Ponderosa Holidays from £659

It was our first time staying here and the virtual checkin was different but it was quick and easy. I have never had to pay extra for parking but i would stay here again.

My only complaints are: There was what appeared to be some sort of vomit or maybe food on the rug in our room. The rugs/carpet in general could use a cleaning or replacing. The pool could be open a bit longer. It closes at sunset. They also need a blender to make blended drinks! The staff is amazing. They are polite, professional, friendly, and eager to make your stay as comfortable as possible. From the concierge, valet, kitchen staff, and cleaning crew to the bartender and spa staff. They truly make your stay top notch. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The resort is very close to the ocean, though the photos are a bit misleading since they make it look like you just go out the door onto the beach. It’s about a mile walk to get there. The massage therapist was amazing. They bring everything to your room and tailor the massage to your preferences. The deep tissue massage was exactly what I needed. I would definitely stay again!

Clean hotel with great service. The only downsides to this property is that the $150 deposit wasn’t disclosed until after I already booked and prepaid for the room & the parking is $40 a night (in a garage that’s across the street). Other than that, this is a great place to spend a night or two.

The overall property itself was decently clean.Its just the street that was a little dirty. Did have a problem with my room but they switched me quickly. Problems: Seemed like no matter what room I was in there was always an issue somewhere some small and some big. Maybe the lamp didn’t work, dirty or stained shower floor and stains in the carpet in one room and the other room had cheap paint job, weird smell, similar shower and no lamps besides a light by the bathroom. Both rooms had issues that I didn’t bother the hotel about(seemed like all the rooms were going to have problems). Not so bad: Decent price. Bed seemed to have clean sheets and overall it was a decent bed to sleep on. Has a pool. Close to everything in Hollywood. Front desk agents were accommodating. Overall a decent experience but as it is understood, you get what you pay for. In this case I paid for convenience but not “luxury”(or let’s say a certain level of excellence). If you come understanding what you are paying for and adjust your expectations, you’ll enjoy your stay here

This property was beautifully renovated. I visited with my teen daughter and felt very safe in the hotel and surrounding area. This hotel is very centrally located so if you are looking to hit up many sites in LA this is a great spot. Quiet and a little off the beaten path but definitely walkable to shopping (Century City) and Beverly Hills area. We booked the Gold level and it was great, They had a separate concierge lounge that you can get small breakfast items/appetizers/snacks and grab water/soda on the go. Bella (the other staff as well in the Gold level) were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
