Great location and value
The staff was friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. The location was great though there was a lot of noise from outside the hotel on Friday and Saturday night. It didn’t bother us very much though as we were exhausted and are sound sleepers.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel has been somewhat updated. Although the bathrooms have not, the bathroom fan is horribly loud, the air conditioner is horribly loud, and there is excessive nightlife in the area to the point of the staff of a security guard on the weekend in the lobby with 2x4” barricading the front door. One of the restaurants that they are still handing out discount vouchers for is completely closed. The other restaurant is more of a bar/lounge than a restaurant and it’s only open in the evenings. So they attached restaurants are useless. Elevators are very slow in the morning and the staff is not very helpful with any questions we had. They seemed more interested in talking to Mike themselves or whatever they were doing on their cell phones.

It was a lovely place to stay for a night while exploring the Santa Monica area. Very close the Santa Monica Pier and walkable distance from many more shops and restaurants. Staff was great and very friendly.
