If you want to pay $50 for parking (there is really no other option), $8 for a bottle of water out of your mini bar (no vending machines for that exact reason) and hear cars and outside noise all night then this is the perfect place for you! The guy at the front desk was everything but helpful. My son and I got stuck in Santa Monica for a night because it was too late to dive home and we were both exhausted. It’s a good thing we ate dinner because nothing was open past 10pm. We ended up spending a fortune on junk in the mini bar. The least they could do is provide something other than a bag of peanuts and m&m’s if they are going to rob you. The room was clean, modern and pleasant. We paid for a room with a balcony ocean view and it was a great view from the 3rd floor except for the homeless compound that was set up directly across the street from us all night until morning came. That’s always a pleasant view for that price. I only slept for a few hours because of the noise of outside and the room above us which I complained about to no resolve. Overall, ok place for one night but definitely not worth the price or frustration. I won’t be staying there again or recommending it to anyone.

We appreciate your feedback, we sincerely apologize you were stuck in Santa Monica for the night. Santa Monica and like other cities have the unfortunate issue with the homeless. We thank you for your feedback and wish you a Happy New Year!

We paid for an ocean view room and felt it was money well spent. We did not have an issues with noise (although it was a Sunday, which may be a quiet time). Very conveniently located to the beach and our favorite restaurant, Ye Olde Kings Head.

So overall this is a nice property and the beds are comfortable. Unfortunately there are a couple of things that made our stay horrible and I will try to avoid this hotel in the future. The insulation between rooms is apparently lacking. We had a folks next door to our room that played rap music all night long. And we could also hear them talking. Above us they tromped around like a herd of elephants. Although the hotel is on a busy street we didn't notice excessive street noise, maybe because the other guests were so loud we couldn't hear it. Also, the shower lacks something to be desired it is a rain shower but you actually have to get in it to turn it on, not really good when the water is ice cold to start. All in all, we will look for a better hotel in the same area next time.
