We have stayed at this hotel 13 times in 16 years, which is every trip we have taken to LA in that time. The hotel is clean, quiet, reasonably priced, easy self parking and helpful, friendly staff. This is not a luxury hotel, but it has everything you need to have a great vacation.

Staff were great. My air condtioner was not working initially, but they were quick to resolve it. The attached restaurant was great. Love being in Santa Monica, but with it comes traffic and sirens. Breakfast was limited with people trying to juggle their plates and coffee due to only a few seats in the lobby. Overall, excellent.

The room was what we expected, but the breakfast was to pricey for what we paid. We would stay there again but I wouldn’t pay extra for the breakfast.
