Pros:
- good location as others have mentioned, the bar downstairs is actually very good fun
- despite being described as a budget location, there were a lot of amenities such as a kettle (which we couldn’t work out how to ignite the stove, but that may have been our error), and tea/coffee, as well as a multipurpose small table with two chairs
- main bed was very big
Cons:
- as two girls travelling between a few different hotels/airbnbs around south california, we did not need much other than a clean place to stay. Unfortunately the photos are not accurate and we did not feel comfortable
- we were expecting basic cleanliness, however bedsheets had marks/stains, kitchen had broken cabinets, dust in corners of the room and mold in the bathroom
Other things to mention not affecting this review but useful to note:
- no elevators but stairs were fine for us even with two big suitcases
- parking offered but we didn’t use it in the end
Ultimately, we did not feel comfortable sleeping the bed, and ended up leaving around an hour after check in to pay for another hotel nearby which did not cost much more per night. We would not stay again. This may be more suited for people who require a good location and some space but maybe less concerned about cleanliness over practicality.
