We had to catch an early flight the next morning and hung out with friends on our last night in California so our stay was very short but it was very pleasant. The bed was super comfortable. The room was clean, the place was quiet and very close to all Santa Monica has to offer. Would definitely stay here again!

Very limited parking for hotel guests. You have to check in- the drive your car to a public parking structure, pay to park, and walk half a mile back to the hotel. Would be nicer if they had actual parking for guests like surrounding hotels.
