Mediocre, nothing special.

The room was fine. Nothing special. I woke up with 4 bug bites which I hope were from mosquitos and not bed bugs but I didn’t have time to look around. Very noisy at night - could hear what sounded like a loud maintenance cart, people talking all hours of the night. For $250 I would find somewhere else next time for this less than average hotel.

I stay at this property when I am in Santa Monica because it’s walking distance to the restaurants and to the beach and the rooms are clean and conveniently located in the staff is pretty nice but for the amount of time I come there the staff should recognize me and maybe offer me an upgrade sometimes, but all in all the property itself is very good so thank you

Nice comforter on the bed, pillows ok could be better. Clean and comfortable. No view from two chairs outside the room facing an apartment building. Had to wait a long time to get my room as the man was a bit slow but otherwise all good.

The property is very close to the beach. It was very clean and there was staff 24/7. Lots of rental ameny. Parking was unique, either street parking or on the property for a certain fee. After 6pm is free street parking. It was safe quiet and relaxing. Opening my hotel door and getting that beach breeze was a pure joy. I will be coming back.

Excellent hotel!

The staff was so accommodating and we loved everything about our stay from the design of the room to the access to the ocean and lots of businesses within walking distance. Would stay here again in a heartbeat :)
