I inspected the rooms before unpacking and sitting on the beds and thank goodness I did. The Rooms had been cleaned well but the mattresses were so dirty it was horrifying. Blood and or bodily fluid stains bedaubed the mattresses and I checked back out immediately. The area surrounding the hotel is decent enough but probably among the worst parts of Santa Monica. The hotel staff refused to give me a refund despite me checking back out less than 10 minutes after I arrived. Thankfully Expedia processed my refund

The queen size mattress in my room was firm and comfortable but the pillows were too high and firm. There are 4 pillows for every bed all of the same type and firmness! Parking was for a fee but convenient. The gym was too small with no ventilation and you need to get a separate key to get in. Breakfast was minimal but coffee tasted better than average.

Touristes Canadiens

l'hôtel est très bien situé, pas loin de Santa Monica, et Venice Beach, il est propre, le personnel est gentil, le parking au sous sol a 17$ la journée, acceptable comparant a d'autre hôtels. Ce que je n'ai pas aimé, le petit déjeuner est très basique... une seule table a coté du café, il faut sortir un peu de l'hôtel pour avoir une table, le bruit de la clim est insupportable !!! donc soit vous supportez la chaleur soit le bruit , les deux vous empêchent de dormir

The food options (advertised as continental breakfast) were minimal. If you're looking for a firm mattress, do not stay here. Maybe managed 4 hours sleep on the too soft mattress. Then the right wing TV in the lobby. Not what I wanted greeting me after a rough sleep. Please be more considerate to all your guests in that way.
