3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

The staff was nice, the room was clean and the location was 2 blocks from the Pier but man, was it expensive to stay here. Parking was $20 a night but take it...parking is at a premium. I paid for a room with queen beds but they were only full sized. I did not say anything to the desk though.... More

Nice little hotel and very very affordable given its location. The rooms are clean and the front desk helped us with are basic requests. I have to admit the hotel decor is a little old though but it was clean! That's why I will stay here again.

Nice hotel, wonderful location. My thanks to Joy for being so helpful and accommodating! It was near the action of Santa Monica and seemed safe. My only recommendation would be updating the decor of the rooms - otherwise excellent value.

We stayed in an ocean view room looking right out onto the beach and the Santa Monica Pier - awesome view! The view and the location are definitely the best parts of choosing to stay here. It is a quick walk (even with two small kids) to the pier, Santa Monica Place (shopping centre) and Third Street Promenade (shopping and... More

The lobby is deceiving. It looks nice, but nothing like the room. First off, I was traveling alone and had to park underground in the poorly lit parking garage. Upon arriving at the hotel, I wanted to cancel, but was stuck there because I did not give 24 hours notice of cancellation. Next time I will know better. I knew... More

A very good hotel in a fantastic location. By no means a 5 star hotel but for what you pay it certainly is value for money. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, directly across the road from the pier and only a block from 3rd ave shopping mall & restaurants. Front desk staff Jose & Joy... More

Had such a great experience at this hotel, we arrived well before check in time and the very friendly lady (can't remember her name) checked us right in and was so helpful, the room was spotless, beds extremely comfortable and the location is the best for the price.
