I inspected the rooms before unpacking and sitting on the beds and thank goodness I did. The Rooms had been cleaned well but the mattresses were so dirty it was horrifying. Blood and or bodily fluid stains bedaubed the mattresses and I checked back out immediately. The area surrounding the hotel is decent enough but probably among the worst parts of Santa Monica. The hotel staff refused to give me a refund despite me checking back out less than 10 minutes after I arrived. Thankfully Expedia processed my refund

Really nice place, but nothing that you can’t find for a better price. So in my opinion, it’s a little bit too expensive for what they offer

The queen size mattress in my room was firm and comfortable but the pillows were too high and firm. There are 4 pillows for every bed all of the same type and firmness! Parking was for a fee but convenient. The gym was too small with no ventilation and you need to get a separate key to get in. Breakfast was minimal but coffee tasted better than average.
