Lovely peaceful experience

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Nest. I am a light sleeper and it was so nice and quiet. The staff were very nice - every single person I interacted with. The room is sufficient with decent sized bathroom and closet space. It is not far from shopping or restaurants. The morning breakfast was delicious and fresh with choices. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Cedar, Los Angeles

This is a motel, not a hotel. The USB chargers and outlets did not work well. There are no restaurants nearby and probably a lot of people would like the breakfast but I don't like the kind of breakfast they serve because it is cheap, processed American food. Wish I had stayed elsewhere.
