Loved how close to the pier and the promenade it was. Prefect location. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great discounts at restaurants and stores. Great stay price. Will stay again.
Great location to the beach and the Promenade for shopping. Valet parking cost is reasonable and what I loved was the staff had umbrellas on stand-by for us to use because it was a very rainy weekend.
Hotel very clean and very close to Santa Monica Pier. The bed was super comfy. Staff friendly gave us recommendations for meals and coupons for near by restaurants. They also provided us with a map of the area. Would stay here again.
The location was perfect close to the beach and the pedestrian shopping area. Room was clean and staff was very friendly. Also convenient valet parking.
Charming boutique hotel in historical downtown Santa Monica near the pier, beach, shops, and dining. Rooms were clean. Staff was welcoming and knowledgeable about our the area. 5 stars.
The room was very clean. The staff is wonderful and extremely helpful. Location is great for going to the Santa Monica Pier, maybe a 5 minute walk. If you are riding the hop on/hop off bus stop 57 is a 3-4 minute walk away. You will hear street noise, but not later at night.
Good staff. Very clean room. The location in Santa Monica is ideal. Close to the beach and also the 3rd St. shopping promenade.

Good hotel for SM brach location and rates. Coffee and water included. Property is dated, but delivers what you would expect for the price.. it was OK for me - one night solo, but not for more thsan two nights or with spouse -- etc. Staff was friendly and responsive, but dont expect luxury.
Spotless, clean room and front desk and valet exceptional service. Hope to have the chance to come back for another stay sometime.
Best regards from Florida.
