Although I would consider the property more of a motel then a hotel, it was clean, well kept and had everything we needed for the short time we were there. It wasn't too far from the Santa Monica Pier and was a quick Uber ride to the event center hosting the event we had tickets to. If we find ourselves in Santa Monica in the future, we'll consider staying here again.

This is a really nice boutique type hotel that despite its age has been nicely restored. Room was modern and clean. Great location that is walking distance to Santa Monica Pier. Only complaint at all was water pressure being very low in sink and shower.

Good luck finding a parking spot. They do not disclose that parking is first come first serve and I had to park on the street with hopes of not getting towed. Bugs in the room! Shower handle broke off. Front desk staff were rude. First time here was great! Second time will be the last time! Will never stay again!
