A lovely hotel about 3hours from LAX for an one night 2 day stopover in LA. A treat for our last night of holidays. And wasn't it a treat. Hired a car, and arrived to Valet parking (extra), a beautiful comfortable room, and the most friendliest Hotel and Restaurant staff I have ever experienced. Sadly the weather wasn't in our favour, so swimming and hopping in spa wasn't on our list, but it didn't stop others as it was heated. The food, views, staff and decore at the Marisol Restaurant was sensational. There is an ocean walk path to enjoy as well.

This is a beautiful hotel! The rooms were exceptionally clean and the room we got allocated was really large with a lovely outdoor seating area in the front. You couldn't get closer to the beach, the parking was very handy too. The bar is also in the perfect spot for an evening drink with the fire pits too

San Francisco is one of the most unique cities in the world!! The Golden Gate Bridge is breathtaking! We enjoyed more than in the past. Uber and Waymo have made it so easy to get around the city without having to drive. Very well maintained and has such an exciting vibe. Everyone should visit this city at least once in their lifetime.

Anaheim

Disneyland was great but the walk to get there I was hurrassed by the homeless people asking questions and generally it was frightening. I am an older woman of 60 and frankly it scarred me to have to walk even across the street to get there. I will choose a different Disney location next time I go on a Disney Vacation. California clearly has issues with how to take care of its homeless population. I saw human fecies on the ground next to the side walk coming into the Disneyland location and several homeless called out to people walking past. Disney needs security out side its park for three blocks in every direction and to have them start work at 6 AM as well as a crew to clean up human waist around the area for us to not see this terrible issue least an hour before their security opens would be the best way for us to not be effected by this issue.

Palm Springs

Palm Springs is usually 2.5 hour drive from LA but can take longer as the freeways get VERY busy. Downtown has many bars, restaurants and clothing shops. There are two museums both worth a visit especially the Agua Caliente museum which tells the story of the original inhabitants, the Ague Caliente tribe. Walks in the two canyons, Indian Canyons & Tarquitz Canyon are excellent as is the Aerial Tramway. If you enjoy a thrift store/charity shop there are plenty of them and prices, although they have gone up are quite reasonable. Eating out whether its fast food or sit down restaurant can be quite pricy.

Monterey

This was a great selection due to location to beach and town. We were only there for one night, however, we could have stayed a few days. The decor, staff, rooms and views were spectacular. We went to Carmel and did the 17 mile drive which is close to this location. The hotel offers a lounge bar, a coffee shop and restaurant. The ambience for the lobby is so welcoming and you can sit by the large window facing the ocean and read a good book. Beautiful hotel!

Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara was so beautiful, relaxed, laid back and quiet (late October). We absolutely fell in love with the place and the people. Everywhere we went people were friendly and helpful. We also loved the seafood, ice cream, wildlife, especially the birds, architecture, vegetation, Farmers Market (Tuesday?) and the Pacific Skyliner. We visited the Council House, Mission and Botanic Gardens and also enjoyed the Trolley tour but mostly we enjoyed strolling along the seafront, past the Marina to Brophy's and along the Wharf to the Seafood Company (service and food exemplary) and Ice cream parlour - seeing the Pelicans, herons, humming birds, seals and even a racoon on one occasion!

Buena Park

we were there for knott berry farm, everything was fine for Buena Park, just the theme park itself. With the amount we spent for the day time park and the night time park, it was not worth it. the daytime wait line was a minimum of 1hr to 1.5hr for rides, that is probably the usual everywhere. However, for knott scary farm, the line at night was crazy, people shoving and pushing during the opening. And with children, some adult just don't have respect. 2hr wait line for hunted house and rides, jam packed, not a lot of lighting to see who and where families are walking into. They could had done something about limiting people during the night hrs for safeties and so everyone can enjoy the park instead of standing/sitting in line
