Loved most of it, the only complaint is the parking is expensive for not being on site, but not too bad, across the street, underground.

What a unique little gem of a property! The rooms are small, but clean and well-decorated. The self-check in kiosk with a virtual desk clerk was new to me, but check in went very smoothly.

#GoldenHour at Corral Creek Beach in Malibu.
On this evening the sky was truly spectacular, the photo is unedited and doesn't have any filters, but standing there watching this was mesmerizing.
It must be the way the Malibu coastline curves and the light hits it differently than other beaches along LA. For moments of serenity or romance head out to Malibu :)

Great place for a short hike to the medicine wheel which is fun to see. Much cooler are all the rock formations that Are amazing to see. Best to go during the week as it is not so busy but if weekend is the only time then go early or late. Very busy :-)
