This is a great little find, handily placed for quirky and boho Topanga, north to Woodland Hills and city stuff, south to PCH, beaches and Malibu. Right on a babbling creek, humming birds flitting around. Make no mistake, if you like characterless but efficient chain hotels, it's not for you. If you like offbeat, no-nonsense and, frankly, interesting, then it's great value. Check-in great, but we arrived at night and it was a little difficult to find in the dark: by way of guidance, it's 50 yards or so south of the traffic lights in Topanga, on the left, directly opposite a gravel layby.
