In Santa Monica for a UCLA medical appointment, the property is an ideal location for imaging and a doctor's office visit. The hotel is older and lacks some of the amenities found in other hotels, such as a pool or fitness room. Some of the rooms also feature a sink located in the room, separate from the toilet and bath area. The continental breakfast is just enough to grab something and go, but nothing fancy. Ideally, it worked for what I required from my visit to Santa Monica.
