I loved how minimalistic the hotel was. We felt comfortable staying there. The only thing I had an issue with was I didn’t know how to get into the hotel. I found out I needed to ring the buzzer for the garage and was able to get in that way.

READ BEFORE RESERVING: IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION. The place is immaculate and beautiful. The biggest issue is that through Expedia they don’t tell you need to reserve a parking spot at their hotel and it wasn’t even an option on here. Luckily, the employee there was very helpful and let us know that we could over night park HALF A MILE A WAY. So that did suck, having to leave our car half a mile away and walk back to the hotel in 100° weather. Fortunately, they were accommodating at the front and let us leave our luggage in the lobby so we didn’t have to drag it half a mile in LA’s heat to check in and out. Also, when we got there, our room’s A/C was broken. By the grace of the gods, they were able to put us in another room since they weren’t booked out for the night. Great little place. Clean. Friendly and amazing staff. Coffee and pastries were good. Would stay here again if we’re able to reserve a parking spot as well.
