"Lovely third floor terrace to relax with a snack or breakfast with a view"

Exceptional

The staff was amazing! Breakfast muffins and coffee delicious! Best shower in California!

There was parking but it was difficult to find because first you need a key to enter and second it is behind the building. However, there is parking!!! Second thing is you need to pack lightly as there isn’t an elevator so you need to carry your bags up!
