“The location was handy – a short walk to a movie theater and also the Farmers Market and a market. The lower-level units were a nice size and brand new; we really enjoyed it.”

“Quaint and clean, with staff at reception and the restaurant being incredibly helpful. The beds were amazing, there was central heating, a safe, and multi-channel TV in the room. Location was excellent and unbeatable, not far from The Room. The rooftop restaurant nearby served good food.”

8.1Verified guest

“The hotel's location was excellent and absolutely perfect for visiting a great restaurant in Topanga Canyon. Make sure to book the double room with a shower and king-sized bed, for example.”
