The surrounding area is safe. I grew up in Chatsworth! There are many outside fast food options as well as restaurants. I took advantage of breakfast every morning. The dining area was quaint. The children in the pool and hot tub can be obnoxious. No reflection of the hotel. The grounds are highly maintained. The best part it is dog friendly. Thank you so much, especially Ria at the front desk🌷

Honestly, this place was a letdown. The moment we walked into our first room on the 2nd floor, there was a spider just sitting on the wall like it owned the place. Not exactly the welcome you expect. The next morning made it worse—the shower water was ice cold and stayed that way. No hot water at all. We had to switch rooms because of it. So they move us to the 10th floor, and somehow it gets worse. The light switch in the room didn’t even work. Like… how is that even acceptable? And to top it off, the valet situation was weird. The guy working nights (bald guy) gave off a really uncomfortable vibe. Just didn’t feel right at all. Overall, this hotel is mid at best. Definitely not 5-star like it tries to be. Too many basic issues that shouldn’t even be happening. I wouldn’t stay here again when I come back to LA—there are way better options for the price. The valet parking is also expensive, at $75 per day

Overall the hotel was great. The barn door style for the bathroom was not very private for our family. And the restaurant was closed during our stay, though we were not aware that would be the case. Great to have a quiet oasis with personality.
