Bungalow Heaven Holidays from AU$1,332

Was an older hotel but it was great and in walking distance from the park

Close to UCLA. Free parking! Clean, updated rooms. Complimentary coffee, yogurt, cereal and bagels for breakfast. Room with double/queen beds were larger than most small hotel rooms. Great to have a small kitchenette with a sink, microwave & small fridge. Lots of lighting - lamps and ceiling lights. And, lots of mirrors, which really helps when 4 people are getting ready. 1 block from Trader Joe's, Target and Ralph's grocery store.

Customer service was good. The bed was a little hard. Nice clean place to stay.

Clean room. No one was super friendly or helpful. No pool access and too much if an inconvenience to us and the staff to go next door. Motel is dated. Walls paper thin. Could hear everyone walking- upstairs, outside, etc. we were in the back corner, right by stairs, elevator, and ice maker. Ice maker was going off loudly until midnight each night as people got ice. Then at 7am, maid service was rolling their carts out down the walkway. Third floor so it was pretty loud. It was clean though.

We booked a Casita room for a 3 day weekend for our last trip before we have our first baby. I didn’t put any notes or anything on what we were there for, but when we checked in we were informed we had been upgraded to an oceanfront suite. We were blown away by this room. It was massive and had multiple balconies to sit on and enjoy the views. We ended up spending most of our time in the room because it was just the best. We did go to the adult pool and another quiet pool that were both very nice. Megan at the vista pool was great! We had breakfast at the Catalina kitchen a few times which was great. The room service was great. I do wish I had done a little more research and made reservations for the other restaurants on site as they were booked. Overall it was an amazing place and we were so thankful they upgraded us, we didn’t want to leave!
