The lobby was fine. As we were checking in we were informed that we had to pay to park. There was no parking lot since the recent storm so we had to park in front of our room 1/2 way on the sidewalk.
I thought the room was bad until I was FaceTiming a friend. She asked me if I was allowed to have a phone in jail. I told her I was in a hotel. She said it looks like a jail and I agree 100 percent. That was the perfect description. The dirty brass, filthy Venetian plaster, and the cement floors added to the jailhouse vibe. The road noise doesn’t help at all. The rooms are actually backed into the highway.
It looks like the designer was going for a chic and cool beach pad feel. Instead it is cheap and cold. There are no real amenities in the room but a mini bar I paid $16.50 for chips and a coke.
I wish we would have stayed over the hill in Calabasas.
