When a couple comes together out of love and commits to honor and cherish each other for the rest of their lives, it’s a beautiful thing. But, after the wedding is over and your new life begins together, combining households can come with its fair share of stress. When the items from two households don’t quite fit into a single living space, consider relieving any tension by using a secure storage unit.
Sometimes a leisurely week-long vacation just isn’t in the cards, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a quick mini-vacation. Our Newbury self-storage team at Hollywood Storage Center knows of some unique hotels that will give you Hollywood access for the night, as well as a uniquely fun experience. So, without any further ado, take a look at our Hollywood Overnight Getaway recommendations and what we think makes them each super special!
Because It’s Fancy
The London – At The London West Hollywood, you’re sure to feel like a Hollywood star yourself. Their staff really knows how to go above and beyond to make you feel like a VIP. You’ll enjoy the spacious rooms, stunning views, and a gorgeous rooftop pool with private cabanas and a roomy sundeck. Be sure to say “hello” to Winston and Churchill, two adorable bulldogs who are the hotel’s official mascots. Bring your own pooch and treat him to a meal fit for a real Prime Minister. That’s right, they have “Winston’s Menu” especially for four-legged guests. Yes, it’s pricy, but we did tell you, it’s fancy!

Westlake Village
Cici’s Café – What would we recommend for lunch at Cici’s? Breakfast! If you’ve ever been to Cici’s, we’re sure you’ll agree. Their pancakes, French toast, waffles and crepes are simply to-die-for! And we’re not the only ones who think so! This full-service restaurant has been recognized on The Travel Channel and featured in LA Thrillist, LA Weekly, LA TimeOut and many other publications. Try the Betty Boo waffles made with fresh strawberries and topped with Nutella and ice cream. Or their Show Biz pancakes with sweet dried cranberries and caramelized walnuts topped with lemon sauce and whipped cream.
Green Tea Tiramisu Pancakes. Another Favorite from Your Thousand Oaks Storage Team.
Summer break is over and most students in the Conejo Valley are already bringing home crazy amounts of homework. Our Thousand Oaks storage team suggests setting your student up for success by setting up a designated at-home study spot.
According to an Iowa State Daily article, studies show that consistency and familiarity that comes with studying in a regular spot does help students do better in school. But all study spots aren’t created equal! We have a feeling kids do their best work in a structured space rather than lying on their bed with their laptop propped up on a pillow. So, here are a few ideas on how to create this space within a manageable budget.
One of the bigger challenges when creating space for studying is simply finding room. Our kids’ bedrooms aren’t typically that large, and other rooms may be full of furniture. Consider rearranging one of your home’s living spaces to accommodate a small desk on one wall or in a corner. Remember, it isn’t forever and it could actually keep your home better organized. If you have too much furniture, you could rent a small storage unit at Hollywood Storage Center to temporarily keep items that won’t fit. We’re building great minds, so the effort is worth it!
A Shared Living Room/Study Space is Possible and Still Looks Great
