They charged me 3 days parking for 2 nights . No privacy in the bathroom, Called twice about the charge and still waiting for a refund. This was our fourth year staying there and will be the last.! I think I got screwed on the parking!

Very cute little hotel across the street from the Farmer's Market and The Grove. We walked to the LACMA, Peterson, Academy of Motion Pictures, and La Brea Tar Pits. I wish there were breakfast and lunch options. The restaurant was open air and unusable when it rained, which it did. A microwave in the room would have been appreciated.

This hotel was beautiful! The staff were so friendly, and the hotel was super clean, with a lot of character. The location was perfect, while only being a short walk across the street from The Grove. We would definitely stay here again:)

Enjoyed everything. Unfortunately, many of the amenities are outside: the courtyard, the swimming pool. It poured throughout our stay so we weren’t able to take advantage of them.
