Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am so happy you enjoyed your time here! I hope to see you again very soon :)

The location is excellent. Long ago this used to be a darling apartments and the new owners kept the built-ins and the feel of Southern California courtyard living. I really enjoyed my night here. Parking was on site and there’s more shopping than any human needs within walking distance. The ocean is a block away and while there’s no view I could hear it from my room

Great location

This place is great if you have ever lived in LA or Santa Monica and are visiting again. It will remind you simultaneously of what you loved and why you left ; ) which I mean in the best way. If you haven't been to LA or SM before and/or have that gauzy romanticized version of "California" in your head - this place might be a rude awakening...We loved the location and not having to drive at all once we arrived (Though the parking fee is astronomical as per usual in LA area). So easy to walk down to the beach, 3rd street, and all the other great parts of Santa Monica Beach area. I guess I don't know how to describe it to anyone who hasn't lived in LA before. If you are looking for a standard or upscale, cushy experience do not book here. If you know and love LA for what she is you'll love it here! I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

AN updated review

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, close to the beach, charming style
Cons: Poor breakfast
After reading the very negative reviews from a few years ago, I felt I had to make it right. I stayed at this hotel with my family about a month ago. The personnel of the hotel was very nice and helpful. The rooms were very clean (and I am usually pretty picky). Of course, rooms are not as big as in more modern hotels. Our bathroom was small and did not have a shower, but we got over it (it was just for a few nights anyway). The style is very 60's maybe, but it has its charm. And although 60's, it is not dusty. It is actually kept pretty up to date. Only negative (although we did not see it as a problem): if you rely on the advertised free breakfast, you might be disappointed, it is very minimal. But there are many nearby places where to go for breakfast so that ended up not being a problem at all. This hotel is very well priced for the quality and location. I would definitely go there again.

The Worst Hotel

I have never seen such a deceitful hotel like this one. The lady told a lie about an internet equipment in spite of double confimation when I made a reservation. The man at the front desk was very nasty and rude. I complained about internet immediately after my arrival, but he arrogantly said "" If you wanna cancel, pay full amount according to the cancellation policy."" I couldn't believe this hotel.

Hippie Hotel

Back in the 60's i would have liked the sunken mattress,noisy fan and bent-up blinds and sub-par amenities. But now that I'm grown-up and prefer better accomadations i think i'll stay down road the next trip.Oh yeah did they tell you parking in thier lot is 15 bucks a day extra.

Don't Stay Here

There is virtually NO Parking, its difficult and too close together. There is NO Air Conditioning, our room got to 120 degrees in the afternoon, unbearable. There was sand all over the floor, couch, bed. It was there when we got there, so not sure about the cleaning. The lady at the front desk was rude and not helpful. She was nasty to my daughter, who was there early in the morning for coffee and milk. But turned around and helped a man who entered after my daughter. This hotel was too expensive for what we got in return. NEVER stay here!!!

Not So Great

The hotel was not at all what we expected. The staff, except one gentleman, was rude. Our room smelt like mold and sulfer and the carpeted floor was wet. Also, we were in lower unit so we could hear everything above us. Parking is bad-$15 a night if there is a space. Otherwise they recommend parking next door for $* night. Not so helpful! The location is great, however. You are right there next to the pier and shopping.
