I can't work out in the morning because of other hotel guests! I rented a car for a day and had to park one time. I returned the car the same day and still got charged an overnight valet fee. It's not the customers fault this place has no parking and overall feels like it's been peiced together. The breakfast buffet is 14.95. Really? Eggs and coffee For a family of 4 this is one expensive breakfast that's by the way not even that great. The room I got was a double bed. The problem is that the room is tiny. It shouldn't be so small and have two beds. Tv, shower, ac, everything is outdated and small.
I would prefer to not stay here again. I booked this one because I was visiting family who lived nearby. I now know there are updated options for a hotel nearby This place is solely running on its location but doesn't strive to be a great hotel. In other words either up the price and offer better amenities which I would gladly pay for, or stay the same and slowly lose customers every year.

Cons: The ability to boil a cup of hot water for a cup of tea would be great. Not being a coffee drinker there was no facilities for in room cups of tea/hot chocolate.

The staff at the front desk were incredibly helpful and friendly. The porter always there to help load or unload your bags.
Cons: Wish they had a microwave in the room, cutlery and 2 plates for those people who wanted to eat a simple breakfast in their room without having to get dressed first as this would make their mornings more leisurely. Also when a tourist has been out all day and arrives home late and just wants a light snack in their room .

Cons: There honestly was not a whole lot that I did not like. If I had to pick something it would be the pillows. I personally do not like the feather pillows, they give me neck issues. My husband and I had a short trip, so they were something I could deal with.

Only 10 mins drive from Manhattan Beach which is beautiful and huge. Lots of restaurants to choose from around the beach and shopping area.
Cons: Perhaps not quite to the high quality that the photos suggest and not within walking distance of beach or restaurants.
