älteres, zentral gelegenes Hotel

Ein in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel mit kleinen Zimmern. Wir waren zu 4. und hatten kaum Platz mit unserem gesamten Gepäck. Auch das Bad war eher klein, jedoch war das Zimmer sehr sauber und hell. Das Personal war nett und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral und bieten ein Valet Parking für $35 an. Wir durften unser Auto und unser Gepäck sogar am Abreisetag noch bis Mitte Nachmittags kostenlos da lassen.

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.

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.
