We absolutely LOVED this hotel. It’s an older property that has been updated beautifully. Our first contact with staff was the valet in the garage. I was nervous about parking but it was so easy, breezy. And the valet was patient with my chaos and questions. The parking garage is light, bright, and felt safe.
You walk into the hotel from the valet and enter their GORGEOUS lobby. And that’s where we were greeted by two desk clerks who were calm, happy, helpful. The whole vibe said, “Ok, mama… you are on vacation now. RELAX.” So I did.
The safety of the hotel is wonderful. You need a keycard to use the elevator. I loved that.
When you step off the elevator you are greeted by an open air tranquility garden. This Montana girl was obsessed with. We walked into our room and it was exactly as advertised: clean, simple, beautiful. And the most amazing view of Ocean Ave, the sea line and the Santa Monica Pier. We had the best time eating our Joe’s Pizza Place on the balcony & people watching as the sun set.
I’m writing this review from my hotel room bed, watching the sunrise. The sheets are soft and for me the beds are the perfect firmness. (As opposed to too soft).
The bathroom: a shower head that feels like you’re standing in a warm rain downpour, ocean scented toiletries, BIG towels. A .
Overall a charming & delightful stop on our trip to LA! Will definitely return!
