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.

The valet parking was a bit expensive but extremely convenient. This hotel is about location it’s 2 blocks from the pier and very close to the mall, what else could you want, it’s not the Hilton but has its own charming appeal. I like the rooms on the west side and the front desk and we do kind to accommodate me.

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.

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.
