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
