Not at all as described

We did not stay and I need to be refunded . This was not a hotel, it was a motel! Not at all what was advertised. We did not stay, the shower was awful no way we could stay. Did not feel safe with my granddaughter. You are impossible to reach and I am so unhappy . I am out $550 for a room that we could not be comfortable or safe staying in and I need to be refunded .

Nice little hotel in a great Santa Monica location. The staff is friendly and helpful. Note that they have limited parking. My only complaint is that the rooms are outdated. The outside of the hotel makes you think "boutique hotel", the rooms remind you of a motel.

This is a great spot. Hotel was clean and well maintained with cute decor and nice bedding, but clearly quite old. The bathroom was clean and good except very small, shower stall especially. But I highly recommend as a great value and so close to everything. Staff very nice and responsive when a fuse blew and tv went out one evening

I liked that the room was very clean and everything in the room worked. The sink and toilet looked relatively new. The shower was older but clean. The bed was very comfortable. I would describe the place as quaint, older but well kept. The location near the pier was excellent. Staff was very pleasant. Two things didn't meet my expectations. The room was smaller than I expected. Our room was upstairs on the street side. Other guests walked inches from our windows so I didn't want to keep blinds open which felt a little restrictive. There were also pictures of outdoor seating and red umbrellas on the website. I saw that area on another side of the building as I drove away after the stay and wondered if that seating was for individual rooms or for anyone. I may have missed that information on the website or at check in.
