The Staf, and in particular the front desk lady who checked me in, were outstanding. So friendly and authentic. We were given a little treat bag which was nice and I loved the fires. Sitting around the fire at night is so wonderful. This is not a fancy property and maybe the furniture and the fabric blinds were a little worn but the location was great and we really enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

You know you have found a gem when you walk into your room and it is spotless and utilitarian, with a spacious tiled shower. You walk 100 feet outside your room and your smack in the middle of some of the best bakeries, bars and restaurants in LA. What’s not to like?

This was an old school motel- modernized without messing with the integrity of the style and beautifully maintained. No modern type amenities per se, but they did have a fridge, air, and if you needed, ice or water- the staff gave it to you. They also brought coffee if you asked! Parking on the premises and free. Plenty of restaurants up and down Main St including a coffee/bakery on the premises . The best part was it was 2 short blocks to the beach!!! Worth every penny! We walked everywhere!

We didn’t stay long. It was only for a nights sleep, but both interactions with checking in and checking out were easy and the two guys were friendly. Great location. It’s right on one of the main strips so if you need quiet at night, do not stay here. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Parking was very snug but safe.
