Liked: Cleanliness
The location is convenient, you can walk to Santa Monica Pier and downtown. We were surprised to find out the only onsite parking option is $64 per day valet parking. There is a garage near by, but be aware it is difficult to navigate to on your first day. The elevator is small, slow and often not working. Will NOT stay there in the future.

Super close to the train station and right across from the Pier. So many good spots to eat and drink within a short drive. If you are driving, the entrance is a bit tricky to spot.

Wonderful. The room was spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of space to relax. The absolute highlight was the view from the window – it was absolutely breathtaking! I had a perfect, unobstructed view of the Santa Monica beach. The hotel clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall sense of comfort during my stay. The staff were kind and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile. Their hospitality truly made me feel at home.

Fraudulent billing

The hotel billed me twice for a one night stay. Kitchen was super slow. Waited more than 30 mins for my order although I was the only customer
