Constant buzzing noise from the elevator room every time a person used the elevator. I was on an entirely different floor, several rooms away, yet the noise was so loud it permeated the entire building. They apparently already knew about it it didn't care to fix it.

Best kept secret!

First stay….pleasantly surprised at the ambiance …..personnel …..and especially the bar/ restaurant! Best bang for your buck! Even complimentary cookies , scones, coffee offered sporadically. On my “ go to” getaway list. Overnight parking fee is required…..perhaps a discount for a long stay ( 6 nights?) would bel appreciated. Very centrally located to airport, beach & all freeways.

It was fine for what we needed, staff was nice. Decent location. probably won’t stay again. Biggest drawbacks: Noisy A/C, one of those old window units. Was very loud as it kept kicking on during the night. The whole hotel and rooms smell like cleaning solution and a little stale. Needs to be updated.
