Vantage Point Inn - Woodland Hills — Hotel in Los Angeles

First, the motel is not just clean, it is spotless. Clean sheets, plenty of white towels, new black out drapes and carpets, new terrazzo bathroom flooring. Didn't get a chance to try the tiny hot tub and pool but it appeared both were being maintained. Desk clerk was a bit gruff but helpful when I found I had left home without pen and paper needed to revise a speech I had to give, supplying me with both. The "hidden advantages" of its location are considerable! Just 3 doors to the right as you exit the parking lot is THE BAKER, a wonderful bakery turned cafe- as I was enjoying their killer omelette, I was startled to see a baker removing a tray of freshly baked dinner rolls from an oven right inside the cafe! They do Bfast and lunch only, close at 3:00, and also do catering. Breakfast items include a basket of their freshly baked bread. In the same mini mall, for you business travelers, there is an independent print and copy store. Very close is a Chinese restaurant, and a seafood restaurant, called SOMETHING FISHY. Had meals in both places, but not enough to make a judgement. Now for some negatives, certainly not disqualifying for your patronage. First, this is obviously an older hostelry that all the cleaning and buffing can't overcome. It is located on probably the busiest street in the Valley area of Los Angeles, but did not prevent me from having a good nights sleep. One thing the management can do to improve the image is simply drop the FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST- placing a few muffins on a small table, with a pot of coffee, with two chairs in the tiny lobby, makes all involved in running the place look foolish....

So I stayed at Vantage Point in over 2 months before I wrote this review. I came to LA looking for a place to live. I was trying to buy a house, or rent a house. I found a job but I couldn't find housing and I needed something right away. I decided to come stay at the Vantage Point in the meantime. I came in around midnight with my family and my truck and a trailer. I was worried about having a place to park but they came out and helped me figure it out.. The staff was very welcoming. We stayed for about a week before we finally found a house. In that time, I met the staff and some other residents and I learned the area and they told me about places to live. We ate breakfast every morning at the small Mexican burger place next door which always gave my kids free fries. And even though there was covid raging, the staff at Vantage Point made sure my kids could swim in the pool for a certain amount of time every day. Even though I'm in my house now I remember how nice the staff was and how clean and nice the Vantage Point community is. I only have good memories and cannot give a stronger recommendation possible for this haven...
