The rooms have been refurbished but are obviously made with cheap items. Two hours on the day of check-in, the toilet was blocked. Sewage came out through the bathroom wall into the bedroom and ran under the bed. An old foreigner ran around for two hours at night to no avail. The front desk of the hotel was indifferent and didn't even say sorry... Strongly not recommended

I will never stay here again! So many issues, worst hotel stay I think I have had. The rooms are nicely updated, but nothing works! The hotel key card, safe, frig, etc were not working. Water in shower was lukewarm. Also they are on well water so sometimes the water is dark brown/reddish color. Disgusting. I could not brush my teeth! The worst thing is that they do not care at all when brought to their attention!

This hotel was absolutely darling! What a hidden gem. It was the perfect relaxing getaway after a few days in LA for a business trip. I was recovering from surgery and in a lot of pain, and just being on this property made me feel relief. I loved the friendliness of the staff, everyone was so kind and accommodating. The property was emasculate and peaceful, and the room was beautifully put together. It was so hard to leave the room at times to explore the town because it was so cozy!

Overall a good stay. We liked the hotel and cleanliness and would stay here again. Just some small stuff, like a room for 5 people and only 2 towel hooks, one hook coming off the wall. Didn’t have the room we booked (maintenance issue), but sorted things out rate wise which was fair to us. A bit noisy at times from other rooms (we were on first level) but nothing that kept us awake all night.

The hotel is very cute. I was nervous after reading a couple of bad reviews, but I would highly recommend this boutique hotel. I only have two recommendations. One is to request a room facing the pool. The street side is a little bit loud. The second would be not to prepay for breakfast at a cost of $60. We would have spent less just paying out of pocket. Otherwise the hotel is beautifully appointed and was prefect for our needs. The rooms are spacious and comfortable.
