Never being to Cali I was thrilled when I got to the hotel and was greeted with smiling faces and a friendly staff. They upgraded my room to my requests, and I was able to kick my feet back for 5 nights In a nice room with a balcony. As I work in the hospitality industry, I feel good service can sometimes seem hard to come by ( Actual good service ). But the staff at the hotel were amazing. Julie at the desk was super nice, and did a great job at helping with places to go in the area. She defiantly knows what it means to work in this industry. The courtyard / pool area was clean and relaxing. And overall I had a great experience at the hotel. Good job to everyone for maintaining a great culture through the transition from a Marriott to a Hilton property. « less

Fairly good hotel for the value. Was clean. Was a little noisy in the early A.M due to delivery trucks in the back parking lot. The hotel abuts a shopping plaza. Housekeeping failed to leave us coffee on one of the mornings. Nor did they provide us with glasses on the final day. We were told to go to the lobby if we wanted coffee. By the time my husband brought the coffee back to the 5th floor, it was getting cold. Otherwise the MDR was a satisfactory hotel. « less

I was thoroughly disappointed in the parking fee and the fact that they are now charging to use the bicycles. This had always been free with the hotel room. The room charges I believe have gone up and extra charges for the parking and bikes puts this facility out of financial range for me, for what you get. « less

We sincerely appreciate your review of our hotel and understand some of your concerns. We did install parking fees recently, however the hotel has always charged for bike rental. Perhaps there was a promotion of some kind in the past.
However, we did recently unveil 20 new Fuji Custom Cruizers, which are the King of Beach cruisers in California, so our equipment is substantially improved over the previous selection of bikes. This is a very popular amenity in this area with such great coastline to explore.
We do hope that you will have the opportunity to stay with us again. Our guest rooms were fully renovated a year ago and we are preparing for a $6 mil lobby and Food & Beverage transformation that will truly be spectacular.
Again, thank you for sharing your experiences.

After working hard for the last few years it was time for a "stop and smell the roses" week. We stayed 5 nights in this Hotel and even before I arrived I upgraded my room on the 4th floor to a room with immediate access to the courtyard and pool area. It was definitely worth it!
Positive; distance from LAX, beach and Hollywood/ Beverly Hills, quick access to freeway, multiple shopping centres nearby, breakfast buffet and most staff was very friendly but a few of them are definitely not suitable in the hotel/tourist industry. Overall the hotel including the pool and hot tub area was very clean and the rooms were nice but nothing special. You can rent bicycles from the hotel for a reasonable price.
Negative; A bit overpriced, payed parking area (15 dollars each night) very little information in the room about the hotel and it's services, and my children who stayed on the 4th floor were not impressed with room services on their check out day that came knocking at their door at 8 AM even when check out is at noon and they had the " do not disturbed" sign on the door.
Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel for your short or long stay. I most likely will be back in a few months when that "stop and smell the roses" feeling is popping up again! :) « less

I would like to stay once the hotel is up and fully functioning. Right now there is no room service as they are in the process of converting to a Doubletree from a Courtyard Marriott (I think). The hotel staff was more than accommodating and that I truly appreciate. This was a last minute reservation for one nights stay, so it was okay. As a long time Hilton Honors member, I stay at many Doubletree hotels for work and and this one is in its infancy stage right now. I look forward to your continued improvement. « less
