The location of the property was awesome! Two blocks away from the pier, one from the promenade and a mall and one block from the beach! We walked everywhere we needed to go. The staff were very friendly and the place was clean. Would stay here again.

Really nice place near the Line 4 bus stop and Santa Monica Pier. There's accessibility to all kinds of things from this spot, something I truly appreciate when I book my stays. Everything worked well in the room, but the highlight was the bed. Great mattress/sheets/pillows. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Valet parking was great, walking distance to the beach was perfect, the room was nice a little small, but it was nice and comfortable Our window was facing the street so it was a little noisy with the traffic and people walking all in all the day was great

The hotel itself was great. Centrally located, so there was a lot of people traffic. We were woken up several times in the middle of the night from people outside, presumably walking home from bars. It’s a great place to stay, but I would not stay here again if I wanted a decent night sleep.

Was pleasantly surprised by the property. Such a short walk to the beach for the price you absolutely can't Beat It. The only thing is parking is an extra charge but for $35 you get valet and they get your car for you whenever you need it. I'll stay again and I do recommend
