I'd give this place 5 stars but due to the parking charges I cut one off. $80 dollars a night to park your car at the hotel your staying at is ridiculous. We asked the attendant if there was any public garages nearby and he said no. However, there's 2 right across the street.

Lovely hotel! Very close to the pier, beach, and shopping center. Seems to be the closest hotel to the pier, the room is very spacious and well furnished. Staff is wonderful, they also let you take chairs, towels, and blankets to the beach even on your check out day. I stayed one night and enjoyed the shopping center my first day, my second day even after checking out they let me take the chairs and towels to the beach and held my luggage. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice hotel in a fun spot of Santa Monica!
