Hotel Californian
I just think it was significantly over priced for the provided room. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable hard cheap mattresses I've been on. Loud and squeaky. The ac unit was loud. Upstairs guests loud, but that's not really a hotel issue. Fees were crazy and not listed prior. 60$ for parking ...

Front desk service was so accommodating - both day team and night team. Hotel was clean and so cute. The coffee shop and bar attached to the hotel was a perfect addition.
