We stayed here for two weeks in the spring of 2012. The area surrounding the hotel at first looks a little sketchy, however looks can be decieving, especially if you're not familiar with LA. This hotel is great. It has a gated parking lot, a secluded beautiful pool, and a very nice breakfat buffet. The rooms were small, but very nice. The area is more than I could hope for. It's very close to hiking trails in the Hills, great authentic restaurants, area attractions, and even the subway if you chooce not to drive downtown. We booked this hotel because it was close to a friend, but we definately return for the reasons I listed above. It has some real beauty within it's lower level, the back fountains and pool, and the mid atrium is secluded and relaxing. Trust me, it's worth the extra $20 you would spend elsewhere anywhere else in the area.
