10/10 Excellent
"The location of Bellanca is super convenient yet not in the busier area on Crescent. We used the free bikes twice to ride the beautiful route to Descanso beach club. The rooftop was nice for watching the sun set. The only negative is that the room carpet felt like it could use a good cleaning. We would stay again."
