The place is exactly as described and the best part was the easy convenient check-in. I loved the self check-in process, this made it easy to arrive on our own schedule. The place is very clean and has wonderful toiletries. The area is in a great walkable area near many restaurants and little Japantown. Supermarkets and gas stations are also close by and if you don't have a car, the bus on Santa Monica Blvd will take you directly to the beach - or Beverly Hills, Silverlake etc... I recommend this place for anyone looking to be in the heart of the westside.
