Good room, as advertised. However photos are very misleading, giving the impression of a courtyard, and we apparently had not booked to have a courtyard room. There is no way one would have pictured the building we were in from the posting. Staff v unhelpful on this point, and seemed to acknowledge this was the case but blamed Expedia for the misrepresentation.

Best Western Santa Monica, Pico Blvd.

Fairly basic, average hotel around 2.5 miles out from the Santa Monica sea front. Breakfast was provided, which was limited but adequate to start the day. Room was small with minimal storage space but ok for a couple of days stay. Hotel was kept clean & tidy. There was free parking at the hotel. There was a good regular bus service on the number 7 to downtown from outside the hotel.

Glorified Motel 6 without the pool

This was our third stay in the past 2 years. The first two times we were in the courtyard in a room with kitchenette. Those stays were okay. This last time, just two weeks ago, we were put in building 2, without a courtyard and it wasn't so great. The courtyard has a locked gate from the street for added security, building 2 does not. The continental breakfast is pretty meh. I learned they will start charging $10 a night for parking in July. We will probably explore other options the next time we make the trek down to LA.
