A lot of stuff was broken, like the fan in the room. This would not have been a massive problem, except this hotel does not have AC. Using out-of-room restrooms was not as big a deal as expected, they were almost never full.

Stayed second floor of the main building. Interesting that the front desk is purely remote. Worked fine for me as I had no issues that required their assistance. A bit outdated room, but decent and clean. Walls and doors are thin and you can hear your neighbors talking and outside in the hall too. Good location to most of the LA area. Good parking. An overall average location.

"The lobby, fireplaces and gym were nice and the dining options were good. The room we stayed in was dusty. The balcony gate was damaged so our little one couldn't be there unsupervised.
