Hotel Angeleno
Price is right. We loved the restaurant before they made it a breakfast buffet. The food now is mediocre at best. Food comes out slowly so people end up piling up waiting for certain dishes to be replenished. Bummer it’s not a pet friendly hotel.

Hotel Carmel
Good hotel for SM brach location and rates. Coffee and water included. Property is dated, but delivers what you would expect for the price.. it was OK for me - one night solo, but not for more thsan two nights or with spouse -- etc. Staff was friendly and responsive, but dont expect luxury.
