Yes, its true, the property is old and desperately in need of an update, but my stay was great. The room was clean, the bedding comfortable, the staff was amazing, interqcted mostly with Cybthia at the front and she was very knowledgeable, courteous and service oriented. I get that some people go into an establishment looking for a resson to complain, but i have no reason to regarding this property. Oh, and free parking...in an L.A. area hotel... totally unheard of!!!
