Auberges à Los Angeles

Hotel is right on the boardwalk with very nice restaurant (voucher for 1/2 price breakfast0 on 1st floor for people watching and of course the beach and ocean. We were upgraded to an ocean view room (no. 12) which was very nice with small living room, kitchenette, and wonderful queen bed. Parking was only about 150 feet to south (overnight $25). Kyle (manager) and Jose (who checked us in) were gracious and made sure we had what we needed. We even got a temporary parking by hotel after we checked out. Rented bicycles only 3 doors away; basically well situated to beach activities, dining, and not too far from Santa Monica pier. We liked everything, but would caution that there is no elevator. While there is a halfway house across the alley, we had no issues nor did we see anything untoward. The real spectacle is on boardwalk.

It was located within walking distance to Universal Studios and a few restaurants. The owners were very charming and hospitable. The room and bed was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast had a few things to choose from including eggs made to order. We would definitely stay here again!

The willingness of the staff to move us to another room due to a minor plumbing issue.

Location was ok, pool was nice, staff was great. Room didn't get cleaned until after 5:30pm. Price was pretty high for what you get. Although Hollywood apparently means automatically charge $100 more than what place is worth.
