Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Street noise can be noticeable — Some guests mention loud street noise from Wilshire Boulevard, though earplugs are provided in rooms to help.
- Parking can be tricky — Although parking is free, a guest noted it can be tricky to find a spot, especially during peak times.
- Limited room types available — With only three room categories and a noted variation in bed configurations, larger groups may need to book the cottage or plan for extra space.
- No pets allowed — Despite one review mentioning a dog stay, the property policy clearly states no pets are permitted, which could be a dealbreaker for some travelers.
