A beautiful property with a short walk to the beach. It was extremely clean and very quiet, we almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. Once we got there, we parked our car and used scooters or walked to everywhere we went.

As someone who travels 30 weeks a year for work, I can honestly say this was the best experience I have had in years. Easy check in, amazing property and room, location 10/10. I want to move in here. Perfect for work or vacation. Fast internet, full kitchen, a block from the beach, 3 blocks to Promenade. Can’t say enough good things.

Excellent location in Santa Monica. Realize when you book this is not a typical hotel. No service in room entire time you are there. No A/C although overhead fans work well. Full kitchen a plus if you need/ want that. Lovely gardens to sit in behind gated area.

Very comfortable and great location. But the price is steep relative to what you’re getting, no check in desk so late arrivals are awkward where you have to call/text to get keys. And the lack of daily housekeeping is not ideal. But it’s a very comfortable stay, and the street parking permit is a nice touch for this neighborhood. I love it, but it might not be for everyone.

The suite we had was freshly decorated and furnished with good quality items. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. The cleanliness of the facility is obvious as soon as you enter the place. It’s not a normal hotel, more apartment suite complex — and so there are no on site amenities. We only encountered one member of staff at check-in, who was friendly, and apart from that we didn’t see any other staff. Upon check out there was nobody at the manager’s office or to answer the phone; not a problem as we’d prepaid — so we just posted the key back through the office door. I would definitely stay here again in Santa Monica as it’s one block back from Ocean in a very quiet area.

It's basically Santa Monica’s classy older building that somehow aged better than all of us. I booked a one‑bedroom and got upgraded to a giant suite so big I briefly considered hosting a small conference in it. The staff? Ridiculously kind, fast, and professional — like they’re trying to win an award for “Most Competent Humans.” The décor? Classic, elegant, and clearly curated by someone who understands that bright is a lifestyle. The manager, Jen, runs the place with the kind of grace and competence that makes you wonder if she secretly controls the tides. Bottom line: Stay here. It’s beautiful, it’s charming, and you might just get an upgrade that makes you question your actual square footage at home
