The hotel is not at downtown, but it takes only about 5-10 minutes for driving to the supermarket as well as Nordstrom. It's a little bit far to Desert Hill Outlet (about 30 minutes by car), in case you come from Los Angeles would suggest that you go to outlet first. The kitchen in the room equips with completed facilities such like forks, spoons, pan etc. ... The swimming pools are popular to kids. We really enjoy the time while we stay here.
