Noon on Sunset Hill

Just completed a successful stay at Noon on Sunset Hill. It was a perfect place for us, location wise, but I could see where this place would not satisfy some travelers. Before I get too far, I will state that this hotel is 100% unacceptable for anyone with mobility issues. If this is you, stop reading now and find another place. The best way I could describe this is if someone took a 4 bedroom house and turned it into 4 separate Air BNBs. It is not a “hotel” is the modern sense. It has a common kitchen, stocked in the way you would expect an Air BNB might be. It also has a common front porch. The rooms are most like what you might expect in a hotel. All communication is done electronically. There was no staff on site other than housekeeping for a few hours As stated in other reviews, the walls are quite thin. You will hear outside noise and other guests. We were here when many rooms were empty, so our stay was fine. This would be a great place to stay for a Dodger game, as the park is easy walking distance. One final note is… if you plan on simply handing the address off to your ride share driver, you will not be successful. Use the instructions the innkeeper sends you via e-mail on the day of your check in. You either take the stairs at 1428 and take a right at the gated sidewalk… or you go in on the alley literally where Google maps has its red pointer. All in all, my complaints are minor and I had a successful stay, but if you are expecting a hotel-chain experience you won’t get that here.

Nothing wrong with this place, it was clean and well appointed, just the lack of staff and a reliance on access codes was slightly disconcerting particularly given that the doors needed locking behind them as you left (meaning they were only as secure as the most forgetful guest). The bed wasn't terribly comfortable, and it was an odd decision to leave a fancy drip coffee set up, but with only instant coffee provided. The only lamp in the room was also temperamental and prone to sparking, so we unplugged it. More thought appears to have been made on the aesthetic (Ikea, predominately), than perhaps the overall functionality of the place. Regardless, it served a purpose and wasn't bad.
