Introduction Thought I'd follow up my original post on Choice with my experience on my actual staysI've never done one of these reviews on FT so bear with me. Overall on a scale of A-FBNo complaints overall. Check In It was 11 p.m. so no line and it was quick. A bit funky was actually getting into the lobby. We pulled into the garage and it was full so we followed it around to the outside parking in the back. There was a door to the lobby but you needed a key which we did not have yet. There was no buzzer to ring to let us in. So we had to walk around to the front to get in the lobby. Nothing major but having a buzzer would be nice with luggage.We were given the room we reserved (no status) which was a Family room. Upgrade, have no idea since I've never been here. Room I wish I had taken photos because this family room was much better than the one that we would get on our return trip. There is one entrance. You walk into a large room with 2 Queen beds, a sofa, coffee table, and bureau with a ~42 ish flat screen. Toward the back of that room is a doorway to the 2nd bedroom which is a King, with desk, chair, bureau, night stand with a microwave in the corner and the same TV.The bathroom which was to the left as you walk in the main door from the outside, had the sink area outside the actual small bathroom.I didn't realize that this place was a motel like place outdoor entrances; nothing major but a surprise none the less. Service Other than asking for a 1 p.m. checkout and daily housekeeping, we did not request any services. Housekeepign was fine. I tipped her $5 the first day (of a two night stay) for extra towels and shampoo which she obliged. Dining continental breakfast, not impressed but for this type of place, it was probably par for the course. No real complaints. There is indoor and patio seating. I only used it for coffee. The kids really didn't like it so we ate out the two mornings we were there. Location We stayed here because of the location. It's about 8/10ths of a mile to the Hermosa Beach Pier. That is what we wanted. I knew the location before booking and location was one of two reasons selecting this place. the other reason was its the only place i could get 3 bes in one room. Overall This stay was fine; a bit pricey but fine; my next stay which I will post after it ends, will be different (the room is definitely a downgrade on stay 2)
