The property managers were amazing. They made me feel at home, and are very welcoming. They even let us leave our bags in office the day we were leaving, because we had a late flight. I would definitely stay here again. The room was cozy and inviting. It was very quiet, and about a 10 min walk to the beach. I am handicapped, and I was able to walk to everything.

Was given the wrong room, had to buy an additional room to accommodate my party, the shower drain didn’t work, so everyone had to use 1 bathroom. Reported this to the front office and the person argued with me and was very rude. Refunded some money for the broken shower. No apology, empathy, or compassion. So sad BC we’ve stayed here a couple times and like the property. Too bad the staff is so rude!

Walkable to everything in Santa Monica and very close to the beach. Overall quiet despite being on busy road. Public overnight parking is difficult to find super close unless you get there very early. The spots onsite are tight. I would definitely stay again.

Close proximity to beach and pier with many places to eat and shop within walking distance. Hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly during our stay. There is parking on site but if you have a full size SUV or truck please be aware that parking spaces are small with not a lot of space to maneuver. We will stay again in the future. Thank you!

The rooms need to be updated. The rooms were definitely cleaned, but bc the bathrooms are old it felt more dirty than it was. Beds were comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend for families with children. The biggest issue was the large amount of mentally unstable unhoused people that hang out around the property. We saw over 6 incidents with people either getting into fights with pedestrians, being aggressive, pushing over people’s bikes, and the biggest was a woman with her pants down to her knees crawling on the ground while cussing at people. I was with my 3 kids and they were scared. The location to the Santa Monica Pier is great and there is a slight ocean view, but I would only recommend this hotel for adults. We had to check out a day early because it was too unsettling for my kids.
