Normal check-out time.

I had to leave the keys at the drop box outside the front desk this AM as there was no attendant there at 8:40AM. *I understand that I will not be charged for a "late check-out". I will like to see my $25.00 retainer fee refunded back to my credit card. Thanks! Alberto Stevans Cell: 323-804-8111 alberto.stevans@sbcglobal.net

Nice Place

Check in fast and easy, staff was friendly and accommodating. Priced as it should be. Told them I had quite a bit of stuff, golf bag, cooler, blah blah, they gave me a room I could back right up to. Room was clean, a bit dated. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, and shower pressure was very good. Pool area was nice, with misters. It was 124 degrees one day, the room AC was great!! The wallpaper on one was great too! Check out super easy and fast! I don’t know why I’ve avoided staying here.
