Some Good, Some Not-so-good
This facility is located on Sepulveda Blvd., about a 1-1/2 blocks south of Pico, so it is conveniently located near the 10/405 interchange. The buildings (there are two or three) appear to be well-maintained, if a little worn. It's not a scenic location, but the hotel apparently backs up to a residential area. The parking is free, but you must use the valet. Check-in went fine, with a little help from the manager. While I was not expecting it, my room was a 2-queen suite, located on the back side of the middle building. The main room has the two queen beds, a desk at the front, a dresser and side table between the beds. It is a little on the small side. It does have TWO closets, one of which is relatively deep, with two hanger rods. The living room is located through a door at the back of the bedroom. It has a convertible sofa (actually more of a love seat that converts into a twin bed), coffee table, a chair and a dresser that includes a small refrigerator and microwave. There is a sliding glass door in the living room that leads to a small balcony that has two plastic chairs and a small table. There are flatscreen TVs in both rooms. Oddly, there is a VCR player next to the TV in the living room. The bathroom is small with very little counter space. This particular room (312) has no bath tub, just a shower (fine with me). It appears that the faucet and shower valve/head have been recently replaced. There are plenty of towels and toiletries. The wireless internet access worked well. The bed was comfortable and since I was on the back side of the building, it was relatively quiet, even with the window and sliding glass door opened. I had to leave early, so I did not have a chance to try the continental breakfast. While there was sleeping for five people in this room, it would feel a little crowded with more than three people, even with the second room. I walked to a restaurant located on Pico for dinner, and when I came back I wanted to get some things out of my truck. There was no valet (a little after 8 pm) and the desk clerk took a while to figure out where my vehicle was. When I went to check out, I was unable to get a receipt because the person at the front desk was new to the facility, and did not know the password to get onto their system. Overall, I was satisfied. The room was fine and the staff was friendly, if a little disorganized.
