Kelsey United States of America

Nice location and staff was very accommodating! The pool looked to be great but we didn't get out there. Rooms were very clean! Our room was small but just fine for 2 people.

Stephanie United States of America

Hotel is very cool - with a mid-century modern meets California chic vibe. The rooms were lovely as were the common spaces. The pool is a tad small but still nice. The hotel is in a perfect location - close to everything. The staff was wonderful. Every person we met from the front desk staff, to the valet, to the pool/bar staff the housekeeping were so friendly and helpful.

Cindy United States of America

Location, one block away from the market. The staff was amazing as well, we arrived right at check out time and just wanted to see if we could leave the car and walk a bit, they checked us right into our room on the spot. Valet service took the car and we didn't use it again until we left.
