The room was scratched up and dusty, and the bathroom door did not slide all the way closed. Staff was friendly.

The staff was exceptional, very friendly and accommodating. We stayed in a tack room. It wasn't as rustic as I expected, but still cutely decorated in an old-time farmhouse style. The courtyard looks like it would be a nice place to hang out and have a few drinks in the summertime.

5 out of 5

Loved it!

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing I can think of
Location: Great location
This was our first trip to LA so I was worried about the location but it was probably 20-30 minutes away from every place we planned on going. It was very clean and I felt safe staying there. I would definitely stay again
