The property is old and the exterior is not well maintained. The front desk service was very nice and we got a quick remedy to a TV problem. However, the rooms did not have mini-refrigerators despite cabinet space obviously intended for them, the blinds did not fully close, the location is noisy with jet traffic at adjacent Van Nuys airport, and neither the coffee bar or restaurant opened on Friday night or Saturday morning.
Upsides include ease of parking, spacious rooms and friendly staff, as well as many food options within 5-10 minutes. Acceptable and reasonably priced for a short stay.
