Great experience as usual in this hotel. Have been here a few times and I can't remember any negative issue. Especially Derek is a great guy and is an example of any hotel staff member. He knows how to treat customers with exceptional service and a big smile.

The room was very clean and tidy when I walked in to check. The pillows and the bed was so soft and fluffy. I was here for a night while waiting for my connecting flight but I has an amazing experience. Derek at the front desk was so helpful and make the checkout process smooth and easy.

We spent five wonderful days at our hockey tournament. Our time with the hockey team and families was fantastic, and everything exceeded our expectations - clean, friendly, fun, with a kind staff. The delicious breakfast each morning was a delightful touch. Relaxing by the pool and hot tub every night made it even more enjoyable. Overall, one of the best experiences I've ever had. Thank you for your outstanding Hospitality!

Wow. I was/am still surprised about the quality and service of the place - CONSIDERING the price! just the room size alone was positively suprising. Breakfast was good considering it was complimentary. Pool and fitness amenities are also very clean and modern. The whole place is well kept and in shape. Shuttles can be ordered to LAX and get you there within 15 mins. Really good experience. Wholeheartedly recommend.
