The property managers were amazing. They made me feel at home, and are very welcoming. They even let us leave our bags in office the day we were leaving, because we had a late flight. I would definitely stay here again. The room was cozy and inviting. It was very quiet, and about a 10 min walk to the beach. I am handicapped, and I was able to walk to everything.

Close proximity to beach and pier with many places to eat and shop within walking distance. Hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly during our stay. There is parking on site but if you have a full size SUV or truck please be aware that parking spaces are small with not a lot of space to maneuver. We will stay again in the future. Thank you!

The rooms need to be updated. The rooms were definitely cleaned, but bc the bathrooms are old it felt more dirty than it was. Beds were comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend for families with children. The biggest issue was the large amount of mentally unstable unhoused people that hang out around the property. We saw over 6 incidents with people either getting into fights with pedestrians, being aggressive, pushing over people’s bikes, and the biggest was a woman with her pants down to her knees crawling on the ground while cussing at people. I was with my 3 kids and they were scared. The location to the Santa Monica Pier is great and there is a slight ocean view, but I would only recommend this hotel for adults. We had to check out a day early because it was too unsettling for my kids.

This hotel was amazing! I stayed here as part of a solo trip I was on, so staying safe was a big concern of mine and this hotel had me feeling very secure while on my own! The staff was also amazing and was super helpful whenever I needed assistance with something! If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be staying here again!

There was no one in the office. When you did hit the ring doorbell no one answered it ever. I ran out of toilet paper and couldn't get anyone to get me more, luckily the room next to mine had an extra roll Yes there is parking on site but you have to pay extra and the spaces are so small you can't get out of the car.
