Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The front desk “manager” Julian, could benefit from a crash course in hospitality. Their demeanor felt far more suited to a budget chain off the 405 than a property trying to brand itself as a boutique experience - The smug presentation was completely out of sync with the boutique atmosphere this hotel seems desperate to create while attempting to resurrect itself. I’m using the word “boutique,” only because there isn’t a better descriptor for “busted but trying” to recoup investor capital. It’s one thing when the nightly rate far exceeds the service delivered not uncommon; it’s another when an array of misc. charges appears to be the strategy for dragging this aging property back from the brink. With plenty of surrounding options offering better value—and likely far happier to welcome guests—If this hotel wants to succeed, it needs associates who are invested in the experience and ownership willing to fix what desperately needs attention.

Most importantly, the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, the hotel's location is excellent and beautiful, the rooms are clean and tidy, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel makes you feel like you're staying in a family setting thanks to the staff's high morals. I have chosen this hotel as my place of residence for all my future visits to Santa Monica.

Great little stay with lovely service

Comfortable stay. Staff were super friendly and welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home! The room was very basic, I would probably expect a little more quality from a 4* hotel, however it was perfectly ok for us and our stay. I wasn’t a huge fan of paying $55 plus tax for valet parking for the night, which is literally just a tiny car park which, in my opinion doesn’t need valet and could quite easily park yourself. Very expensive parking for what it is.
