Way too expensive for what is basically a motel

This was a quick one night getaway from LA. The property is basically a glorified motel. The door and window of the room open to an outdoor walkway on the second floor. The “first” floor is the parking area so if we open our blinds, we see people walking by our room and cars parked below. The room furnishings are basic. Our “VIP” amenity was a bottle of sparkling wine that couldn’t have cost more than $5-6. The description on hotels.com oversells the property. The location isn’t bad as it’s a few blocks to the beach. But $445 a night for what is basically a motel room is exorbitant.

We liked the room and the breakfast. We did not like the wait or service at check in. The African American guy at the counter wouldn't even look up from his writing or make eye contact. After about thirty seconds I asked if I could check in. He was annoyed. All he said was "I need your license and credit card". That is no welcome. Also, there was no elevator. Otherwise all was good.

Lovely property. However I stayed there because they have a Peloton and the thing didn’t work because it wasn’t connected to the internet. Argh

Great place to stay near the beach

Very warm staff, our room was comfortable. The exterior could use a little TLC. Conveniently located close to the beach. We enjoyed walking to the beach and dinner around the corner. We will be coming back to stay again in the near future

We chose Brisas mostly because of the pool and included breakfast. Both of those amenities were perfect. The front desk staff was very nice and they even upgraded us to a big suite at no charge. The location is walkable or bike-able to most things downtown. They even have bikes you can borrow! We’ll definitely stay here again.
