Property was clean. Rooms have everything you need. Staff was wonderful. On Saturday afternoon and evening the pool area turned into a night club. Complete with stage, DJ and 200-300 people (not hotel guests). We were unable to use the pool, and would have to fight a huge crowd to use our bar credits. Couldn’t rest in our room due to noise and certainly couldn’t sit on your balcony and enjoy your view. Was told the party would be over at 8 pm so the kids had hopes to finally enjoy the pool but music didn’t turn off until after 9 and party goers still had the pool completely taken over until after pool closed. Staff was very understanding and obviously these events are not in their control.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was really impressed. The property has a luxurious vibe that you feel as soon as you walk in. Our rooms were nice, clean, and refreshed daily—housekeeping did an excellent job. One of the biggest perks was the location. The hotel is basically 100 feet from the pier, so it was incredibly convenient to walk over any time of day or night and spend time there. There are also plenty of great restaurants and really nice shops within walking distance. The staff was accommodating and friendly at all times, especially Tony, who helped us with our luggage when we were checking out—he was fantastic. We also loved the hotel restaurant. We ate breakfast there every morning, and the food was delicious. We had dinner there once as well, which was excellent, though a bit pricey—but that’s to be expected with a high-class hotel like this. The pool and hot tub were lovely, with lots of chaise loungers to relax on. The only downside was the elevator. There’s only one elevator in the entire hotel, so we often waited five minutes (sometimes more), and it got pretty congested. Not a big deal though, just a minor inconvenience. Overall, this was a great value pick, and I would absolutely stay here again. I highly recommend it if you’re planning a trip to Santa Monica, California.

He went out of his way to get to know me and my two sons. He did everything he could to make our trip the best and we won’t forget the service. Easy call to stay here again next time.
