LA Artcore

⚠️ FAIR WARNING to anyone thinking about booking a stay at THE LEEF. We stayed for 3 days/2 nights. The room itself is cute, and while there’s no microwave—which is inconvenient—it wasn’t a huge deal. What IS a huge deal is that we found TWO ROACHES in our room on the very first night. I reported it the following morning, but they weren’t able to provide us with a different room. Instead, I was offered cleaning services for that day and one day of free parking (aka $10) as compensation. However, on the next morning - checkout day, we found TWO MORE ROACHES. Four roaches during a two-night stay is absolutely unacceptable. A hotel should be able to provide guests with a clean, pest-free room, and the fact that we continued finding roaches after reporting the issue is disgusting. And don’t expect much when it comes to customer service. The so-called “lobby” is essentially just a screen with a virtual representative. When you have an actual issue that requires assistance, it makes the experience even more frustrating. I genuinely hope no one else has to worry about accidentally bringing roaches home with them after staying here. Do yourself a favor: if you value cleanliness and want a pest-free stay, DON’T STAY AT THE LEEF.

Lovely hotel in the older California resort style - loads of charm - very comfortable bed and great linens and towels! Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly - great ocean front views - highly recommend!!

Everything was nice. The security guy Carlos ( I think) was cool and I felt safe with him being there. They don’t play about security. My only concern was the A/C froze and I slept all night without any A/C. I thought maybe the host would have accommodated me but nothing was ever said or done. There should be instructions if you have a problem with the A/C. I was out at the convention mostly. Oh and the kitchen sink clogged up, but I wasn’t using it as much so once I reported it to the hostess, both were fixed expeditiously. Becky was cool- the hostess, the security was cool, the neighbors were cool, the setup was cool. Also, there’s no bedroom television but for some ppl may not be a thing. Other than that everything else was good. I enjoy the convention and my stay.
