Northwest San Pedro
Last year I spent the day driving around Los Angeles with a couple of photography friends.  As we arrived at the Korean Friendship Bell I shot this picture while my buddy shot his composition standing next to me! 

I honestly didn't care for this picture when it was shot and we were going to reshoot during a sunset at a later date...then my friend died and I have found a different level of appreciation for this picture!
I will always remember his generosity, crazy sense of humor, and his love for his two children!

RIP Thomas Allen Gartner III

"Friendly, efficient and helpful staff. I especially appreciated the housekeeping staff that helped me with my bags. I am sorry I did not get her name but it was at 5.15pm on the 8th floor and she would not accept a tip from me. If you can work out who she was please share my appreciation"

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The area directly around the hotel was nice. There were pretty views and the grounds were nice. The port area is very industrial and there is nothing to do unless you are taking a cruise.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Would not stay in San Pedro. Seen too many drugged out people walking around at night. Walking through the bushes and down the middle of the street

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I wish that you offered early check in, it would be beneficial to your guests.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Remiknd me not to stay in this area.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

Hot tub did not work and pool was as dirty as the rooms. I just dont agree with the misleading pictures. If you can avoid this location or area it would be for the best.

4/5 - Good

USS Battleship IOwa was a fantastic experience. Niko’s Pizzeria was awesome!
