10/10 Exceptional

Rooms were very nice and clean and beds were very comfortable. Staffs was very nice.
natalia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It’s impossible to sleep given the loud music at the adjacent bar from 11AM - 2:30AM. Otherwise, it’s conveniently located. Also, the hotel doesn’t have a restaurant - but there are several good restaurants nearby.
Subharthi, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved how close it was to everything in town
Laura, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

this hotel is fine. location is good. It’s clean and in reasonably good shape. However there is a very loud disco in the same building or nearby. The music goes from 9 PM to 2 AM at night. Even with earplugs in and the air conditioner on I could hear it very clearly, and it woke me up literally shakevthe music note
JASON, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best location!

We LOVED the proximity to the beach, pier, & places to eat. Room was a little small but we weren’t there to sit in the room all day. I would stay there again for sure if back in Santa Monica!
Amanda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice. Would stay there again.
Steven George, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Sandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best location in Santa Monica for your buck. Hotel might old in the hallway but have the modern feel inside the room. Comfortable beds. Love it.
Rachelle, 2-night trip

I've stayed here before and it's a great spot! It's close to entertainment and dining on the Promenade and the Pier. And the facility is very nice and clean

Andrea, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love the location

I really want to love this place. The interior of the room was clean and I really liked the decor and the space in the room was comfortable. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The AC never got below 75 in the room though, and was often hotter, which made it pretty stuffy. The location was fabulous. I walked 2 blocks to the pier to watch the sunset both nights. I enjoyed walking the beach. It was a very walkable area. The housekeeping staff was really friendly. Front desk service was nice at check in, the rest of the time it was ok but not overly attentive. The carpets on the stairs and hallways appeared dirty. Overall, the location made it with the stay.
Nicola, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Emily, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely one-night stay that left us feeling quite content. The staff was incredibly friendly, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. It was great to find the pier just a short walk away, allowing us to enjoy some beautiful time by the water. Plus, the nearby restaurant, which offers a nice discount to guests for breakfast, surprised us with its delicious food. Overall, it was a delightful experience!
Yuriko, 1-night trip

good place.
SHUU, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was attentive and nice. There is no parking so you have to valet so keep that in mind. Great location. Very close to Santa Monica Pier. The only negative I would say would be the street noise, but that is the price you pay to be close to everything. Great hotel. Highly recommend.
Andrea, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff are super friendly and very accommodating. At first glance I was a little concerned by the appearance, and you might be too, but, don't let the reception decor and hallway carpet fool you. The room was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was in excellent condition. I highly enjoyed my stay and would book again.

The hotel is impressive only in appearance and lobby, but the rooms inside are not good at all. I don't recommend it.
