Van Nuys - Sherman Oaks Tennis Center

Usually I'd give this place 4 stars, but their ice machine is broken (in Summer no less!!) and their soda machine is out of order. At least the pool is open! Otherwise, it's a quiet, calm location for a staycation .

Convenient location, I got a discounted price. I asked and was given a courtesy late checkout time by 30 minutes. Comfortable bed. Fancy toilet with many buttons for washing one's undersides. But it was a really hot day and there was no way to turn off the heated toilet seat. Shower head was good. There are cheaper public parking garages on Beverly Blvd and Wilshire Blvd one block away. Best of all is Chaumont Bakery, only 5 mins. walk away on Beverly Blvd, a great place for brunch. Order the almond croissant and mushroom omelet, they are divine.

The hotel offers a truly memorable stay, blending comfort with a distinct sense of character that sets it apart from standard accommodations. From the moment of arrival, the atmosphere feels warm and thoughtfully designed, with staff who are attentive without being overwhelming.
