The hotel is conveniently located in the LA area, not too far from the beach and nestled in the mountains. Everything is priced on the higher side. The rooms are cleaned with no fresh towels, and the water tends to be very warm, but still comfortable overall. The service is good, but there's an additional charge for laundry. A mix of industrial/commercial areas and natural beauty surrounds the location.

The hotel is nestled among the lush bushes in Pacific beach, offering a cozy retreat in the mountains. Everything in the LA area tends to be on the pricier side. The rooms are cleaned efficiently, although fresh towels were lacking, and the water temperature was too warm. While the service was good, laundry facilities could enhance the overall experience.

The hotel is conveniently located close to two different popular beaches and offers a comfortable stay with friendly service. However, the absence of fresh towels and very warm water in the rooms could be improved. The laundry service adds convenience to the overall experience.

This hotel is a mixed bag - the rooms are clean but lacking fresh towels and very warm water. The service, however, was a bit hit or miss. The location is decent, not too close to the beach but convenient to most places. While the facilities were up to standard, there were some shortcomings.

I stayed at this hotel during my trip, and overall, it was a decent experience. The rooms were clean but lacked fresh towels, and the water in the showers was a bit too warm for my liking. The service was good, and they offered laundry options, which was convenient. The location, while near Pacific beach, was in an industrial/commercial area, not as close to the beach as I had hoped. However, the hotel had fast food options nearby. The facilities were fine, but there were some mixed feelings about the price and value for money.

The hotel is nestled in a quaint mountain setting, not too far from the beach, in an industrial/commercial area. The rooms were meticulously cleaned, although fresh towels were lacking, and the warm water added a cozy touch to the stay. The service provided, including laundry assistance, was satisfactory. While the location wasn't ideal for beach lovers, it offered a unique charm for those looking to explore the nearby mountains. The dining experience lacked variety but did include a selection of local cold cuts. The facilities were adequate in this peaceful getaway.

The hotel is conveniently located near two popular beaches and not too far from the beach, nestled in a tranquil bush setting. The rooms are cozy and clean, but there were no fresh towels available during our stay. The service was attentive, and the laundry service was a helpful touch.

The hotel is nestled in the mountains, offering a unique experience for nature lovers, but it is located in an industrial/commercial area, which might not be ideal for those seeking a more scenic setting. The establishment is not close to the beach but offers proximity to Pacific beach. The price is reasonable, and the Wi-Fi is included in the room rate.
