Esther morning breakfast lady was a racist. She let two white man eat breakfast at 645am . When we came. 2 Hispanics. She closed the breakfast door and said we had to wait till 7am.
Wich I would have understood if the other 2 white man got denied breakfast as well but she came for the 2 Hispanics. Shame on her. Extremely rude .

I enjoy staying at H.I.E when I am out of town. Locations are always clean, service is great, price is reasonable, and a tasty breakfast when you wake up. Gym facilities are adequate and they have a pool that is clean and open pretty late. I will continue to stay at H.I.E. and recommend this location. Its a 12 minute drive to Venice beach and the historic district
