Villa Graziadio Executive Center at Pepperdine University

Villa Graziadio Executive Center at Pepperdine University

8/10 Good
"The reason I gave 4 stars was because there was no breakfast on the weekend. The other reason was the lady working the front desk on Thursday, October 1 evening when we checked in was not very pleasant, so it made for an unfavorable first impression. All the other staff members were very friendly."
