The staff was very nice and my room was clean and comfortable. The hallways looked a bit outdated, but the bar was really beautiful. My only problem was that a bar/club nearby was extremely loud. If I were young and still stayed out late, I would not have been bothered. But I generally do not stay up late.

The property was fine, however they do not tell you they charge 38.50 a night to park your car. This would have been very helpful. Rooms are very small, I would not recommend this place for larger people. We barely fit in the shower.

My stay was great. The staff was very helpful and friendly which made check-in/out very efficient! The hotel was so close to the pier (it was only a few minutes to walk) which made the evening enjoyable. The room was very clean and looked really nice. I would stay again!

Great location. Easy to park. Loud area and loud guests. Asked to be moved to a quieter area and they accommodated us. Nice service. Great valet service for our car. Had to go down 3 floors to get ice. Had to request a refrigerator if you are not in a suite. People across the hall were partying loud at 10:30 at night. Called front desk and they took care of it right away.

Not bad if you don’t mind lack of amenities. Bed covers are too thin to keep warm. Noisy outside. But a block away form the beach and shopping. Depends how you look at it…

The staff was very nice, hotel was pretty clean. My only complaint is that it was very loud there. I woke up at 5am from people above me stomping around for a half hour. It was loud outside. A lot of construction and banging going on. Did not sleep very well here.

Friendly, convenient and clean. Older property (no bathroom fan, small room, thin walls/windows) and significant street noise at night. There was a non-optional daily fee that was described as being for the coffee and water bottles in the room. We enjoyed our stay but I would likely look into other options if returning to Santa Monica for more than a couple of nights.

Great location but the noise in our room was unbearable- you could hear people walking above you clearly like they were coming through the roof and someone was banging up there all night- street noise was really bad too - the windows were not insulated at all - not sure if they were full but request an inside room if possible
