Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, the price was on the higher side. The location was convenient, backed over a laneway, but the old single-paned windows affected the noise level. The service was very helpful, but it felt like the management lacked investment in the hotel.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Santa Monica, close to the bustling restaurant scene and just a stone's throw away from the beach. While the rooms were spacious and pleasant, the noise levels, particularly near room 206, due to a nearby dumpster, made it challenging to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. The service was outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay for guests.
The hotel felt like a stylish apartment, making it very homey, but the rooms seemed a bit older than expected. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to be friendly and accommodating. The location was nearly perfect, close to the beach but somewhat marred by poor soundproofing and extra charges for Wi-Fi.
The hotel offers a good night's sleep with rooms featuring ceiling fans for adult privacy, wooden floors, and a cozy atmosphere. While not the best, it provides a decent stay.
The hotel offers cozy and spacious rooms, ensuring a great night's sleep, despite some noise from nearby activities. The service was efficient and friendly, making my stay very pleasant. The location couldn't be better, being close to the beach and vibrant pedestrian streets. However, the dining options were limited and could use improvement.
The hotel location is nice, close to the 3rd street promenade but not that close to the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean, feeling more like an apartment with a huge living area, bathroom, and private bedroom equipped with good amenities. Service was lacking, being told it's not a party hotel, yet disappointing experiences occurred with luggage management and assistance. The dining options were poor, and basic facilities were supplied. It's a great location close to various attractions.
