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.

The property was cute and staff was friendly. I wish it was clear when booking the room did not have AC. It was unseasonably warm and it was a challenge to stay cool at night but the area was very quiet.

A lovely hotel with friendly, helpful employees. We spent two nights with our dog and had a very positive experience. Room 32 is on the street, but it’s a somewhat larger room. For us, the street was like white noise in the background, so we all slept great. Probably not for someone who has trouble sleeping though. There is a great dog park in the neighborhood.
