I'd give this place 5 stars but due to the parking charges I cut one off. $80 dollars a night to park your car at the hotel your staying at is ridiculous. We asked the attendant if there was any public garages nearby and he said no. However, there's 2 right across the street.

We appreciated the kind and helpful staff, and the restaurant and lobby area were pleasant. However, we found the rooms to be quite small and the outdoor pool area to be very loud as it's situated right next to a main road. Our room was also looking directly at the McDonald's with a lot of questionable people going in and out so that wasn't great.

Good stay, convenient location

Solo travel in LA. Decided to stay in Santa Monica. Hotel is in great location. 1 block from the Santa Monica Pier and walking distance to lots of great food and bars on Ocean Ave. Room was large with a sofa which was nice. Only complaint was that my room wasn’t serviced for 2 days I was there despite asking the front desk each time! Probably a mess up somewhere in their system. Nonetheless recommend the stay. Comfortable place, good location. Cheaper garage parking across the street.
