Natashia, 1-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.

The location of the hotel is walkable to shopping centre and santa monica pier
Ajub, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The valet parking was a bit expensive but extremely convenient. This hotel is about location it’s 2 blocks from the pier and very close to the mall, what else could you want, it’s not the Hilton but has its own charming appeal. I like the rooms on the west side and the front desk and we do kind to accommodate me.
Sandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great spot, ideal and central
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.

Barbara, 4-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

Marta, 1-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

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.
