Los Angeles Zoo is 5 km from the motel. The nearest airport is Bob Hope Airport, 13 km from the property. We are having a round trip for our honeymoon and we have had our first night here. Therefore we left the hotel with a nice feeling. Now, after our second stay there, and having stayed at another 3-4 hotels around Nevada, Arizona and California, we can say that Sakura’s is the best option!! It is clean, in a good location near LA, it has all the facilities you need for a round trip (parking, laundry, vending machines, coffee/tea facilities…), staff is helpfull and kind, they ask all the questions with a smile… no words to explain how gratefull we are. Thank you all for making our experience a lovely one! Next time we visit LA, we’ll come back to Sakura for sure :)
