We were looking forward to our stay at the Creative Suite but unfortunately left a bit disappointed. The suite sits on a rambling estate of strange-looking cabins and it's actually attached to the main house which is an elaborate, ramshackle structure. Although there were several cars parked around, the whole place had an eerily deserted vibe when we arrived. We weren't quite sure which was the entrance to the suite but after reading the instructions carefully we were able to figure it out. As we approached we saw a woman making her way out of the suite (after perhaps dropping off towels?) but she quickly disappeared into the main house without even acknowledging our presence. A bit of a disconcerting and decidedly unfriendly welcome.
The space itself is basic but has all the necessities, the bed is especially comfortable. However the floor was quite dirty and looked like it hadn't been swept or mopped in a while and the bath mat in the bathroom was damp and quite grungy.
However the worst part of our stay was the noise from the main house right above our heads that went on to past 1am. We could hear conversations and laughter as if they were in the bedroom with us. It definitely didn't feel private and took away from the experience of being in the rustic environment of Topanga we were expecting.
