Check-in was good. Staff were helpful and friendly enough. Quick to come and fix the safe in our room. Decor throughout the hotel is very dated. Needs a good refresh. Hotel is in an excellent location.

2/10 Poor

this hotel is old, the elevator was broke and the maintenance knew ut, i’ve left my family get on the elevator, after a few minutes of being in the elevator and not moving, he told us that it was broken, the room I got had a view of the part where all the air conditioning installation is and by the way, it's quite dirty.

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location, exceptional staff
Super friendly, super helpful staff. Checked in easily and quickly after being delayed by half a day. Used the valet parking, that was a breeze too. Our room (200) was much bigger than expected, like a small apartment and had everything we need. They location is second to none and made exploring Santa Monica easy! Thanks again to all the staff there.

6/10 Good

No rest for the weary.
There’s a Tequila bar in the same building that was doing all you can eat tacos and karaoke from 9PM-2AM. I was staying on the second floor right above the bar and it was so loud, at times, that my earplugs made no difference. It made getting up at 4AM for my flight a real challenge. The hotel should give guests a heads-up, as a courtesy, if this is a regular occurrence, which it seems to be.
