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.

Hotel is clean, shower worked great, check-in was easy. They have a breakfast/lunch/dinner place right next to the hotel that has good breakfast food. We wanted to go for dinner, but they close at 3:00 p.m.?? You get a discount if you show your hotel key. There is no fridge or microwave in the rooms, and if you want ice, you have to get it from the front desk. The beds in the room we had were extremely noisy and not comfortable, but we did see them putting new mattresses in some of the rooms. They say they have sound proof rooms but you could hear lots of noise from outside the room and outside the hotel. Overall, it was ok.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Looks great online but dated interior. Great location and price for nightlife… which was a negative in our case since it’s noisy and inconvenient for a family passing through with late arrival and early departure during a roadtrip.

The area this hotel is in is LOUD day and night. People yelling on the streets, cars honking, loud mufflers, cars racing up the street. We had a hard time falling asleep each night. The beds and pillows are pretty hard. FYI there are no mini fridges in the regular rooms. Only 1 small elevator. We were a family of 4 with 2 teen girls and the small bathroom made for some big fights (that’s my fault, I’ll choose better next time). The area is very convenient to the pier and restaurants. There are a LOT of homeless people on the streets here.

Great location - walking distance to pier, shopping and dining. Valet was super busy so there was a slight delay in parking, but retrieval was within minutes.

The hotel is in a perfect location walkable to the pier, shopping and restaurants. We stayed in the suite which had a spacious sitting room off of the bedroom with a full sized pull out couch, 2 arm chairs and a desk w chair. The bedroom was very spacious with a large dresser and big closet - plenty of space to store your things. And lots of natural light in both sitting and bedroom. The bathroom is tiny. The shower curtain is very short and as a result water all over the floor when showering. This can be easily solved by installing a longer shower curtain. The bathroom counter was installed for someone toddler sized. Very low. But workable. There is no where to hang towels. Easy fix - install hooks on the back of the bathroom door. The room was very clean. The common areas are another story. There is carpeting throughout and looks like it needs a good cleaning. The carpeting on the stairs needs some vacuuming and could look so much better. All in all, it was the right fit for us and if in the area would stay again. If it’s helpful, we stayed in 306 didn’t use the sofa bed and can’t comment on it.
