The property was in a great location. The restaurant was easy & good food options. The room itself was fine, seemed to be missing some furniture (odd open space). The bathroom was tiny & there weren’t any hand towels - very odd all the way around. Staff was hit or miss. The parking fee was OUTRAGEOUS

We've been here a few time already and it has been our home away from home when we want to stay out in Los Angeles. We love all the amenities and convenient short walk to the grocery store and walk able to restaurants and attractions. Our suite however had minor details that isn't a big deal but I noticed. The bathroom drawer did slide out of it"s railing and I thought it was going to fall, the microwave door got stuck, there was no coffee for the coffee maker, but I called and it was brought up quickly, 3 forks, no cutting board and no bigger pan to cook on. Maybe the kitchen should also be equipped with scissors and a can opener? Again no big deal. We will always choose this location to stay but that was just minor details I noticed.
