Stuff You Should Know

The pool is smaller than expected for Los Angeles. Some rooms are outdated, but are slowly being updated (we’ll get you into the refurbished ones). Ocean-facing rooms are a must if you want any beach view, as the hotel is set back one block with some road noise. Pet-friendly, but the pet fee is $125 per stay. Parking costs $55/night before taxes.
