Aldersgate is just one mile away from the Pacific Ocean and 16 miles away from LAX airport. Furthermore, it is located close to several hiking trails and Santa Monica Pier, offering guests plenty of relaxing outdoor activity options.
3. Flexibility
Aldersgate has both full and half day packages. It also has packages for groups that want to use the whole facility or just part of it. The facility can even host people with food sensitivities and is flexible enough to offer guests early arrival and late departure accommodations, with prior notice.
