Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Pros: The hotel is in a good location. The staff were very nice and they offer a decent breakfast. We were evacuated from the Palisades fire and stayed there for 5 nights with our dog and the price was very reasonable. Cons: The room was large and came with a kitchenette but it had nothing to cook with. The property had been recently remodeled but the workmanship was poor and there are unfinished areas on the property.

Check in took less than 2-minutes. Room was clean, shower/tub had stationary and hand held heads. Free Breakfast was hot, plentiful, and with a spacious dining room. Property had some construction upgrades in progress but it did not detract in any way from a positive stay. Staff is very customer friendly.
