Lift entrance is too narrow and it’s so difficult to walk in with luggages and backpack which I was very struggling for this issue. My room was very comfortable and clean but it’s quite noisy during night because of central place.

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

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.

This place is great for a little getaway in Santa Monica! Cute, quaint rooms with everything you need to settle in comfortably. A short walk down to the pier, or turn the corner and you’re right in the heart of downtown. No car needed to visit here, everything is walkable and a great view at that! Foodaroumd this place is delicious and some shops near the hotel even offer hotel guests a discount. Don’t skip this spot for a place to stay
