I loved how close it was to everything in town
Laura, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

The location of the property was awesome! Two blocks away from the pier, one from the promenade and a mall and one block from the beach! We walked everywhere we needed to go. The staff were very friendly and the place was clean. Would stay here again.
Corina, 3-night trip

Anthony, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Really nice place near the Line 4 bus stop and Santa Monica Pier. There's accessibility to all kinds of things from this spot, something I truly appreciate when I book my stays. Everything worked well in the room, but the highlight was the bed. Great mattress/sheets/pillows. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Best location in Santa Monica for your buck. Hotel might old in the hallway but have the modern feel inside the room. Comfortable beds. Love it.
Rachelle, 2-night trip

Barbara, 4-night trip

Hotel staff us friendly, rooms are nice, and Location is great
Gloria, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Valet parking was great, walking distance to the beach was perfect, the room was nice a little small, but it was nice and comfortable Our window was facing the street so it was a little noisy with the traffic and people walking all in all the day was great
Christina, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Once a couple issues were handled everything was wonderful. Pleasant staff! Front desk was very helpful. When we left this morning early, I had to wake up the man sitting there to tell him we were leaving.
Brenda, 5-night trip

Prefect location. Friendly staff. Clean rooms
Marta, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location, very cheap valet parking and fees, yes the hotel is a little dated and our room was above a bar so noisey at night but for what is cost you can’t complain!
H, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel itself was great. Centrally located, so there was a lot of people traffic. We were woken up several times in the middle of the night from people outside, presumably walking home from bars. It’s a great place to stay, but I would not stay here again if I wanted a decent night sleep.
Emily, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good location . Showers not good but property felt safe . Good if you want to see Santa Monica
Gareth, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was incredibly wonderful, and helpful, and caring. I don’t think the establishment was worth the money we spent. The room was small and looked like a motel. The AC was loud.
Pamela, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I've stayed here before and it's a great spot! It's close to entertainment and dining on the Promenade and the Pier. And the facility is very nice and clean
Daniel, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Clean room, amazing location! Rooms were updated but the hallway and lobby were dingy and definitely looked like they’ve never been updated.
Nicole, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Was pleasantly surprised by the property. Such a short walk to the beach for the price you absolutely can't Beat It. The only thing is parking is an extra charge but for $35 you get valet and they get your car for you whenever you need it. I'll stay again and I do recommend
Larry, 1-night trip
