From Santa Barbara to San Diego; from Santa Monica to Indio, when I visit Southern California, I expect the hotel pool to be open unless the outdoor temperature is below 70F degrees. The hotel's pool was inexplicably closed (no reason given), with an opening date in August. There was no shampoo in the room, and I needed to leave a note for housekeeping twice for the staff to add more. Some ***** woke me up at 1:34am talking and playing loud vulgar music right outside my room. Happily, their stay was brief. My bathroom ceiling leaked for about 10 minutes one evening. Wifi was weak and did not support video. The location is great: barely a 12-minute bus ride to Disneyland; a 90-minute bus ride to John Wayne Airport (2 busses); and a 110-minute bus ride to Newport Beach. Starbucks and Carl's Jr. are a 2-minute walk down the street.
