Santa Monica Pier
Another great night
The California coastline has stunning sunsets all over, but one of my favorites is by Santa Monica pier. Whether it's the clouds or the weather conditions or something else, the colors produced during the sunset on this beach are always stunning, bordering on unreal. #SantaMonica #California #GoldenHour #weekendgetaway

We liked everything BUT they neglected to say the hotel was under construction and the noise from 8-5 was hideous. Absent that, we'd have rated it superior

Hotel was clean, super comfortable and very spacious! Really glad I chose to spend my money here and not some fancier hotel (with a much smaller room). Very comfortable place to "live" out of for a week. Felt like home.
