    I felt the security just Sat in the lobby of the hotel the whole time, I didn't see the making rounds. I didn't even seem walking through the parking lot. Besides that, the room was worth secure in the construction. Next door was even nice enough to cover up my car. So nothing no debris would fall on it and if did wouldn't damage it.

    The room was clean.The room had a great view of the Harbor it was a little outdated, but they're trying to modify and rumala.The staff was helpful to all my needs and the location was great

    The room smelled like stale cigarette smoke. The bathtub has no mat to keep you from slipping and falling. The bathtub has rust spots in it and needs to be replaced. There was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. The room needs a fresh paint job. They allow dogs and there is dog droppings on the sidewalk out the exit to the parking lot and pool (which is empty) and there was a lot of animal hair on the ottoman in my room under the desk. There was no trash basket in the room anywhere.

    The location was perfect for my cruise the next day. Didn't need to call Uber for a ride to the pier. At least the sheets were clean.

    Hotel needed updating and amenities. No coffee maker, no shampoo, body soap other than a bar of soap. Tub and sink filled up when used and it took awhile for it to drain.

    Close to Port of San Pedro.

    The room was extremely spartan. No pictures on the walls, only small bar soaps, no shampoo, lotion etc. There was yelling and lots of noise late into the night and then in the middle of the night, there was about 30 minutes of loud talking and yelling outside our room in the hallway. No breakfast or even coffee were offered!

    The location and the taxi service to the Crown Princess Ship was very easy to book! The outside of the Hotel was beautifully landscaped!

    The room needed a good cleaning, the floors had not been swept. The walls need a good scrubbing. The security lock was hanging on by one screw. We were by an exit door and even though ours was a non-smoking room it smelled like smoke. It was extremely noisy all night.

    Close to the port, it is within walking distance. We were able to park our car there for 15 nights while on a cruise for $10.00 a night.
